Lately I'm just super drained. Not from the strenuous activity I perform (Oh believe me - it's not that), but just drained in a sense of faith. I've just really really been low on it. Like I believe in God and everything, I just don't trust him very much to take care of various situations. Like I can go on and pray to him about stuff, pray that things get better, and just pray pray pray, but I don't have much faith that it'll happen. I just assume things will never get better. That I'll be forever kicking a wall trying to transform it into a door. And that's not what I should be doing. Anyway I discussed this situation with my very trusted friend (we'll just call her Mrs.T ;]) and she really helped me out a lot. I realized that this whole time I've been praying for the wrong thing. I was asking God to get closer to me.But what I didn't realize is that I couldn't get closer to him without having faith in him. If I didn't trust him fully, how could I be close friends with him? It didn't make any sense! So now I've been praying that God will help me to trust him more, and that he'll renew my faith in him. And I'm starting to see results!I've been tested, but I'm getting stronger. And I love it :)

Life gets tough. Faith is shown during the tough times. It is SO EASY to have faith when things are going along smoothly, but when the bottom falls out...THAT is when your true faith shows. During those tough times is when faith grows, so don't be sad when the tough times happen, instead, recognize them as growing times and times of perseverence that will grow your faith into something more, something even more exciting and real. All we have to do is reach out and grab the hand of the Father, He carries us through.
I love you Linds....
Mrs. T :o)
