FAITH

 

        I must admit that I am not accustomed to sharing my faith, but I do feel that it is important to do so here.  God gave me this idea to spread his word.  I will, as in all things, do my best to share this with you.

 

        In thinking about this part of the website, I have tried to define “faith” for myself.  The first thought that came to mind is that faith is a belief in God.  While this is true, it does not fully encompass what faith is to me.  Believing in God, unto itself, is not enough.  I know many people who believe in God.  Watching how they conduct themselves and live their daily lives, it is hard to see any witness of God’s work in their lives.  Believing in God is not enough, there has to be more to it than that.

 

        The next thought that I had was that faith is trusting in God.  Again, this concept falls short of what faith is.  We can trust that God is looking out for us, but then what.  Trust unto itself is not sufficient.  On bad days, I still trust that God is with me and watching over me, meanwhile I run rampant trying to do things my way.  So, I can trust that God is there, and not ever let him in.

 

        Now that I have shown you what I feel that faith isn’t, let me try to explain what I feel that faith is.  Faith does involve belief and trust, but it is much more than either of those things.  Faith is the absolute belief that God’s plan is perfect.  Faith is knowing that if I follow the path that God is lighting before me, then I will not falter in achieving what God wills.  Faith is trusting that God is there beside me, more often than not, God is carrying me.  By myself, I am nothing, with God all things are possible.

 

        I have faith that God has a plan for me and my family.  I do not understand the plan, and I sometimes wish that I could have a different plan.  I do not like what Cystic Fibrosis and Epilepsy are doing to my children.  However, I know, I trust, I believe, I have faith that God’s plan for them and for me is perfect and if I can stay out of the way, then Glorious things will happen. 

 

        Please come back and visit us, as we take our journey through life, God is working through us to let his message be heard.  We have faith that God’s plan will become known to us in his time.  We will watch and listen for God’s guidance as we walk the path together.
