Lets be praying for victims of the tsunami in Samoa, the earthquake in Indonesia, and now the typhoon in the Philippines. If you’re like me, it’s easy to become passive to the growing litany of tragedies in the news and to just skip over to the next article of the day.

Remember, too, that organizations like World Vision, Food for the Hungry and others are already on site and asking for help.

When I just let Him make all things-even my tendency to cling to my ‘plans for today ‘ new, I find myself filled w/quiet expectancy and a deep trust in what Abba has in store for me. After so many years of thinking I was trusting, it is an eye opener to find out just ‘what I was trusting in !!
