In heavenly love abiding,
No change my heart shall fear,
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here.
The storm may roar with out me,
My heart may low be laid,
But God is round about me,
How can I be dismayed?
Wherever He may guide me,
No fear shall turn me back,
My shepherd is beside me,
And nothing shall I lack.
His wisdom ever waketh,
His sight is never dim;
He knows the way He taketh,
And I will walk with Him.
Green pastures are before me,
Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be o'er me,
Where darkest clouds have been.
My hope I cannot measure,
My path to life is free;
My savior is my treasure,
And He will walk with me.

My mom showed me this while I was packing up for college, and it has remained true since the day I left. It's one of those sweet reminders of God's sovereignty-which I frequently need. It is so easy for me to over think things and get all flustered and frustrated with myself. I can 'what-if' myself in or out of just about any decision-and then I always feel stupid, because He's got it all under control.
"For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength." -1 Corinthians 1:25
Why in the world would I think my way is better than that of the God of the universe, and spend all my time freaking out trying to manipulate things to turn out in my favor? All I have to do is trust and obey-regardless of if it makes sense to me or anyone else.
Psalm 27:13-14
"I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."

Yeah, I hear you Tori. Chronic over thinker that I am, I constantly have to remind myself to shut up, sit down, and listen to God. Otherwise, I end up feeling like a total loser later. Good post.
