Trust is an Issue

I realized yesterday that I need to trust God more.

Honestly, I think He knows what he is doing. I have been stressing (a little) about financial problems when Chris and I get married, and how we are going to afford everything, blah blah blah. And though there is a good reason to be worrying about it, I feel like all I can do right now is do my best at saving and spending money, and let God do the rest. Yeah, it's not going to be an easy walk when Chris and I get married, at least for the first year until Chris graduates, but what couple doesn't struggle at first? I think this is a good time that Chris and I come together as a couple, and turn to Christ to take everything. I know that God will provide, in one way or another. 

I mean, I don't think I'm doing a bad job watching my finances, but I know God could do better. Money is a thing nowadays that rips couples apart in a heartbeat. If there are rough times, most people look for the door, so they don't have to deal with it. Chris and I will never give up on each other. EVER. Neither one of us believes in divorce, and we both know that as soon as we say our vows, we're in it for the long haul. No giving up when times are rough, no backing down, no falling away from each other or God. In fact, Chris and I are looking forward to those hard times. God will teach us something every opportunity He gets, and I'm actually looking forward to it. I know that Chris and I can survive, with the help of God. Our faith must come first, and God needs to be a bigger part in our relationship. I think Chris and I should start praying more frequently together, and really think and pray hard about what God wants us to do with our finances, before we make those decisions. 

Is it going to be hard our first year? Absolutely. Is it going to be hard even when we both have stable salaries? Most definitely. But during those hard times, there's one thing that can pull us through, and that's God. He knows what He is doing, and it's about time I give the reigns back to Him.
