Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."  Deuteronomy 31:6  This is what we know.  We know that God is good, He is faithful, and He will never leave us.  But what can we say of ourselves in return.  I can recall that when life was not going my way, I used to get mad at God, my faith was shaken in God, I thought that He had let me down.  However, we know that God will not let us down.  It is impossible for God to lie, and so if we know that God will never leave or forsake us, then we know that He will always be with us no matter what we go through.   As people we are...

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have a guest post from Katelyn. She is sharing her heart on this month's theme faithfulness. You can learn more about Katelyn and her blog in her bio at the end of the post.  Recently I was asked, “How can you be so faithful to a book written so long ago? How can you have faith in a world full of hurt?” Well for once I had the perfect answer: It’s not about facts really, it is something that you realize through prayer. You don’t have faith first and then start praying. Just start praying and God will show you how to be faithful. My own faith journey is one I feel is worth sharing. Just like all the stories we read in the bible, Jesus found me in my darkest hour and showed me grace. Right before I got married to my wonderful husband I was in a very dark place personally. I had a god-shaped hole in my heart and I used every earthly indulgence to fill it. The way I was living was incredibly selfish and irresponsible. When I thi...

You can learn more about Meg and her blog on the about page.  Faithfulness. Something I think a lot of us think we have, but when it comes down to it, we might be found lacking. Lately, I’ve been studying James, specifically chapter 1, with the idea of wisdom and steadfastness and faithfulness. In verse 5 James tells us “if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. “ But let him ask in faith… Don’t we always ask in faith? Maybe not. I think sometimes we (I totally included) ask things that we think God should answer, but maybe hold on to knowing it probably won’t happen. That’s unfaithfulness. And like the ve...

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have our monthly contributor Victoria, she is sharing her heart on this month's theme Faithfulness. You can learn more about Victoria and her blog on the about page.  “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.”   1 Corinthians 15:10 We all know what it looks like when faithfulness fails. We’ve felt the pain of failed marriages, broken families, and friendships that have come to an end. These failures to be faithful are difficult and yet they show us something. They show us our great need for the grace of God.  Each time something or someone proves unfaithful, we can be reminded that God never fails at faithfulness. Each time we are unfaithful, we can be reminded that God is never unfaithful. These reminders are opportunities to help us continue to lean on Him, depend on H...
