Faith cannot grow under certainty.

So, I think its pretty safe to say that this is the first time in my life where I have had to really put my faith into action. Part of it is probably because it is the first time I make a major move in my life alone- no guys, no family, not even one single person I know here. I remember trying to plan and prepare for this when I was still in Florida and feeling butterflies of excitement! Now the butterflies have really come alive. I have been having to face my fears. Do things that are completely out of my comfort zone. But what truly amazes me in all of this is that God has been giving me a peace to trust Him in every detail. He keeps His promises. Every one of them. He will never leave me, never ignore me, never forget about me. He is always good. He will always take care of me. He is always generous. He is always in control. Someone once said "Faith cannot grow under certainty" and that is exactly what I am experiencing. I am so uncertain about so many things, and its making my faith grow. It is stretching me to depend less on myself and my own efforts and to completely surrender and believe in the amazing LOVE that Jesus has for me. I am His princess. WOOHOO!!!!
