I want to share with you about my faith. I remember as a teenager I put alot of faith in friends, money, situations. I grew up in a home where we went to church every Sunday. The people in our church was like family to me. But, when I graduated High School, I rushed off to the Army. I wanted to escape my parents. When I was in the Army, I faith only in myself. I believed at the time the only reason I made it through the Army was my anger. When I left the Army my faith was my husband and new child, and for many years this is what I believed. I was misreable, I even thought of leaving and running to another adventure that may of brought me more faith and refreshment. At the age of 27 I walked into this church and my whole view point of faith changed. I excepted the only faith we need and that is Jesus Christ. Through this adventure of faith, God gave me wonderful councelors to heal wounds, he changed my heart from a career orinted mom to a stay at home mom. He changed us to become homeschool parents. He helped me become close to my dad and stepmom and to forgive my mother. He helped me to fall in love with my son, and stop these power struggles I was doing. He helped me to fall in love with Jeff, and look at him as my husband and not my savior. He gave me wonderful girlfriends in and out of my life, who have shown me alot that God can use me in. And my thinking of God is always and formost special and I know so much about Him and I want to know more. So He can utilize me to further His Kingdom and bring more people to Him. It had to start small, like a mustard seed, and now it is big. Faith is wonderful, it gives me hope to carry on a legacy for my Lord, one that will follow in my children and my children's children. I am so excited for the life God has given me and the events that will keep coming.
Father, thank you for never giving up on me. And thank you for all the people who have graced my life and made me stronger. Thank for your word and the growth that I have had through it. I love you and I will willing follow you and be your servent. Amen.
