Hello! What a beautiful day and it is good to be home! Pat went to the Home and Garden show at Will Rogers. Clear Choice has a booth there this weekend. It is the season for home shows, but this will be our last one until the fall.
I have a lot of work to do, so I stayed home and played catch up. It is nice sometimes when you know that you will not be leaving the house anytime during the day. I was so excited to get our dinner delivered to our door as we now have a Pizza Hut in Rendon! I told the delivery girl how exciting it was to be able to get my favorite pizza delivered to my door and not have to drive clear across town. What a celebration! I don't know if she cared really!
I love Oswald Chambers and I was reading his devotional, My Utmost for His Highest. Today's devotional talked about Abraham's Life of Faith.
"He went out, not knowing where he was going" (Hebrews 11:8). Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led. But it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of faith, not of understanding and reason--a life of knowing Him who calls us to go. Faith is rooted in the knowledge of a Person, and of the biggest traps we fall into is the belief that if we have faith, God will surely lead us to success in the world.
A life of faith is not a life of one glorious mountaintop experience after another, like soaring on eagles' wings, but is a life of day-in and day-out consistency; a life of walking without fainting (Isaiah 40:31).
God keeps telling me to trust Him. I want to trust him and looking back in the trials in my life, He has never failed me...not once. I know God just shakes his head and thinks "one day, Paige, maybe you'll get this right." My emotions are up and down literally like a roller coaster each day and sometimes this journey is so surreal and it is hard to take it all in. But there is one thing that I have been wrestling with and that is the definition of my faith. How do I see it? How do I visualize it in my mind? I need to know what faith looks like whether I am full of peace and joy or whether I am panicked or fearful. I know my desire. I desire for my faith to be stronger and waiver less. I take comfort in knowing that He is the controller of all things and all things go through His hands. He is taking care of me and I shouldn't be afraid of anything, although I am.
So, I am still wrestling and still seeking God's face for His guidance, comfort and most of all His peace. I have found that if I have peace, it changes my inner turmoil. I am sure my definition of faith will change in the days to come. Meanwhile, I am chasing after the leader.
Hope you have a great Sunday...my favorite day of the week. I am looking forward to worshiping Him tomorrow!
Hugs!
Paige
