"Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is within him."  Jeremiah 17:7

I came across this scripture tonight while scanning Pinterest and it really screamed at me, it wasn't subtle at all, it nearly jumped off the page.  I think it really set itself apart because I am and always have been on a journey with the Lord.  Faith is easy for some and so much more difficult for others and I believe it is not something that comes naturally for me but a little nugget of life that I have to continually work at.  It is not that I don't believe or have any doubt in a being much greater than you or I, it is simply things just aren't how I envisioned them.  Are they for anyone?  However, as this scripture so clearly states, blessed are those who trust and have confidence.  Everyone is given faith at birth, a mustard seed if you will, but we all take it and make it our own.  I need to take my faith, trust it (and the people around me) and have confidence that even if I am not doing what I want to be doing, the Lord is blessing me.
