Faith Builder

I have been sick all week. Several days I could not even read a book it was that bad, and for me, reading is what I do when made to wait something out.

I had such an open week on my calendar and was so excited to get far in my homeschooling and reduce some of the mom-stress. God had other plans. God often has plans for us that we don't expect or even want.

I am recovering, but God used my down time to really boost my weakened faith. I watched Christian TV this week more than ever and most every topic I heard was about BELIEVING GOD and FAITH. Now that the week is over and I am on the upside of the sickness I am grateful Grateful for the sickness.

I am grateful for the scriptures I kept hearing, the encouraging words, and the correction that I needed in my attitude about GOD. He is amazing and for me to doubt Him for one second is to really deny who I already know Him to be. I have things written in journals of His goodness and faithfulness, but sometimes I don't look at those reminders. I always have the cross as the greatest reminder of His love.

That alone is enough, Lord, forgive me for not trusting You and wavering in my faith. And thank you for putting me on my back this week so I could look up and see You.
