Life will always bring different challenges. Sometimes we go through a period that we just seem to soar through life and things are great. At these times it is easy for our faith in Christ to be strong and never ending. How is your faith ? when times are different than what you want them to be. I have always considered my faith to be strong, even in tough times. I feel that I have been able to press forward through the thick and the thin. I have to admit that over the past year and a half I have noticed that I second guess myself and Heavenly Father from time to time. I guess my confidence that Christ knows best is lacking a bit. I hear Ethan say from time to time, How is your Faith? This is one thing I thought that I had him beat on in the spiritual department.
We have some things to think about and things that we are praying for. I am trying really hard to let my faith in Christ take over and know that he knows whats best for us. So as I was sitting this morning thinking about my prayers the thought came to me, How's your faith? I quickly realized that my lack of confidence isn't so much in Christ, but in myself. Will I recognize that answer to our prayers and accept what is to be? I hope I can and become stronger because of it.

Oh Jen, I feel the same way a lot of times. When Josh had his Jaundice ( which is so easily treated ) I was a mess. Even though I KNEW he would be fine, the loss of Elizabeth is still so real and alive. I was so scared we were going to lose Josh. I mean, it happened once and we saw how quickly it happened. So what's keep the Lord from doing it again ? And then I realized very quickly that I need to have FAITH and trust in the Lord. It's so much easier said than done. I hope everything is going okay. Do you need anything ?
Jen- I noticed in my journey that I too have lack of faith sometimes. I think I finally figured out that the lack of faith is in myself and not in the Lord.
I always think I know the answers, but actually I usually get in the way of what the Lord has planned for me.
CONGRATULALTIONS ON THE NEW BABY
