Walking in Faith

I am waiting…waiting with peace and joyful expectation in my heart. Waiting…on quite a few important things! Waiting is crucial because much of our life is spent waiting. I’d like to wait with a good posture. I’d like to wait trusting. I’d like to wait with God who moves faster than I ever could!

This is God’s Word to me this week as I feel the Holy Spirit’s prompting to MOVE. Flee evil. I’m not going to win against giants that are more we’ll established than I am. Sometimes, God gives you the grace to get through the hard, sometimes He tells you to flee. He tells me that […]

This is the time of my life when I feel hard pressed on every side, but not crushed. At times afraid, but encouraged by my Heavenly Father daily. God is so good and I rest my whole life on this fact. One can not argue with facts. I believe that He is good and loves […]

Anticipation-I love this word. It hints at excitement, something good is coming. This is how I am to wait for the Lord. I am waiting for important things right now. Some things are much harder to wait for than others. Trusting God has my very best in mind and that I am dearly loved, holy, […]

There is simply no other way to live, no other foundation that can produce it, no other relationship that can sustain it, but in Jesus. We have faith because of him. In suffering, in good times, in coasting, and in desperate need. The promise for us to cling to is that FAITH IS REWARDED!!!
