Knowing Change

Well... i think this just says it all. Sometimes we see the change clearly and we feel that we can change everything that has gone wrong. But we can't! It feels like a shame sometimes. But really it's a blessing. If we could change everything that we don't like, the world would be in chaos. People would wish that other people were dead. It would horrible.
Ok, Im pretty sure you all have heard it said, "everything happens for a reason". I feel that this is true, even though we can't see the goodness in it at the time, there is always a reason. Lets say that you go through a time in your life where you are major depressed, it will help you in life. You will be able to understand how others feel and be able to do something about it, rather than just trying to cheer them up.

I know this post was sort of a flop. I feel that what I get from this word picture is hard to describe here. I hope you all get something from it. :)

Reason for Worry?

 Ok, so I found this picture on Facebook. I thought, you know, that is true. I have had those times where I worry like non other about the hard times in life. When that we feel like we are going through a "living hell". Well, if that were true, that there was a "living hell" then that would mean you have no God with you. I say this because I personally believe that if you where in hell, God would not be there. So I ask you, the readers, have you really ever gone through a "living hell"? I know I haven't. YES there are times where I feel like the world is crashing down, and I feel like there is no God looking out for me. BUT he is. Because sometimes God works in ways we cannot see. And in the end of the hard times, we look back, and maybe, we only see the bad things, BUT if you think of all the good things, even the really little things, are God's work. Remember in hard times, look for the parts that God is in, Pray, and have Faith that he will carry you through.

Getting Started

Well, lately I have found myself not being able to have that devotion time In my daily activities. So I came up with the "fun" idea of having a "devotion blog" I am hoping to post a picture, either with words added to it, or just a meaningful picture and expand on it. I hope that you can benefit to it as well as me. Thanks! Also please leave comments to any of my posts telling me if there is type of devotion you need, such as friends, family, love, faith, etc.

Well This is the starting one, because well, the blog's name is "Faith in Faith". I have had it wear I step and it seems like the step isn't there, so I pull back and have to turn on the lights, even thought I clearly don't want to. It is like faith in God. Even though we can't see him, and can't see the future of what will happen, we need to follow him. Yes, sometimes we need help, even when we don't want to (like me not wanting to turn on the lights) but that helps us. God doesn't want us to be stranded, but he also doesn't want us to loose faith in him. I got the following quote off a different website

"Jesus says, "I want to put in your life... In fact, I want to make you a faithful fountain and we'll be able to handle any fire, any storm, any hurt, any disappointment. Oh, you'll still be able to preform even with first closing in around you because of two word." He says, "I will put the source in him.... that's inside of you." That's opposed to just being something around you."

Just ponder that.

Thanks! :)
