FAITH is... expecting God to accomplish miracles through insignificant ME with my five loaves and two fishes...
" FAITH is... resting in His love, His presence, His provision."
FAITH is... confidence in God's faithfulness to me in an uncertain world, on an uncharted course, toward an unknown future."
" Faith leads us beyond ourselves. It leads us directly to God."

A Heart Warmer
Tess was a eight years old when she heard her Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money.
Tess was a eight years old when she heard her Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money.
She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother with whispered desperation, "Only a miracle can save him now."
She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was busy talking to another man and couldn't be bothered by an eight year old at this moment.
"And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice.
"Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs."
The pharmacist's brother was a well dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?"
"I don't know." Tess replied with eyes filled with tears. "I just know he's really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money."
"How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago.
"One dollar and eleven cents." Tess answered. "And it's all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to."
"Well, what a coincidence." smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents - the exact price of a miracle for little brothers." He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her hand and said , "Take me to where you live.
That well dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong. a surgeon, specializing in neurosurgery.
"That surgery", her Mom whispered, "was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?"
Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost ... one dollar and eleven cents, plus the faith of a little child !!!
When I recall the blessings
God has scattered all along the way,
The unexpected little joys
That form the fiber of each day,
When I remember lovely things
That turn the greyest skies to blue,
A ray of sunlight seems to fall
Among the hills I wander through.
When my fumbling fingers find,
Despite all the wisdom and wit,
That many of the pieces of
Life's puzzle do not seem to fit,
He has a way of sorting out
The interlocking shapes for me,
Until the pattern falls in place,
Aligned in perfect symmetry.
And so it is forevermore,
And I must trust His guiding hand,
His wondrous ways that reach beyond
All I can hope to understand.
The instances of faith restored,
Of hope renewed and love received,
Are all that is required for one
Who has not seen and yet believed !

" Life Is Short, Eternity Isn't ! "
" Don't judge a life by one difficult season ! "
" Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."
" Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep."
" God knows you. He keeps your tears in a bottle. He knows your needs. He is always near you in times of trouble, sorrow, and pain."
" The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever."

" Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. " (Joshua J. Marine)
" God's love for us is not a love that always exempts us from trials, but rather, a love that always sees us through trials."
" Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

" Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
" But if we look forward to something we don't have yet, we must wait patiently and confidently."
" This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."
" Be glad and rejoice, because your reward is great in HEAVEN."
" Our citizenship is in HEAVEN, from which we also eagerly wait for
