are you tossed around or are you anchored down?

... he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. James 1:6

why would I want to be like a wave of the sea being tossed by the wind? well actually i would like to be in the sea right now but that is not what James was writing about. He is saying to me: believing is not just it.. you should not doubt. doubting will get your blown around which would lead to testing your faith and your and condidence in our heavenly father.

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. (vs.12)

I realize that we can not really know the depth of our character until we see how we react to trials or temptation. During these times I pray that with the Lords help I can see opportunities for growth. I pray that I can see my character is pleasing to the Lord. It is easy to get discouraged and frustrated during times of... what ever life brings us each day.. but glory to God we are not in this journey alone.

Today I bow at his feet asking heaven to come down and rain on me. Take me and strength my faith so I am not blowing in the wind. Blessed be to God!

i love all yall and remember....we will be home in 3 1/2 months : )
