Faith
I awoke this morning feeling the call of faith.Each morning I do my daily devotions.And each evening close in scripture reading.I see the difference when I,start off,with the glorious words.And close each day, otherwiselife,can pose many distractions.To be call away from these special moments.I tell myself, this my faith insurance for today.We are adding on an addition,to where the back porch used to be.On a older log home.Which has taken one year to get half way completed.Which has proved to be quite a challange.
Living in Alaska,you only have a brief time, of good wheather to build.But this addition has given us extra living space.Provided my enjoyable get togethers with family and friends.Sometimes the building is going so slow.We think dear Lord.Will this project be ready before winter?Will we have all the building materials etc.?Will have enough help to complete, the most important ones frist?
Low an behold some things will come to us,in unexspected ways.Funds are there,the help appears.The supplies are be acquired.With prayer daily,commitment,and faith in the Lord.it's amazing how it all unfolds.I have prayed for so may years,to live in Alaska.This one answered prayer.After another three years of praying.We now have real plumbing,oh who ever knew how happy.A person could become,yes,we do have electricity,
other neccessities.
But The Lord,allowed me to live,in the roughness,of the woods elements.This what I asked to experience.Boy was it provided,now I don't mind having a few creature comforts.My faith has grown in leaps and bounds.Through this house renovating.And also has given me a stronger foundation.In my walk in faith,my health has improved greatly.
Seven years ago the doctors,told me my diganosis,didn't look very good.I expeienced all the emotions,that come with this.My good news today.I can give Praise the Lord.My health has improved my life has been renewed.My faith is as strong as ever.So I'm acquiring more patience,and understanding,of some of the ways the Lord,changes ones life.The house will be completed on the Lord's time.So I will continue,my life's flight of faith.
To let the healing to continue in my life. I pray this will be a message and a blessing,to all who read this.If the saying faith can move mountains.The Lord,has showen me the mountians,He,will move for me.And roll away the boulders that,block our pathway."To The Fountian Of Faith",in our "Lord Jesus Christ".If there's any life's ride to take.I will choose the faith train.To eternal life,blessing to all who have assisted me.On this fantastic highway of faith.
(Psalms 101:6 NIV)My eyes will be on the faithful in the land they may dwell with me;he whose work is blameless will minister to me.
I'm glad to be in service for the Lord

A good encouragement to keep the faith and to let it grow in our lives. I'll be praying for complete healing for you! - Jay Cookingham
"My faith has grown by leaps and bound..." I really like what your wrote. In our waiting and trusting in God, our faith does grow tremendously. I've seen mine grow in the past month as I wait patiently for Him to help my husband find full time work again. You've been a blessing!
