Details

It was encouraging to be reminded that God pays attention to the little details in our lives. I'm generally a meticulous person, and I pay attention to details to, but sometimes that comes out because I want to have control over every little thing, or something catches my eye because I'm being judgemental. It's interesting that God pays attention to detail because He cares, whereas I pay attention to detail sometimes because I fear.

Because of the YA summer book we are reading, I've been thinking about what fears are in my life, and how I need to take that step of faith to trust God. Even if I take that step, it doesn't mean that everything will be perfect, and that God will remove the fear, but God is intricate and He works for the good of those who love Him. Whatever happens will allow me to grow, and it will continue to glorify His name. As the days go by, and the time to leave for missions gets nearer, I get more anxious about preparations, logistics, and even if I've prayed enough for the trip. But I know God is working, and I trust that He is working in me too.
