Keep the faith

Today's blog will be written a bit later......I've got so much in my head and I definitely need to make sure I get everything down the way I want to....so keep the faith....it's coming! 

It may have come late, but today's blog posting has been repeating over and over in my head all day long. Perhaps it was the events of last evening that kept putting this term on instant replay all day. Keep the Faith. This is a reminder I think we all need to keep in our heads...every single day. Keep the Faith.

How easy it is to lose faith. Lose hope. Lose all sense of logic in our lives. It is very easy, especially when faced with the evils that haunt our thoughts each day. Keep the Faith.

Matthew 19:26 – “But Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’  With God, all things ARE possible. Lately, I've needed this reminder. I've needed the reminder to keep the faith. Isaiah 26:4 has also been a great reminder for me these past few days. "Trust in The Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock." Yes, he is our eternal rock. Our refuge in times of trial.

After nearly being hit head on, having a friend 'missing', and another friend dealing with the health issues of her sweet little boy, I needed the reminder to Keep the Faith. Throughout this Think Thankfully journey I am on, I've learned just how easy it is to be tempted, to be pushed to limits, to listen (and almost believe) the whispers of the devil as things start to go wrong in my life. BUT, I've also learned that my faith in God, my trust in Him, and my belief that He doesn't give us anything we can't handle will help me through anything.

Once again, in keeping with the idea of music moving me, the lyrics to Lady Antebellum's song Compass  keep running through my head. Tonight, I'd like to send this one out to my friend, Dana, who is dealing with some troubling times. I just want to remind her that when things are all said and done, she can walk instead of run and she'll NEVER be alone. I'm always right here....

Compass

Lady Antebellum

Yea it's been a bumpy road

Roller coasters high and low

Fill the tank and drive the car

Pedal fast, pedal hard

You won't have to go that far

You want to give up cause it's dark

We're really not that far apart

So let your heart sweetheart be your compass when you're lost

And you should follow it wherever it may go

When it's all said and done you can walk instead of run

'Cause no matter what you'll never be alone

Never be alone

Never be alone

Forgot directions on your way

Don't close your eyes don't be afraid

We might be crazy late at night

I can't wait til you arrive

Follow stars you'll be alright

You want to give up cause it's dark

We're really not that far apart

So let your heart sweetheart be your compass when you're lost

And you should follow it wherever it may go

When it's all said and done you can walk instead of run

'Cause no matter what you'll never be alone

Never be alone

Never be alone

You want to give up cause it's dark

We're really not that far apart

So let your heart sweetheart be your compass when you're lost

And you should follow it wherever it may go

When it's all said and done you can walk instead of run

'Cause no matter what you'll never be alone

Never be alone

Never be alone

When it's all said and done you can walk instead of run

'Cause no matter what you'll never be alone

Until tomorrow, my friends, let YOUR heart be your compass and your guide...

Think thankfully!
