a little mother teresa

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.
-mother teresa

I was reading a book yesterday, and this quote was in it. I kinda chuckled when I read it. This season that God has begun in my life is kinda wrapped up in this statement. I'm not saying that I am anywhere near Mother Teresa. I would never make that comparison, but God is stretching my faith. God demands all of your life, and He will do anything to get all of it. He will put you in a place to where you have to rely on Him alone, to where even your existence depends on Him (or at least to where you finally see the truth that it does). So far, no other financial support has come in. I'm all in God, WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW! I know that this is not the sugar coated, perfect faith or story of perfect faith, but it is real. I KNOW that God will provide and that He has the best in mind, but sometimes you just get a little frustrated. This quote kinda sums up exactly my feelings. Thank you God for all you do and that you are my only provider and guide. Thank you for stretching my faith, but I think I'm good now... Just kidding! (kinda) I know that looking back is always completely different than looking forward, and that I will see God's providence and grace and supplying provision. I am relying on this because that is all I have to have faith in. I can not have faith in my faith, but in God's faithfulness. Thank you God for that.
