Faith

A couple of weeks ago John and I were talking about establishing some goals. Neither one of us could really come up with anything. We just both know that we are tired of being in the "rut" that were in (the always working, living pay check to pay check rut, never feeling like we can get ahead rut) and we want to work towards getting out of that rut. We are both thankful that we are employed,(although we find ourselves asking the question"Is this really what I was meant to do?) have health insurance, food on the table and a home to live in, but it just feels as though something(s) is missing and we need to find what that something(s) is.
Life seems to be somewhat of a mystery. Never knowing what lies ahead. We seem to be living in very uncertain times, thus making life more of a mystery. The road our Government and our President are taking us down isn't a pleasant one and has me very worried about our future and our children's future.
We often find ourselves asking the question "Why us?" We have been through a lot. Our children have been through more than most children, but through faith, prayer, determination (and I must admit, lots of STRESS) we always seem to make it through the trials that are presented to us. As 2009 comes to an end and 2010 lies ahead of us we need to have FAITH.

Faith in knowing that what lies ahead of us will make us stronger(Heavenly Father has a way of not giving us more than we can handle).

Faith that everthing will somehow work out and be ok.

Increasing our Faith (both personally and in our children).

Realizing that although the world around us is hectic, uncertain, and at times upsetting, our Faith is what keeps us strong and keeps us going.

And last but not least, having the faith to make goals and achieve those goals. Wish us luck.....

Happy New Year. Wishing you the best in 2010.
