got faith?

'Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.' Hebrews 11:1

ever since i became a Christian, i've claimed to have faith. but do i really? my husband unexpectantly lost his job this past friday. and since i quit my job 5 months ago to stay home with our baby girl, that means we have no source of income coming in. it also means no health insurance for our punkin. ah ha!... this is where my faith kicks in, right?


i want to rejoice in this trial... we as Christians are suppose to endure hardships as discipline and God disciplines us for our good. it means He loves us... it's times like this that we find out what we really DO believe... it's times like this that God draws us closer to Him... so that we learn to lean solely on Him for our every need. i have no idea what tomorrow holds, but i am sure that something better is around the corner and i am certain that God is in complete control of whatever happens. i pray that God uses this trial to strengthen my marriage with my husband and deepen my relationship with Himself.

I'm really glad you got your blog up- the pic of the three of you- wow! You are all so beautiful!

You know that God will provide- as he always does. You are in good hands. It's funny how things don't always seem to be the way WE want them to be but rest assured that things will unfold just the way HE intended them to.
I am sure that things will get better sooner than later. you are God's beautiful children and he wouldn't want yto see you suffer.

an amazing woman, joyce meyer, said this . . .

"we don't change in the easy times. we change in the hard times. we don't get to know God in the easy times. we get to know him in the hard times."

"whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. and the God of peace WILL be with YOU."
Philippians 4:9

"the name of the LORD is a strong tower, the righteous (that's you, sweet girl) run to it and are safe." Proverbs 18:10
