Faith is one of those words used to explain something that we can’t see. It’s putting our trust in something without having proof of its existence. But it’s so much more than that! To have faith, we must have confidence that the unseen actually exists. We must be willing to give our full allegiance to it. We must use that faith to penetrate the walls of fear, hate, anger, sadness. Our hearts must be so consumed with faith that no other path will do. Faith is an obligation, but it’s also a free gift from the Holy Spirit. It’s ours to keep and as a result of it, good works will follow. Even they are not our own doing. Our good deeds are placed in us by the one who gave them to us. The very Spirit of God Himself. His love – His mercy – His patience – His compassion – His forgiveness Covers us – encourages us – takes us in His arm and comforts us. He bathes us in His righteousness and washes away all our iniquities.
My faith is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension.
I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog.
I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ.
My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.
I stand with you in faith–there have been times I’ve let the fear start to overtake me. And I’m going to continue to fight with faith. “On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.” I’m singing with you sweet Kathy. I love you. 🤍

I'm a retiree in his seventies. That may not be significant to many, since there is a bunch of us Baby Boomers around. However, in the year 2,000, when I received a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma, I expected to be dead in three to five years.
Amen!
