I Walk In Faith...

Walking Yet in Faith

Keeping the Faith,,, No Matter What
You've been through what you consider the "worst of times" and have made it to a pretty good point in life. Things have settled down and there's no real drama going on to speak of and things really couldn't be better.

Yet somewhere in the back of your mind there is an uneasiness that says there's more to be done, more roads to be traveled, more tears to be shed. You can't quite put a finger on it exactly, it's just a feeling.

So we continue to travel the path set before us and know that it is by faith that we travel. It's not so much in those stormy days that we may begin to have some doubts, it's in times such as these that we really have nothing darkening the horizon.

What more can I do with what I've been given? These experiences of mine that I've made it through are for some greater purpose, I'm sure. What can I do to use what I've learned to its fullest capacity? Am I in any way wasting the time I've been given?

All of these are the questions of faith and although the day is dreary, rainy, and cold, there are so many blessings to count and so much yet to learn. I travel by faith and not by sight, knowing that He is with me ever still.

I am What I am...

"By the grace of God, I am what I am, and His grace
toward me was not in vain." - 1 Corinthians 15:10

My thoughts, as entered in my journal in the cafe' on a cold and rainy Saturday night:

And so I can ask God what it is that He would have me to do. I do not know what path I should take, but I come to God to ask for His guidance, wisdom, and strength for face whatever lies ahead.

I know of myself as a teacher,,, I know of myself as a person of God,,, I know I have no ties to bind me to the area... So perhaps this is a sign from God that my call is elsewhere and only in that elsewhere will I find peace.

It's to somewhere else that I'm being called,,, to somewhere else than the place I'm currently at,,, the only question is the when and the where and the why.

I know that God is in control of all and that He causes all things to work together for the good of those who believe in His name.

I pray to God this night to give me direction to do those things He would have me to do in His name... Whether or not the its something I understand...

And in this morning's first devotional reading, the scripture confirms these, my insights into His plan for my life.
