Day 364: My faith

Hello again,
Well this is the second last post!!! I was thinking and I guess this is a pretty substantial blessing that I chose for today. In my last post titled "Almost There!!" I stated that I didn't have anything wonderful saved for the last 2 posts. But this is pretty wonderful.
Today I am thankful for my faith. I do believe that there is a God and I do pray. I know that there are friends of mine that do not believe there is a God and I respect their views but I also am grateful they don't mind me talking about my faith. I know that some don't understand how there can be a God when so much horrible stuff happens and I am afraid that I do not have the answers to that. But I feel that there has to be a reason for everything and that God can make something positive out of anything that happens. I know that God has the power to stop stuff but doesn't always and I don't know why but I trust that He has His reasons and He is in control and does not make mistakes. I suppose that is faith too. I have seen good come out of horrible circumstances though and I like to think that is God at work. My faith has helped me through a lot of stuff though. It has never ever been rosy and a lot of times I have questioned God and been mad at Him for stuff that happens to loved ones and myself but I also understand He has to know what He is doing-I'm just not happy about it and don't get it. I have witnessed things I can't really explain that prove that there is a God. I have seen stuff happen that in no way can be coincidence and there is definitely a higher power at work. I don't know if it is politically correct to admit my struggles with my faith or not but it doesn't matter to me. I am just being honest here. But all the bumps in the road so to speak have helped me to grow in my faith. It sounds odd but I do feel that way. Having faith has helped me through stuff. I also trust that God isn't there to always take away stuff or prevent it but to help us through it and not leave us to go through it alone. I love the footprints poem because it talks about God walking with us. Knowing I am not alone can be a comfort even while I go through hard stuff because I am not going through it alone. Anyways I should stop here I think. It is getting late. Thanks for reading my blog. :)
