So this morning as I was reading through Luke I came to the part where Jesus wanted to go to the other side of the lake with his disciples. They got in the boat, set out to the other side, obeying what Jesus had asked of them. Jesus falls asleep. Even though Jesus was asleep He knew what was about to happen. It began to storm, the disciples thought they were going to die. They wake Jesus with, "Master, Master, we're going to drown!" Jesus rebuked the wind and raging waters and the stormed stopped; all was calm.
He asked them one question -
"Where is your faith?"
I don't know why this struck me so hard this morning. It made me think about my personal life, where is MY faith? Do I really believe God is going to give me all of the desires of my heart like He has promised to those who delight in Him? Do I really believe He is here with me? Do I really believe He is my provider? Do I really believe that He is directing each one of my steps? Do I really believe that He is watching over me? I think God may be trying to tell me, He knows that I am coming into a part of life where it's a natural reaction to be a little fearful, but where is my faith?
My faith is in God, in Jesus -my savior, who saves me daily.
Thank you for the reminder, Jesus.

storms of life are going to come, but He can calm any storm and He will whenever we call out to Him
Everyday is a journey and I am sharing mine. TOTAL SURRENDER; sums up my life. On September 28, 2008 I made the decision to totally surrender my life to Jesus Christ...and ever since that day He has been teaching{what a process!} me how to surrender all areas of my life to his Lordship. He teaches me something new daily and His grace truly is amazing. God Bless!

CHANGE
I have always told people that CHANGE, no matter a good or bad change, is always hard. It is in change that forces us to move from the comfortable to the uncomfortable. As I go through a completely new season of life, I am forced into the uncomfortable and with this change I am daily discovering things about myself. Some things I like, some things I don't.
Throughout all of the changes that life brings, there is one thing I know to be constant;
God's love.
I am finding out that in certain areas I may fail miserably, but I look up and realize that no matter what, God's love will always be there. I pray that my life is pleasing to Him, that His Will be done and not my own.
