I read this verse this morning and it got me thinking. How do I approach God vs how does He say I should? I have always known that I can go to God with expectation, but do I truly come to Him with that level of confidence? I know I go to my own dad with that confidence. Just the other night, he told me to order pizza and I asked for his credit card without even a flicker of hesitation. I knew that He was going to pay for it, so when it came time to pay, I knew who to go to. I wasn't tentative or hesitant, I didn't wonder whether or not He would give it to me, and I definitely didn't assume He wanted me to pay. It's so simple, it's kind of ridiculous. It was a pretty good reminder. God is my father and He is a good one. I am still $2,830 away from my fees for the School of Illustration, but I don't need to be worried. Just like I had absolute certainty that my dad was going to pay for the pizza, I can and should have absolute certainty that He will pay for me to go back to YWAM. It's not a stretch to assume that of Him and I think He likes to see when we take that step and put it all on Him. So that's what I'm doing - putting it all on Him. I trust Him and I know that He is going to take care of me in every way. So instead of worrying, I get to be excited! =D I love art and I love God, so the thought of being able to be immersed in both for 3 months straight brings joy to my soul. This is going to be an amazingly fun adventure, no matter what it holds, because He is with me and whatever we do together is fantastic!

I want to come into complete agreement with this post and what it says; to proclaim God's freedom that He has, does, and will continue to provide over your life! I agree with it for me too.
