My Mother and I just recently had a a conversation about FAITH. As most of you know I have been suffering from an illness that cause me to be in alot of pain. It also causes depression and fatigue. My mom is  always telling me that things will be OK and I just have to have FAITH. But do I really have FAITH? We say that we have FAITH and we say that we believe that GOD is real but, WHY is it so hard to rationalize that God will make it alright if we believe in him and his word? Its kinda silly that we put so much faith in MAN and doubt GOD. Even after all the Blessing we have received. We know it was God that did all these things for us. We know that it was GOD that helped you when that Bill was due and you had no idea where you would get the money. You know it was GOD that got you thru a tough relationship that didn't workout and you thought he/she was the one. It was GOD that woke you up this morning to go to that Job he blessed you with in the Car he also blessed you to have. We all sometimes get caught up in life and don't stop to Give thanks for what we have because if it weren't for GOD we wouldn't have these things. So why is it so hard for human kind to except and comprehend? I will tell you WHY.... We are a generation that has  see it to believe it.  We don't believe in things not seen. Faith is just that believing that all things NO matter what it is will be taken care of because you believe in GOD almighty. And you/we should know that if it is in GOD's will that he will supply all that we need and some of what we want if we are obedient to his word. Have you been obedient? Thank God that he is a loving and forgiving GOD and he will forgive me for not being faithful to him and his word. I know that I am here because of him and he shows me favor. I am ashamed that I didn't call on my faith or should I say believe whole heartily that he would see me thru this. I know that this storm is only for alil while and without Test there are No Testimony. And  I know that  I know better because My Father (god) taught me better than that! lol .....

Thanks Mom! CDG
