Just so you know, for irony purposes the post when the thing I'm worried about actually happens will be called "and into the fire."
Once again I'm dealing with a threat, but I'm just going to keep moving towards it. I'd like to think that's bravery, and it is a bit. It's more faith. When events outside my control conspire against me I remember that when I'm out of control God is more in control than ever. So when I come to the end of me, again, I remember all the times before.
He has never failed me. I've faced so much worse, and over and over he has shielded me, or moved me into the right position. I praise his steadfastness, and in fact I take joy in knowing that when he gives me a chance to lean on him, things are changing, and perhaps for the best.
More encouraging is that I saw this coming. For 10 months I thrashed and couldn't sit still, and the world stood still. For the last month and a half I have been still, and after being still things start to happen. When I trust him there is no higher honor than for the winds to rise, the storms to grumble, and my feet to stay planted on solid ground.
