Today will consist of meditating about the blessings and the lessons God has taught me this past year, FAITH.
The bible says that "without faith it is impossible to please God" (Hebrews 11:6), and yet, through out the hardships of life, we tend to loose faith because we feel a though God has forgotten about us. We loose faith because we can't understand why things happen. For a long period of time, our prayers only consist of a "Why God? Show me why."
So here I am...and this is what happened: God answered and said, "If I told you why, then you wouldn't be living by faith." That's faith, "faith is having confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see" (Hebrews 11:1). Faith is beleiving in something that can't be seen and yet, believing that God has already given us the victory.

Why is it that although we witnessed a miracle yesterday we don't hesitate to doubt when we face a problem today?
I witnessed a miracle in my personal life this year. God made an impossible dream come true. However, 2010 closes with a problem whose solution is beyond what I can do. I have no power over it, no control of it's outcome; all I can do is pray and keep the faith. So I write with conviction as I write this blog; believing that there is nothing impossible for my Lord.
So dear 2011,
I enter the year armed of faith. I enter the year prepared to witness a miracle once again.
Dear Jesus Christ,
I love you and I believe in your mighty power. Allow me to serve you with all I have, all I am, and take me to those that are hungry for your word. You know that my deepest desire is to be used by you.
I'M READY
