Faith

"'Ask yourself today, "What am I doing with my faith?" Are you putting your faith in yourself, or in others, or in your circumstances? That's not living in grace, that's just living by your own strength and works. And it won't get the job done!  But when you release your faith and trust God to do what you can't do, you're putting your faith in Him. The grace, God's power, will come through the channel of faith and will enable you to do things that will amaze you and others."" -- YouVersion Joyce Meyers Daily Devotion.

It's funny that this devotional came along in my path this morning because I have been questioning whether I had faith and reading this quote from Joyce Meyer has really shown me that I have had no faith at all, I was putting my faith in people and in circumstances and the result is, they all come crashing down.  I am ashamed to see that I haven't had faith in a long time; it is something that I failed to do because I always want to try to have control of everything that goes on in my life.  I pray for strength to let go of the desire to have control and allow God to truly have control over my life. 

I am excited about going to church tomorrow; a new place with new faces, maybe I can finally accept the idea that I cannot depend on people but on myself and rely on my faith in God to survive life everyday.  I just hope that I will like this church tomorrow and will continue to make efforts to go with the kids as well as time goes on.  I hope money will not be an issue to where I cannot go to church as often as I'd like.  I just hope that things will fall into place to where I can finally call a church a home here. 

Be Blessed
