In what way are you strong?
My faith life is strong. I don’t think I can attribute that to my
strength though. Throughout my life, I
have always loved God. I came from a
good family, but we never went to church as a family. When I was little, the church bus took me to
the Church of God, or I went to the the Catholic Church with friends. I always had a ride. God did that. Not me.
During college, I failed to go to church very
often. The first year, I didn’t have a
car to get me off of campus. I also
didn’t look for a ride. After that, I
was so busy with three jobs trying to pay for college that I still didn’t make
it very often. I did find time to get
married in my church and be blessed by my husband’s Catholic Church. About a year later, I became Catholic. Even being sporadic in attendance, I never
lost my faith. Thank you, Dear Lord.
As an adult, as all adults have happen, there
have been many trials in life. I have
gotten mad at God many times. I get a
little demanding with Him. I never
demand for him to fix my life. Instead,
I ask him to fix my attitude. He must
laugh at me a lot. But he always helps
me feel better. He always give me
strength or carries me through. I am
also blessed by the people he puts in my life to help me.
I am always marveling at the faith he has
instilled in me. I often wonder, why me? Why is my faith so strong when others
struggle? I have no answers, but I am
truly thankful. So, yes, I am strong in
faith, but God is the power behind it.
