I am resting, for He is good!

The Lord gave me a verse today:
"Be at rest once more, oh my soul, for the Lord has been good to you."

This speaks directly to me heart today... I need to rest in Him.  I need to trust in His timing and be PATIENT with what He has given and provided.  I grabbed my old journals and found another time when the Lord gave me this exact verse.  It was October 5th, 2006 (almost 2 years to the date), and I was anxious about where I was going after college, I had just broken up with my boyfriend at the time, and my parents has just finalized their divorce.  I clung to this verse because I knew the Lord was faithful in providing and I knew that He, above all, was good.  AND look where He has me now... I am in Atlanta, blessed with a Godly community, and doing a job I absolutely love.  He was good two years ago, and I trust that He is going to be good still.  I love looking back and seeing where He has brought me from because the journey is marked by His love and provision.  I am resting in Him today because I know His arms are safe and loving and that His plan for my future is great.  I cannot wait to look back on this journal entry in 2010 and see where and what He has done.
