Walking By Faith


It's incredibly hard to walk down a road when you don't know where it leads to.  You are unsure of what to expect; what it will be like.  The only thing you are certain of, is that you have no choice but to travel down this unfamiliar road.

 Imagine this.  You are happy.  You have an awesome job.  In your eyes, your life is perfect and you think that it can't get any better than this.  You have a beautiful home, an amazing group of friends that you can't imagine doing life without.  You have finally found the perfect church and your family is thriving.  But what if?

 What if you lost your home?  What if something happened with your job?  What if the life you love so much was suddenly ripped apart?  What if?  What if God wanted you to walk down a different road?  What if He was asking you to walk by faith and not by sight?  Would you try to do anything to keep life as you know it?  What would you do?  Walking by faith is difficult.  If you are like me, I have to know the entire plan.  I want to know every detail before I can make a decision.  But sometimes, that doesn't happen.  Sometimes, we know that there is only one logical answer to a problem and we have to take that leap of faith.  We have to choose to walk by faith and not by sight.  We have to say to God, "okay God, I am trusting you through this".  I can tell you that walking by faith isn't always easy for me.  At times, it makes me uneasy, it makes me anxious, it makes me question things and even God.  But what if?

 What if God was moving you; your life, your family to set you up for your destiny?  What if He needed you somewhere to minister to someone specific because of your skills and talents or because of your testimony?  What if there was a bigger blessing waiting for you and your family and all that was required of you to receive it was to walk by faith?  What if?  What if God was trying to make your already perfect life unimaginable?  What if your purpose in life is about to be revealed?  You know, something that will completely fill you and give you purpose again.  What if you just allowed yourself to have complete faith and trust in God; the one who already knows what's up ahead?  What if?

Are you at a place where God is needing you to walk down an unfamiliar road?  One where there are so many unknowns.  Is He asking you to give up something in your life that you love; that you couldn't imagine ever changing?  Is He asking you to move?  Is He asking you to give up your job and pursue something else?  Is He asking you to walk by faith and trust Him?  If He is asking you to do something, remember, there is a reason, a purpose; He already knows every single detail.  What if you choose to walk by faith?  What if?

Thank You, God, for Making Me a Mom

Looking back on my life, when I was just a small girl, I dreamt of becoming a mother one day. Being a mom was the only thing I wanted to be when I grew up.  I didn't have aspirations to be a doctor or a lawyer or a teacher.  I simply wanted to be a mom.  So today, I am so thankful to my God.  He is the one who allowed my childhood dream of motherhood to come true. I am truly humbled that he picked me to be Cody and Owen's mommy. I come from a lineage of women who set the perfect example of what it is to be a great mom. The love of a mother is endless, as my mom, continues to show me even as I am an adult and have children of my own.   Today is the day we celebrate our moms and all of their hard work.  To show our appreciation to the one who has cared for us and loved us from day one.  As I celebrate my mother and all she continues to do, I am also reflecting upon my God.  What a mighty God we serve.  It's because of His blessin...

Joy in the Face Of

Living with joy in the face of… I didn’t just wake up with joy one day.  I couldn’t feel it and I didn’t want it.  All I wanted was what my heart wanted and that’s all I could see.  The truth is, living with joy in the face of seems almost impossible, right; at least when you’re in the thick of it.  That is what I thought when this parental alienation started.  When I went from being able to speak to my children and hold them in my arms to nothing, I thought this was what would break me and snuff out my light.   But here I am, twenty-one months later, and I’m living with joy in the face of.  What I didn’t know in the beginning of it all was that the pain I felt combined with the joy I would soon allow to consume me, would work together in a way that even I can’t fathom just yet.  The two, would catapult my faith to a place it needed to go in order to see a perspective I couldn’t yet see.   The pain and joy working together trans...

Reflection—I’ve been on a journey through it lately.  Of moments gone, of things I wish I would have; of wondering how despite the… Reflection always teaches me something about life.  It teaches me something I may have overlooked or maybe refused to acknowledge in the face of.  It helps me to see things in a way I need to in order to clearly see. Reflecting has a funny way of showing me what is when what I’m looking at is upside down and maybe a little blurry.  Almost always pointing back to the direction of my thinking in the face of, and what I can change for what’s to come.   I’m thankful for what a little reflection can do for me.  Taking the blurry parts and making them crystal clear.  God always shows up in moments I least expect—but in moments when He knows I’ll hear him the loudest.  It’s in the middle of all the blurry parts of life, I need a little perspective.  And today, it took the dead of winter and an ice storm to ...
