I don't know why, but I tend to struggle with my faith at times. I live a fairly easy life with not many worries, but I still struggle with my faith.
Every once in awhile God gives me a kick in the pants to wake me up and let me know that He is, in fact around and that He cares for me.
Over the past few weeks, my family has had a lot going on. Chris was sick and in the hospital over Christmas, my car has been messed up and barely running, and both of our heating units went down at our house in the last few days.
But with everything that has been going on, it is evident that God is in control.
Chris is much better...still in pain, but is able to breathe and swallow, and is not snoring anymore (Halleluiah! - I love you Chris :)
My parents have been taking care of my car for me the past few days, so hopefully that is cleared up now.
And today, Chris had the heating guy come to fix our units. The guy was there around an hour or so fixing both units and did not charge us a penny for his work. He said it was all not a big deal and that he would just write down that we had figured out the problems for ourselves before he got there.
I don't know why I doubt or struggle with faith. There is no reason under the sun for me to doubt. God takes care of my every need and blesses me to no end. He keeps slapping me in the face with amazing things that prove His presence in my life.
Someday soon I'll put another story on here that happened where God showed his power and majesty in my life.
Until then, Praise God!

It's good to look back and realize the countless times God's hand is evident in our daily lives. I am sorry you guys have had so many difficult things going on this month. I don't know why when it rains it has to pour. You know you can call on Cody and me if there's any way we can help out. I feel like I haven't sat down and talked with you two in ages- I don't like feeling out of touch! Let's hope life group gets back into a normal groove again soon.
Stephanie,
I think we all struggle with our faith from time to time it is part of life. I think one reason is because Satan is alive and well. But the victory comes in not staying there, and you are victorious!! Seeing where God's fingerprints have been takes faith and continued trust. I will look forward to hearing about the other story. Until then, keep up the good fight!
I totally agree - we all struggle. I can't remember the name of the guest professor we had one week but I do remember him saying the opposite of faith is not doubt but complacency. Our questionable moments lead us to an obvious answer - as it did in your case. Hallejuah. Thanks for sharing your faith story. We all need to do that. Tell Chris we love him and are praying for him fervently. You are an amazing couple!
