I have been thinking a lot about FAITH this week.  Then, Wed. night, at Bible Study, a lady in my small group said something about walking by faith and not by sight and it pierced right into my heart.  That is what I needed to hear. 

I need to walk by faith when I feel like my children are doing poorly.  I will obey God...  work on being who He created ME to be (including disciplining my children the way HE requires) and leave the rest in HIS competent hands.  (Easier said then done, of course!)

I need to walk by faith when after 6 weeks of excercising like a maniac I have still not lost a SINGLE pound.  It still HAS to be good for me to eat right and excercise 6 days a week. 

I need to walk by faith when the Navy starts negotiating a move to Hawaii with us...  sounds scary and exciting and terrible and wonderful all at once. 

I need to walk by faith when my son looses his brand new eyeglasses and there really is not another $95 in the budget for a new pair.

I need to walk by faith when two sons need dental work and there is not another $240 in the budget.

I need to walk by faith when my dh says we need to pay for HSLDA before bringing any of the children who are being ps'd back to homeschool and there is not another $95 in the budget.

I need to walk by faith when my hypoglycemia is flaring and I KNOW that it is God's will for me to loose 30 lbs. and regain my health.

I need to walk by faith ever second of every minute of hour of every day of every year....

Sight just won't cut it here...  I need FAITH!
