Faith like a Child

Faith: confidence or trust in a person or thing, belief that is not based on proof, Belief in God, (according to Dictionary.com)

I think that pretty much covers it all. But what does Faith look like in Practice?? Well I can say that I can show you examples in others lives but this is still an area in my life that I work on every day. Thankfully the Lord is good and it is the one thing that in South Africa I find I need to have every day here. I am thousand miles away from the world I know, the people I know, and the life I knew. Things are different here and the challenges I face require me to have faith. One of the biggest obstacles is silly but hard, is the fact that our Wifi is not unlimited. Here in South Africa you have to pay for WiFi and even after you have it, it can be very slow and unreliable. So even the times I have been able to talk to family or Skype, connections have been lost and patience is required. To add to that whole situation, the other day I dropped, accidentally, my Iphone down the toilet!!! I stuck it immediately into rice, but alas, it stopped working. Right now I have some one who is trying to dry it out for me but there is no guarantee that it will work again. As of now, that is my only way of contact to my family.. and my faith is being tested as I wait the diagnosis of my phone. I know the Lord is good and I am practicing rejoicing in his goodness to me while remembering that even if my phone is not fixed God is still good and he will provide.

Being around these babies, show me faith everyday. These kids have faith in us.. They trust us no matter what. No matter if we accidentally hurt them or we don't feed them right away; these kids still have an unwavering and innocent faith in us. This is the kind of faith Christ calls us to have in him!!! An unwavering faith in his goodness and his love! There is no place for being a bitter old lady in the Kingdom of God. Because no matter what has happened in our lives to hurt us or cause us to not trust easily, We are called to faith in Christ no matter what!! like the little children..
Because GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME
