FAITH

Faith has been the theme in my Bible reading lately. Every where I read I am seeing that God wants to answer prayer, but we have a part to play we MUST BELIEVE we can't have any doubt. That is really hard to do. Scott and I have been praying that we could leave on Nov 15th and when I pray I have a little reservation there seems to always be a clause If or when. The verse I read today was in Mark it said (my paraphrase) when you pray believe and you will receive. We have a part to play. I have found having faith to provide our faith promise that's been easy I know He will, but believing He can by a certain date is another whole story. I believe I need to work out my faith and I need to believe God can, and will provide all our funds so we can leave by November 15th.

Looking back


I am always hearing how your not suppose to look back, but to keep your focus forward. Well I think that's correct, but sometimes I think it's appropriate to look back and remember what God has done. We are looking back over our journey so far and it's amazing what God has done. There have been so many faith boosters for our children and I thought I would share one with you. On one of our many trips, we were on the express way and we were pulling a trailer and we didn't realize we were on empty. Our car was stalling so Scott pulled over and the car stalled completely. Scott knew there wasn't another gas station for at least 5 miles. Did I mention this was at 10 o'clock at night. Scott said "let's pray that we will make it to the exit". So we prayed and Scott started the car and it went all the way to the exit. The kids were so excited they were screaming and praising God. Our car coasted all the way into the gas station. Our kids were yelling," It's a miracle, it's a miracle. " They were right it was a miracle. God wants us to pay attention He is working!
