Living by Faith

Good morning! I was going to try and sleep in but I had a run in with a coyote yesterday morning. It was right outside my side door and it was after a couple of my chickens. I am going to be on the watch today. Ahhh life on the farm. Always a surprise.

So I don't want to go all spiritual on you but I really feel like I need to share that part of my life. It is after all the number one reason I live like I do.  Being a believer in Christ and putting your heart and soul into that belief is one of the most calming yet confusing things I have done.  I am not a big reader so I don't read the bible anywhere near what I should. Right now I am not even going to church on any kind of regular basis. But my heart lives by the fact that there is a God and He loves me. That one simple thing is what makes me feel safe and at peace with my disease. I often wonder what people do when they don't have Jesus in their life. Where do they turn for comfort?

Don't get me wrong. I still have thoughts like "why me" or "I can't take this anymore". But they usually only are there for a moment and then I remember who is watching over me and has a plan for me and then I am good again.

Being a Christian doesn't mean your life is easy. It is actually one of the hardest things you will experience. God doesn't hand you things on a plate. You have choices and decisions to make. But when you pray and focus on God the choices and decisions become so much more clear. For me anyway.

If you do not believe in God I suggest you look into it. There is a lot to learn and it does get confusing. But the rewards are amazing. Well I guess that is enough on that at least for now. I will mention my faith from time to time because without it I wouldn't even be writing this blog. Have a great day !!!!!
