"Just Trust Me"

It feels like it's one thing after the other for me. But I am working on trusting God more than ever these days. I mean, always trusted Him, but now it seems that I need to build an even deeper level of trust in Him. A few weeks ago at our college group at church we had a guest speaker and he was speaking on trust and faith. He asked for two people in the room that always talked to each other, and had an excellent relationship, in other words, who trusted each other. As fingers in the room pointed to my husband and I, the speaker called us up to the front, he whispered in Ricky's (my husband) ear and positioned me in front of him. After he was explaining the "trust excersie" where you fall back and the other person catches you, he nudged me back and I fell into Rickys arms. That was the first time in my entire life where I actually fell and allowed someone, even my own husband, to catch me. Its easy to see that with my disease I have a fear of falling. But that night It was like God was saying to me, "Just Trust Me".  I know that no matter what happens to me and my body, even my emotions--because it tends to be a package deal--that He will always be there to catch me from things that I fear most. And the only thing I can control is how I handle the situation. So I choose to bring glory to God and trust Him. After all, I am not a body with a soul, I am a soul with a body.
