If you have faith as big as a mustard seed, you can move mountains (Matthew 17:20) or mulberry trees (Luke 17:6). Faith is believing in something you cannot see, but know is real.
My faith has been tested many times throughout my life, and the more it is tested, the more I know that God is not only real, but cares about even the smallest details of my life.
A few weeks ago, my husband told me that I have enough faith for both of us. He meant it as a compliment, but on the other hand, it makes me sad. I want the world to know what an awesome God we have, and to have faith that can move mountains and mulberry trees.
As miracles unfold before my eyes, I am convinced more than ever that God has a plan. Our job really is simply to get to know Him and recognize His voice, and follow His lead.
I am learning that, the bigger our dreams, the bigger the opportunity we give to God to work miracles in our lives. I’ve always been a dreamer – I love thinking of possibilities – and I see treasure where others see trash.
The feature image is a screen shot of an on-line spiritual gift test I took a few years ago. Though I wasn’t surprised about Faith and Leadership, I must admit, I was a bit surprised by “Pastoring” being my number 3. I’ve never thought of myself as a pastor, however, I have a unique opportunity to coach people, both through my day-job as a manager, and in my hobby-job as a piano teacher. It is my sincerest desire that people come to know Jesus as their friend…. so I guess that means “pastoring” to some degree.
It’s an awesome responsibility, and an awesome opportunity all at the same time.
I’ve asked you all to join me in praying for a really big miracle – and I’d like to ask you to keep praying.
If you have ordered the book, Masquerade, I want to thank you very much for your support! If you haven’t yet, I’d like to encourage you to do so – it’s a story about a spiritual battle faced by a career driven mother of 3. It’s not a fairy tale story, but one of hope during dark times.
