One of my friends recently blogged about a Crazy Love Challenge. I think it is a basic prayer chain/outreach.
My walk with God has not always been great. I have always believed in Him, but I have a hard time placing my faith fully with him. As the saying goes, "I know God won't give me more than I can handle, but sometimes I wish he didn't trust me so much."
It seems as though when I get far enough away, I get a little tap on the shoulder and am reminded that I need to follow a bit closer.
I really don't want to go too much in depth, but those that know me know what a hard time its been. I am in school and haven't worked since May. Jeff is in school and just now started a job. We have the new baby, in addition to the boys. We are getting by, but it isn't easy. I know what prayer can do. My pastor called me one day about a month ago. We had really been keeping a lot of things private. Pastor David called, out of the blue, and asked how things were going. I was in the process of getting ready and trying to do my hair while the kids were entertained, so I almost ignored the call. Then I realized that was Satan, so I answered my phone. Long story short, I poured out my heart, ruined the mascara I had actually applied, and prayed on the phone with my pastor. Two days later, Jeff got the job at the college.
That is the power of prayer. That is the power of holding up your hands and letting God take control. I am a control freak! The sheer thought of letting go terrifies me, and God knows that, and that's why he makes me work on it.
So, I really don't know what my original point to this blog was...but I hope that I have written something that someone would find useful, or maybe just needed to hear right now.
Matthew 17:20-21
For truly I tell you, if you have faith
the size of a mustard seed, you will
say to this mountain, ‘Move from
here to there,’ and it will move; and
nothing will be impossible for you.”
