Abiding Faith

Four years ago, I started this blog, to help me through my Catholic homeschooling journey. Now as I sit and look at the blog what it went from to what it is now it is a journey of Abiding Faith. Having faith in trusting in God and carrying the crosses that come during your journey walk is hard at times. I recently read an article in believing and trusting in God's Will.She said that sometimes trusting in God is praying with despair in your heart. I can relate to that. When you are not walking through the dark valleys in life, you can surely say it--I abide in faith. It is harder when the pits of despair created by a job loss, losing everything you worked so hard to have are about to be taking away from you. Than is when it is harder to pray and have that abiding faith. Right now as we are in that dark valley, I am doing my best to pray with abiding faith. Believe when you are carrying that cross Satan is at your back trying to get you to drop it.
I believe constant prayer does get you through it all. My deep faith has always gotten me through the toughest times in my life. This walk is no different than the rest, but with each cross comes new ardent challenges that sometimes are hard to conquer. That is the time I re-read the footprints poem in my head--God is carrying me through this time. Recently I was driving home from church and heard this song, called I am waiting by John Waller. God knows when we need to hear the messages we need to hear, that is what an awesome and Amazing God we have. Abiding Faith is a journey of having waiting faith, in God's time, in God's will/ God Bless you all!

Praising Him Joyfully,
