I Say

by

What is the quality of your life TODAY? Do you wish it were better, different, more, less of any one thing? What are your coping mechanisms?

God has a system in place for us to deal with life issues; FAITH. But, without faith, having never beleived in anything, how are we supposed to stretch out? How are we supposed to deal?

I remember once one of my children was sick, very, very sick. The doctor was stumped and didn’t have any answer for me. No, not a wrong answer, but NO answer. I literally did not know what to do. Yes, I prayed. Yes, I waited. And waited. And waited. The more time went on, the less favorable things looked. It was at that moment I realized something. If I fully stretch out on GOD I have nothing to lose, but if I don’t believe anything I have everything to lose. I chose God.

Why? Mainly because I didn’t trust myself. He said to trust Him, so I know already that my nothingness is just that, nothing. He’s in control and He knows things better, a lot better than I.

My daughter got well. She’s ten years old now and to this day her illness has never been explained. Even with a one week stay in the hospital and several tests being run, doctors still weren’t able to explain that 103 degree fever that this two week old child had. Yes, 103 degrees. All I can say is…….God.

What do you think?
