Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips. They make other people good-natured. They also produce their own image on men’s souls, and a beautiful image it is. — Blaise Pascal

Decided I would Try doing this Blog thing.......

Well, don't know how this will turn out, but I've decided to start writing my own blog today.  Since I have learned a lot of things in the last few years about what is going in my body health wise, I have been doing a lot of living by "faith".  Hence, the title of my blog.

Without faith, it is impossible to please God according to Hebrews 11:6. For many years I tossed a lot of my God-given "faith" out the window due to hurts/circumstance of days gone by.  So glad that God never gives up on us!  He is merciful..Mercy triumphs over judgment. (James 2:13)  Thank you, Jesus, otherwise we would all be in trouble!  His Holy Spirit just keeps on "nudging" us to walk a certain path. Or it may be just a small, still voice telling us to do something.  Just get up and DO something!  Being faithful in the small "things".

So, am now back to walking by faith and not by sight consistently.  For our fight is not against flesh and blood but is spiritual.  (I Corinthians 10:4-5)  In the "natural" I am looking at circumstances that are very challenging right now.  But I choose not to look at the way the "world" looks at these circumstances.  Otherwise, I would be in hopelessness & despair!  Doctors would give me a bleak report, but GOD says something different in HIS WORD!

This is the Word that I am standing on for today!   My God is a Good God.  He doesn't put more on me than I can handle.  Peace that passes ALL understanding guards my heart and mind!  

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."   Jeremiah 29:11  NIV

Have a Blessed Day!
