Flowers Trust

Over the past two years, my body has taken a hit that can only be likened to a terrorist attack. One that it was completely not expecting. I was a moderately healthy teenage girl with big plans and hopes for my future, when I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Well.. that threw a kink in a few of my plans like college and graduating high school. With this diagnosis I had a tumor resection and several surgeries. Nothing in my plans for the end of my junior year of high school. 

Yet still despite all this trauma, I had to trust that God still cared, still had a special plan for me that He intended to carry out. How did I know this? By looking at one of my favorite things to paint. Sunflowers. I LOVE sunflowers, but they drive me absolutely crazy every time I try to paint them because there are so many petals and so many details - I generally try to stay away from them. Yet the bible says, And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. (Matthew 6:29). If God cares so much about those flowers that can annoy me so much that He made them so beautiful, even more so than the man who was given so much wisdom - then how much does He care about me? I hope I measure up a little ways to a flower! I've gotta trust Him to at least take care of my basic needs - He gives them water and soil, I need God and love - I think He can handle that.
