Faith is not something that comes easy to me. I don’t think it is something that comes easy to anyone! The past 9 months have been the most difficult Gary and I have gone through together. (That story will come later! Believe me, you will be encouraged!) But through it all, even when we didn’t see any light at the end of the tunnel, the Lord has been faithful! Even though I have seen Him work and provide for my family countless times these past months, I still struggle with my faith.
My struggle started when I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 1995. Since then I have been praying for healing. The church I attending through high school had a bit of a revival of sorts and many times, I felt I needed to take a step and go off my insulin. My sugar would go up and I knew that the time for healing was not then. As a kid, its a bit crushing when you expect something to happen and it doesn’t. “When the Lord Closes a Door, Somewhere He Opens a Window.” This saying is so cliché but I really believe it! If it was the Lord’s will then he would allow me to move on it whatever it was. If it wasn’t then I believed the Lord would shut the door and he would show me what the next step was. He has done this for me and my family time and time again!
Its very easy to get down and out when you don’t see an end to your struggle. Keep trusting. Keep believing. Keep having faith! Things will change and an answer will come. Remember, the Lord works in his time, not in ours.
