Journaling my walk in faith

Day 1
Have to admit that I feel great today, inside there is a sense that everything is going to be taken care of and for me not to worry.
Had a little problem today when it keeps being mentioned about my children being taken out of state.
Started talking to my children about the importance of having faith in God and to let him take care of all our problems.
There are five thoughts on my mind today which I will just put down as A, B, C, D, E and F. I will lleave them lettered as they are either people or other events in my life and I still need to maintain privacy. I did put them down on my computer so that I will remember  who they are or what the situation was at a later date.
On the way to taking my oldest son to the gym, I received a phone call that my two youngest children wanted to speak to me.
Inside the gym was talking to a person who works there about the school they were attending so I will put this as G.
I guess for now, the post will be written in this format as these are just some things that happened today that I could remember.
Day 2
Still trying to figure out how to write this blog but decided just to go with it..
Not bragging but I have to say that I feel confident in God today.
I heard on the radio a scripture that said"A man after God's heart will do his will no matter what". I kind of question that because how do you know if you are really after God's heart? For me, I think I;m after God's heart but I also realize that I'm just desperate not to loose my children.
The mother of my children asked again to let me allow the kids to leave to North Carolina.
We were arguing and I told her whatever happened that it was God's will. She just kind of mocked what I was saying. Sometimes I don't understand how people can be so blinded with what they want that they are willing to hurt those closest to them.
Was listening how God used a teenage boy for his glory  and that in our weakness he is strong.
Was funny because later in the day I was arguing with the mother of my children again and I just kept telling her that I had faith. Kind of made me mad when she responded about where my faith had gotten me. I mean I have lost everything and don't even have money to pay for gas.
Just kept thinking how Goliath mocked David and how God puts you in situations to build you up.  Was explaining to a friend on My Space about the journal I was doing about walking in faith.
Once again received a call from the mother of my children and this time she was talking about the father of my stepdaughter and how much child support he gives. I don't understand why she can't see what I once meant to her..
Went to the Garden of Eden to pray:
  • Trying to pray for God's will but also asking for my children not to leave.
  • Was wondering if I was acting like this out of desperation and not faith.
  • Felt like I have so many problems and nowhere to turn
  • Is this faith or wishful thinking?
  • For some reason I thought about a story of a disciple that was in prison and was happy. How could someone be in prison and be happy?
  • Rejoice in the Lord,,,always....
Sent out my daily text which is a text that I send to people:
  • God puts you in situations to build you into what he wants you to be. But you think you have it bad, imagine being a kid and made to fight a giant with a sling...now that is faith
Received a text back from Martin that said Everything works out for those who trust in the Lord...Romans 8
Funny because that is just what I needed at that moment. For some reason it uplifted my spirit and to be honest this was the first time that I have sent Martin a Text.......Funny how God works
