Food for Thought

Proverbs 19:21 "Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand firm."

Walking by Faith

Wow, I am such a slacker..very sorry...anyways...here is what GOd taught me over the weekend:

I need to walk by faith and not by sight.

Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the assurance of the things hoped for, and the convictions of things not seen"

My mom and I went to Spokane Washington over the weekend to go see a friend and get a private dance lesson with him. Best decision I made, because he is a fantastic dancer and teacher. I learned a lot of useful things.

Anyways, our appointment was for 7pm and we had left at 8am thinking we were giving ourselves enough time. We didn't take into account that there would be a 2 hour wait at the border. On the way to Spokane (once we got past the border) we were thinking we weren't going to make it for 7pm. So I called the studio and switched my appointment with the couple that were going at 8.

We were listening to my iPod through a digital radio thing, but we were losing signal and I couldn't find a signal for it for about an hour, so I took it off and listened to the radio. We were surfing the channels when we came across a radio station and it was playing this song:

Walk by Faith- Jeremy Camp

Would I believe you when you would say
Your hand will guide my every way
Will I receive the words You say
Every moment of every day

(chorus)
Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Well because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me

Help me to win my endless fears
You've been so faithful for all my years
With one breath You make me new
Your grace covers all I do
yeah, yeah , yeah, yeah, yeah, ya

(chorus)
Well I'm broken- but I still see Your face
Well You've spoken- pouring Your words of grace

(chorus)x2
Well hallelujah, hallelu
(I will walk by faith)
Well hallelujah, hallelu
(I will walk by faith)

I will walk, I will walk, I will walk by faith
I will, I will, I will walk by faith

I looked up to heaven and said "very funny". God has a tendency to do that at the best moments. As we were worrying about whether we would be there on time, I was reminded to have faith. Have faith in God to get us there on time and have faith in God that everything would work out for the best.

Turns out we got there at 5:30. So we hung out at the hotel for about an hour, then went to Northgate Mall and shopped and then went to the studio to see Benji. We could have still got our lesson at 7, but we had already switched, so we decided to spend half and hour at the mall instead. But we were there for our 8pm appointment.

If we walk by faith, everything will work out and we don't have to worry about anything. Worrying doesn't get you anywhere.

Be Blessed! :)
