As a little twist on my quiet times, I want to share once in a while encouraging words or scriptures from my journal based on different themes. Here is the first theme:

FAITHFUL PROMISES

"Great faith isn't the ability to believe long and far into the misty future. It's simply taking God at His word and taking the next step." by Joni E. Tada

"God takes care of His own. He knows our needs. He anticipates our crises. He is moved by our weaknesses. He stands ready to come to our rescue. And at just the right moment He steps in and proves Himself as our faithful heavenly Father."  by Charles  Swindoll

"Faith goes up the stairs that love has made and looks out the window which hope has opened." by Charles H. Spurgeon

"Let us draw near to God...Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:22-23 NIV 

It's true about God's faithfulness as my life spells each of those words: FAITHFULNESS. I could not have this amazing life(not even a chance) if I would not have chosen to live by faith in all the most important decisions of my life. Even in the ones, that built lots of controversy, because FAITH is truly taking a step based on trusting God's word!
I hope my precious baby will have more FAITH than my husband and I combined! The main lesson I want to teach my child is that life without FAITH is like not living at all.......are you ready to take a leap of faith????
