Welcome to A Journey Through Faith! I pray that you will find this blog very inspirational and motivational. The purpose of this blog is to share my own personal and real life experiences with God to others with the use of Biblically based solutions. It is my desire to share with you my own personal experiences involving a difficult marriage, domestic violence and domestic abuse (emotional, physical, spiritual, financial, mental and verbal), abandonment, parenthood, adult child and parent issues, rejection, and other ordinary life experiences that we all run into in one way or another here on earth. My goal is to minister to those in need from all walks of life. I want to help others become restored and made whole again by renewing their faith in God. The tools that I use to minister to others is through songs of praise in words of psalms, poems, columns, personal testimonies, devotions, prayers and scriptures. I am hoping that by sharing my life as an open book, in some way it will inspire everyone to reach for a higher, deeper and more intimate relationship with our Almighty God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I want all of you to walk by faith and not by sight! (2 Corinthians 5:7) I want every believer to wear the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) without fear and walk boldly in the knowledge of who they are in Christ! We are children of the most High God and because we are His children, He wants a relationship with us. Contrary to what other faiths and religions preach, He is not harsh, contradicting, or passive. Society (television, talk shows, celebrities, etc.) have painted a very poor picture of who Jehovah really is. They are not giving a true account of His character. About Minister Faith From my own personal struggles with life, I discovered the power of living victoriously through Christ by applying God’s Word to my life and desires to help others through my writing. I believe in writing ope

After giving birth to our eldest daughter in 2004, my husband and I began to struggle badly with our finances. I was a graduate student and he was a first year nursing student. At that time we were both working full-time outside of the home. Since we were living near my relatives, we were under the assumption that we would be able to continue the same rigorous schedule with some assistance in babysitting. When that didn’t work out, we looked into day care but realized that we were unable to afford it. After long periods of discussion and prayer, it was brought to our attention that I had to become a full-time mom. A year after working in the home, our finances became extremely tight and I took it upon myself to return to the workforce. As soon as I did things only got worse due to a conflict with our schedules. It was obvious that I had no other choice but to return to my place as a full-time mom.
A few months after leaving the workforce we had to file for bankruptcy. It was a very painful decision, but after spending time with God we realized that as long as we continued to make our priorities God’s priorities he would bless us with a perpetual harvest. It is difficult to see God’s plan when you are going through a storm, but when we continue to give our time, money and talents during those difficult periods, God will honor that with a great harvest. It is during these times that our faith in him is put to the test.
Prayer: Father, I am a sower in your Kingdom. Please bring me a seed.
Putting It All Together: Form a habit of sowing a seed out of faith even when you do not have it.
