In this season of my life God is building my faith because it is not unshakable... He wants us to have a faith that does not change with our emotions, but a faith that is only found in having a strong foundation in His truth and who He is.
As I sit and pounder my life this far I have seen a faith that has been shaken because of my lack of knowing and standing in His truth. Faith should be who we are, not who we think we should be. I want to have a faith the believes the impossible even when things seem impossible. I want to believe even when I am holding onto the last strand and it breaks...and say I still believe!
However, my faith has been shaken this month... As things never seem to fall into place... I felt my world crashing down like there was a ton of bricks on top of me keeping me from breathing and seeing what was ahead. In that moment I asked myself, " where is your faith?" It says in Hebrews 11:11- Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Are we "certain" of what we do not see?
As I sit here reminiscing of God's faithfulness in my life I have seen His hand of healing, His power, His love, How great He truly is. I have seen His hand upon His children and His LOVE that can never be compared to anything in this world. I have seen His love heal many lives and mine. He truly is faithful to finish the good work He started in us...
I wanted to share this video of pictures and clips from the past 7 years of my life. Beginning from starting an orphanage ministry to going out into the missions field...
