The Tryst of Trust


I very nearly lost my books on Kindle,and that only the paperback would be available. The thought of no more Kindles and having half  my market gone was depressing. Black Rose Writing my publisher gave us the opportunity to buy the e-rights to our book and get them published independent with KDP.
It was a worrying couple of days,but when I prayed about it the Lord laid on my heart to trust ,the publisher to sort things out,give it time .Today an e-mail came and it did get sorted and Black Rose Writing came out well on it .I was so glad I did not give up but waited on what the Lord said .
When you cannot see an answer it does NOT mean to say that God is not at work! He does not owe you or me a progress report nor does He have to give daily updates- He is God and He is working on our behalf. We have to make the decision to trust Him just as I had to trust my publisher to get the problem sorted out. In fact the Lord helped my publisher and got everything fixed and my Kindles are back on Amazon.
Faith is part of trust,we make a commitment to trust God before we see results or get updates.Then we can look back when the Lord answers and praise Him .Without faith it is impossible to please God and faith is the substance of things hoped for the promise of things not seen. A couple of days ago I had no Kindle books now they are back on sale.God had me trust Black Rose Writing my publisher. I can do no less when it comes to God Himself and He has never let me down .

The heart song of the Robin

I had been feeling down and tired over the last few days.Today was my birthday so Steph and I went over to Inverewe Gardens, which are lovely and they even have palm trees in them (Yes all you Texas family Palm Trees in Scotland)
Well we were going through the gardens photographing flowers and trees here and there,then we heard beautiful singing form one of the trees and there the Robin was singing his little heart out to the Creator.
As I listenend the Lord spoke to me heart .
"Does the Robin sound afraid?" To which I replied "No Lord " Does he look worried and fearful" to which I replied "No Lord."
"He has to get food as you do. I provide for both of you.He has difficulties to face  but I protect both of you.
He needs a place to stay I give to both of you."  Then the Lord went through all the things I was worried about and you know I could not think of anything that He could not handle.
There was I churning over all this and there was the Robin on the tree singing his heart out to God,trusting that God would provide.The Robin was my messenger from God ,I hope he brings a message to you .
