Trust

I started reading Joshua on my daily bible reading and four times the first chapter spoke some words that I really needed to hear.
Be strong and courageous...Be strong and very courageous...Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go...only be strong and courageous.
I know he was talking to Joshua and the Israelites, but the God who took care of them is going to take care of me, and I need to rest assured in that. I keep worrying about my future but he's got it under control if I will just let go.

So, what's it like in the real world? Well, the food is better, but beyond that, I don't recommend it.
