In training!

Faith, what does it mean?, How does it work? I could ask the same thing about trust!

Faith: Confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing.(GOD)

Tust: Firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing.(Again GOD)

It's amazing how you can think that you understand these or at least you have a pretty good handle of how to use and practice them. Then in a matter of minutes God can throw something at you, or drop it in your lap when you are totally not expecting it. What do you do? How do you deal? The best answer that I can think of is Faith and Trust. They go hand in hand.

It sounds so easy and desireable.....but I have found it to scare the pants off me. And that in itself makes me question myself. How well do I trust? How is my faith? It has humbled me huge just in the past 24 hours. I need to lean on God more and I need to know that he has thing under control.

I know that these challenges and stretch marks are building my Charactor and helping me to become more beautiful. Kinda of a wereid that that stretch marks will make you beautiful, but who am I to argue with God?! The journey can be long and tiring....but the treasure is more then worth it at the end. I just need to remember that and know that God is my daddy and He is looking out for me.

God give me the stregth to become the Godly woman you want me to be!!!

you've come so far,
with still so far to go;
but with your daddy's hand in yours,
you'll learn to trust, to believe and love,
to look into your daddy's eyes.

Thank you for learning, for striving so hard, for inspiring those around you (especially me).The Father's work is not done in you, but it has begun and the transformation is wonderful.
