Keep Walking




I don’t know how many of you have kids who watch Veggie Tales but when my boys were younger they LOVED it. Anyway, there is this song on an episode that says “keep walking” it is referring to Joshua walking around the walls of Jericho (it’s a super cute song). That phrase has been on my mind for a week now; faith is a journey and you can’t continue on a journey without walking.

This week was my first full week at home with no outside obligations and I must say it has been a blessed week. We have baked bread, baked cookies, played with new friends, attempted to use the big girl potty, cleaned out kitchen cabinets, cleaned out bookshelves and focused on keeping on overall tidy house! Nothing earth shattering I know, but this week the Lord has been teaching me to “keep walking” even though I do not know where the journey is taking me.

Some of you may be taking one step at a time by faith, not really knowing where all the steps are leading. That is kind of where I am right now in my Spiritual journey. I am excited, nervous, anxious, fearful, humbled and terribly inept at the thought of God using me for His purpose. Be that as it may, I am going to “keep walking” as the Lord leads and try to enjoy each step of the journey.

Hebrews 11:1
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

    Oh, Dawn, how well do I know and understand! I've been where you are many times, the biggest and most frightening one being when I left my teaching job to go into full-time writing. I felt so twisted and turned around, never knowing up from down and front from back. But that's been many years now, and God has always been faithful. There have been ups and downs, and I've cried a lot of tears. But I've also smiled a lot of smiles and felt a lot of peace. But the best part of all is that I've grown so much closer to my Savior during the past few years. It's been so exciting to be able to spend more time with Him and learn more about Him. I pray you will experience this for yourself!

Faith without Fear

This thought has been on my heart all week, faith without fear. How many times have you stepped out on faith and noticed the trembling inside as you shook with fear? Isn’t it a scary thing to obey the Lord and take that step of faith? Not knowing where God is sending you, how He is going to provide for you, if you are going to get that job offer, if He is going to heal you, if your loved one is going to accept Christ, what to do next… Couldn’t you just tremble with fear NOT knowing??                 Hebrews 11:23 “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.” I was reading Hebrews this week and when I read this verse, a light seemed to come on. I had never thought about faith that way, faith without the fear. As you know, this blog is all about my journey in faith but I wo...

Little Lessons in Faith

Last weekend, Jason and I had the privilege to go and work with a missionary who is beginning a church plant in the states. He has been a missionary for many years and has planted five churches in five countries throughout his ministry. I made a late decision in the week to travel with Jason so I really began the trip by scurrying around to make sure I had all I needed packed. We took Miss Addison with us and if you have a little one you know there are always a million things you can’t forget! As we start our journey very early Saturday morning I ask (for at least the fifth time) where we are to meet the missionary. My husband replies (for at the least the fifth time) “I don’t know honey, he said he would tell us when we get closer.” I smile and try not to stress, as I am planner and when a trip is involved I have it ALL planned weeks before! True to his word, about 30 minutes before our arrival we get a phone call with directions on where to meet. Now, we are heading his way and af...
