Faith

We are learning about Faith in our KidsWorship and Kids' Community groups this month.  I love teaching the children.  God has taught me so much through the lessons as I prepare each week.  Maybe that means I'm simple minded, I don't know, but He really does reveal new truths to me with each lesson.  Today we talked about believing in something we can't see.  It's true that we can believe in God, not because we see Him, but we see evidence of Him everywhere.  We see Him in the Creation and how He works in our lives.  Someone can argue theology all day,  but one thing you can't argue with me about is what He has done in my life.  I know He is real because I know that I know that I know that He has changed my life and He's still working on me.  It's awesome to know without a doubt that He has plans for me and His promises are true.  I can know this because of what He has already done.  Today was my Great Aunt Betty's funeral.  She was walking in her yard Thursday morning and a tree limb fell on her and she died.  Seriously, that's exactly what happened.  It just makes me think that God  wanted her right then and it was His timing and no matter where she was or what she was doing, He was ready for her.  He is in control and we can know that He has it all planned out- He sees the big picture.   Those of you who know me very well know that I'm a big ole' scaredy cat when it comes to storms.  Since the tornadoes, I have looked at every Safe Shelter website I can find.  I want one so bad!  When this happened to Aunt Betty, I realized that she was just walking in her yard and when God was ready she went!  Why do I worry so much about the weather when my Father is the controller of it?  When He is ready for me, I will go.  I must say, I'm pretty excited about that day- so why am I so scared of storms????   Where is my faith?
