That's What Faith Can Do...

"I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
 Hope that doesn’t ever end
 Even when the sky is falling
 I’ve seen miracles just happen
 Silent prayers get answered
 Broken hearts become brand new
 That’s what faith can do"

God's teaching me about Faith this week... cuz I've asked Him why, why not, when, how soon, where and every question that you can ask.  He's teaching my family about faith as well.  For what reason we don't know just yet- but I know that He will reveal Himself in the end. 
I've got a lot of stories to share and a lot of songs that go along with them.. because that's how God speaks to me- He always has.. maybe that's why I love music so much.  I find so much joy and comfort in it- because I find God there. 

So, this week in particular I have been struggling with feeling like God wasn't here with me in the midst of my storm.  I pray, and pray and pray... more like beg, and beg and beg.. for my child and I get frustrated and sometimes even mad that God hasn't said Ok.. and BAM.. it's fixed.  So, I asked Him.. SHOW ME.
I need to know that You are here.  Please.

As I turned on some music the other day, I turned my Ipod on shuffle and the second song that came on was " I Believe In Love" by Barlow Girl.  God hit me in the face.   HERE I AM.

"I Believe In Love"
How long will my prayers seem unanswered?
Is there still faith in me to reach the end?
I'm feeling doubt I'm losing faith
But giving up would cost me everything
So I'll stand in the pain and silence
And I'll speak to the dark night

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining
I believe in love even when I don't feel it
And I believe in God even when He is silent
And I, I believe

Though I can't see my stories ending
That doesn't mean the dark night has no end
It's only here that I find faith
And learn to trust the one who writes my days
So I'll stand in the pain and silence
And I'll speak to the dark night

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining
I believe in love even when I don't feel it
And I believe in God even when He is silent
And I, I believe
No dark can consume Light
No death greater than this life
We are not forgotten
Hope is found when we say
Even when He is silent

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining
I believe in love even when I don't feel it
And I believe in God even when He is silent
And I, I believe.

So, ok.. I'm listening God!!  Not only has He just told me that He's still here with me and that He's in control.. he sent Angels in the form of my husband and a couple of friends to encourage me. But, wait, God's not done yet!  Sunday before I went to bed, even tho I was so tired I almost couldn't sit up.. God was nudging for me to get into the word.. so I did.  And I asked Him to show me where He wanted me.. so, I closed my eyes and opened my Bible.  I opened up to Daniel.  The last two sentances of the synopsis reads " Daniels life is a picture of the triumph of faith.  May God grant us this type of faith so that we may also live couragelously each day."
WOW... God just keeps reminding me... that He loves me and that He's always with me.
SO.. I'm gonna walk by FAITH and not by SIGHT... you have brought us through sooo much before.. this is nothing.  I just need to wait on YOU!
