Trust God and He Will Take Care

"You won't be where you are forever. God promises when you trust him that he'll take care of you wherever you are and get you where He wants you to be."-Holley Gerth


         This saying was in my daily calendar today. It really hit the spot for me and what I am going through right now. I can take it bit by bit and just explain a paragraph of what that means in my life right now. I think that is might be how I write this entry. I'm starting with "You won't be there forever". I don't know what it is with me but for some reason I can stay in a place for more then, what seems like, 5 years by myself. I don't know if I moved around too much while I was growing up or I get to bored easily but it isn't fun. Sometimes I get into places where I have only be a year or two and then after those years I fell like I am ready to move on already.
        The next sentence is my hardest one to do in life but yet it should be so simple. It is: "God promises when you trust Him that He'll take care of you wherever you are." The hard part about that is just the trusting part. I know God will take care of me in a way but it is the trusting that is it where I am suppose to be or is this what is next for me that really gets me. It is stepping out of my comfort zone and fear of the unknown. I have felt that a lot lately because I don't have a plan from this life forwards right now.
       It is also hard because of the word "promises". I now that seems strange but it is true. It is just that I think, "promise" or "promises" is a lose term in so many ways in life. It is just hard to know what it really means but I did look up to see if it would help me understand it better. Here is what it means: "a declaration that something will or will not be done, given, etc., by one" and it also means "to engage to join in marriage". The meaning is still confusing for me a bit. I guess in my words it would be this, "when someone tells you or speaks to you something that they will do or not to, ect. by that person. 
       I also like the marriage explanation because that is a good one to think about if you plan on getting married or already are. People are joining in on marriage, not getting married to be apart. You are engaging with the other person while living with and being apart of them. You are promising to be One. If that makes any sense. Sorry, kind of, got off topic there. 
        The next sentence is a good one to remember too. It is: "Get you where He wants you to go". It is a reminder that God is never going to leave you along. He just has a different path for you then you probably planned. It could be a greater one. I know the path I am on now is a greater one for me then I ever planned. I have got to experience a lot of different things that I never thought I would and I'm learning a lot about people and me. Even learning a lot about God and growing closer to Him because of the path He chose for me.
          It is also a promise, though, from God. God is promising that He will get us where He wants us but just in His Timing, not ours. Some may think about getting us to Heaven and that is true but He also wants us to do certain things here on the earth to help His Kingdom grow. God has certain places and things He wants us to be and do so He will get us there and help us get things done. After, we have done the things God wants us to do, then He might have us move on to another place. God has put promises and desires in our hearts for a reason and He will answer them in His Time. We just have to be patience and obey the path He has for us to take. 
          Like the title says (in a shorter version of the quote), "Trust God and He will take care.......of you."
