Faith grows even as time flies...

I must start by saying that I hate to come up with titles. They always seem sooooo cheesy! As cheesy as it is, I hope it sums this blog up okay. Anyway, it's been awhile but I have formulated many blogs in my mind, I just haven't had the time to actually type them. Life seems to get busier and time really seems to fly with each passing second. I can't really complain, though. Life is going pretty good right now.

We recently got rid of our DirectTV (which I loved), so that's been an adjustment. We will be able to get local channels and such, when we get a converter box and the required cables but again, time... and money (or lack there of). Again, I can't really complain too much. This has given us more time with the boys and each other. Also, we haven finally gotten our money's worth out of our Netflix subscription.

With the tv-free time, I've been able to read a little bit more. I'm currently in the middle of the book of Daniel (in the Bible, of course) and also, When Christ Comes by Max Lucado. The man speaks on my level. Both of these have spoken to my heart so much. The faith and trust that Daniel had, as well as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. From the three men being thrown into the fiery furnance and Daniel into the lion's den, they trusted God and his will. I often feel as if I don't have enough faith. I can't imagine having enough to face hungry lions but them I'm reminded of this verse:

He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." ~Matthew 17:20


So, I pray and have faith that my faith will continue to grow. And isn't it awesome to know that Jesus prays for us.

Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. ~Romans 8:34
