Learning to Trust

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted on here. I'll just give a little update on my life to date. God's really been teaching me a lot at college. Lessons about trust, and giving everything over to Him. I'm also learning that I'm not the greatest thing since sliced bread, but that I actually have a lot to learn and grow in. I challenge you each to try to work out these verse in your own lives:

1 Timothy 4:8-16 (New International Version)

8For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
9This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance 10(and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe.
11Command and teach these things. 12Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 13Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. 14Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you.
15Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. 16Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
