It Takes Time

            Some days when I come to sit and write I know exactly what has been going on in my life and exactly how my faith has changed my day.  Some days even when I try to write, I am uncertain about it.  Today is one of those days.  When it happens, it isn’t that God doesn’t have a hand in my life.  It isn’t that my day wasn’t productive and that I didn’t overcome challenges.  My problem is that I have lots of struggles and I am still feeling a little lost as I continue to work on them.

The funny thing about faith is it doesn’t start at the beginning of the day, everything works itself through during the day, and it doesn’t end at the end of the day.  It takes time to deal with matters of faith.  When I look back on my faith journey, I realize that there are some parts that I understood and took into my heart easily, but there were other parts that took years.  My best example is God’s Grace.  I took years to understand what God’s Grace really meant.  I will probably spend the rest of my life learning to accept His Grace, but that’s okay.  God accept me wherever I need to be on my journey.  I am so very thankful that God meets me wherever and whenever I am. 

My faith saved me.  May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
