Faith and Hope

I read Elizabeth Foss's blog on how looking at her letters monthly on the mantle keeps her focused on her theme for the month. So I got Faith and Hope. Greg loosing his job, homeschooling through adversity of this year,me getting sick, and looking for a part-time job has put all my faith and hope in My Lord. He has brought us this far, he will bring us through it all again. Having faith and hope is easy when you life is going as planned. When the speed bumps come having faith becomes harder, but God draws you closer to Him. During those times are the times he carries us as I paraphrase from Footprints in the Sand. I realized this past year in 2008 was a time for change to come about. Change is on the horizon and I don't know we it is going to lead us. I have no doubt God has something in store for us. I finally realized it is time for me to freelance again. I stopped because life happened--getting married, having kids, homeschooling. Maybe now is the time to start again. Change always makes us grow closer to God. Change we are taking baby steps all over again. We will preserver wherever we are lead. God wants us to be evangelist and go out and spread the word of God. Maybe the change is occurring to be an evangelist for God. Whatever it is, it will be in the footsteps of God through Faith and Hope.
