The Story of Jennifer Lovejoy

I have always struggled with trusting people. 

Ever since I can remember, my walk with God has been either blazing hot or freezing cold depending on my relationships with those around me. When I would be hurt by friends or family, I'd turn to God to fill that void. Once things with them had been straightened out, I'd put God back on His little spot on the shelf until I needed Him again. 

I had formed a habit of thinking I was getting through things in life just fine, and then when something didn't go according to plan, I'd cling to God. 

This pattern was broken when I moved to Eastern Washington University in September of '09. I knew no one, not even my room mates, my family was five hours away and I realized how shallow a life I had been living.

I broke down. I cried for two weeks. I told God that I needed Him all the time not just in the times that I have nothing on my social calendar. I found that by spending time with God, I could practice everything I learned from Him on the people He put in my life.  

It's been a challenge at times to keep my trust in God. But He never fails to remind me that He has provided for me in the past by meeting my most basic needs. 

I know I can trust that God 

will continue to provide for me 

in the future.
