Faith -or- Fear
"Faith makes things possible, not easy." - - unknown Having faith in my abilities is very important to me! I believe I can accomplish most anything I try, but it requires a lot of effort on my part. The bible verse sums it up by saying: "Faith Without Works Is Dead" there is more said on this topic James 2:14-26 for those interested in reading it. www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+2%3A14-26&version=NKJVI believe that my faith in God makes me stronger and more able to accomplish what I need to..... and when I need a helping hand to keep going, He will lift me up and show me what course I need to take. I don't think of God as being like a genie in a bottle and granting all my wishes. He gives me what I need, not all that I ask for.... There are days that I have small fears and worries, but I try never to let them have power over me. When I bring those fears into the light, I can sometimes see them clearer and fight them off myself. Other times I stop and say a prayer and ask what HIS will for me is on this chaos. There are no problems or situation that I can not face with God by my side. Peace on the journey, SG

Thanks SG, great share. I missed it earlier, I think I shared on an old one instead of starting a new one.
Glad everyone had a good day. We had a good meeting.

When I see tyhis chip I think of what Ron (Mr Duck) used to say..faith and fear chant live in the same time and place. That always helped me remember to replace my fears with faith and everything will be fine. It may not go like I hope but I will be OK.
