Hard Days

Though this is a life Lesa and I have chosen to live and we feel we are being obedient to what God has been asking us sometimes the days are still hard. Jesus never told us it would always be easy, in fact He said we would never be given more than we could handle. This essentially says we will go through the hard stuff but it will not be too much to walk as long as we walk with Him.

This being said and understood as truth, sometimes the days are just hard and we need God's strength to make it through. We are in such days and have been for a little while now as we have walked back into a life and community where we have not been for several years. We want to be obedient to all things God has laid down for us and this is our intent, along the way however things can begin to seem unbearable so we learn to trust in His faithfulness more each day and event.

Though we are walking through hard days and needing to see God's provision in so much right now (especially a home of our own), we are grateful for His love and care for us in the midst not just from a distance.

Adam & Eve chose to disobey choosing death over life, the serpent didn't lie about being like God when he spoke in the garden he twisted the truth of what had already taken place. They had been created in the image of God (being like God) and God being full of truth had given them the truth of life; he twisted the truth to making them believe God was holding out and not being honest. From that day forward we were given the option to obey or disobey, it is still our choice. Though we don't always understand, we choose to obey and walk in the truth we have been given.

God is faithful and though sometimes it feels we have no hope, the truth is He is our hope. If He cares for the sparrows and even the 5Th sparrow (this has more meaning being the 5Th) I can trust that He cares for us to.
