Gotta have faith

After much encouragement, I am taking the "30 day challenge"...the blog challenge that is. I am not going to promise I will blog EVERY SINGLE DAY because I'm not sure I can be all that interesting each and every day. But, I'll give it a go!

Yesterday was Easter Sunday. I was on my own for the day, so I visited a small local church before heading off to spend the remainder of the day with my 3 grown children and their dad (my ex...that's another story). I believe we often end up where we are supposed to be and that was my take-away from my visit to this particular church. The quote I wrote down, which may just become my 'motto' of sorts is this: I believe God will do what's right concerning me.

I have no doubt that God can do all things, but my doubt lies more in the "will He" do something I prayed for. God is God, and I am not. Therefore, in order to truly trust Him in all things, I must believe that He WILL do what's right concerning me. This gives me great comfort. A simple phrase for sure, but one that speaks volumes to me. I'm gonna write it everywhere my face often gazes at (the mirror is NOT one of those places people)! Most often it is the computer screen or alas, the TV these days. Nope, I'll refrain from putting it there. I'd be sure to receive a most quizzical look from the spouse. Thank goodness the refrigerator isn't one of them either...ok, most days.

I am calling this blog "Bumps in the Road" because that is what I believe this particular season is in my life...a bump in the road. Feels like a mountain to me most days, but in the big picture I know I'll look back and realize it was a bump. We all have 'em. I may just ask you to share some of yours with me and how they turned out for you. I can't wait to look back and reflect on what particular 'season' is next for me...I'm anxious for the 'winter' to be over.

I once wrote a poem and I recite it to myself from time to time:

There is no rhyme or reason
There is no asking why.
The mysteries of life
aren't revealed until we die.
So walk the narrow pathway,
you'll stumble as you go.
Faith says the Guiding Hand
is more loving than you know.

To us, many things make no sense at all. God has a purpose and a plan for all of us. Just trust that He will do what's right concerning you too my friends.
