Alexis Kate's Birth Story- Part Three

Despite my list of disappointments I knew that if God allowed the pregnancy, then he would come through on meeting all of our needs. And he did, but I'll get to that later.

For the first time in our married life we were in a position to totally trust God with the future.  We had no control how the next year was going to play out.  So many times I would think- "Why were we so irresponsible?"

I didn't want to leave Atlanta before.  Now, I REALLY didn't want to leave.  I wanted to know where we were moving and when.
 
I learned a lot about trust.  A lot.  The next couple of months I read the verses in Matthew 6 over and over.  In case you're wondering here's what is says:


    ²⁵ “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷ Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?    ²⁸ “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹ Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰ If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? ³¹ So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

It's easy to say don't worry, but a totally different story to "do" don't worry.
