"Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading."
~ Oswald Chambers ~

Dear Friends ,

"For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever ye desire when ye pray. Believe that ye receive them , and ye shall have them." Mark 11:23, 24


"Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way...and the mountains quake..."Psalm 462-3


Over the years my family has faced moves across the country , obstacles and illness and each time we started to doubt.. is this the company we should work for , or move for?. Is this the area of the country that is best for us?

Being a native New Yorker and moving to California years ago was hard. I had to put my trust in the Lord that he knew better then me. With each move, corporate move, or major life decision once we got past the doubt and put our trust fully in the Lord to lead us we realized that it was best for our family. The Lord always provided us the best as well as answers. There were times we really wanted a particular place in the country, job or home, and when that certain wish didn't come through we had regrets or sadness. The Lord always protected us, led us the right way and provided why. We always saw later that we were rewarded for trusting him and that the particular job or house may have had problems beyond what we saw at the time.

At one time we lived on a mountain prone to earthquakes, they were always mild and we got use to them. When we had out of town visitors they would be fearful, we always had to explain to trust ,they were mild . We were even in a hotel once when we experienced an earthquake, that was off the richeter scale... pajama clad people were running in the lobby. It was a scary time as we tried to figure if we should stay or leave and the manager stood smiling with coffee and told everyone the building was built on rollers and would roll with the quake. "Trust" . Was all he simply said, to each worried person. This made me think of the Lord and all the time we need to have faith he is leading us and roll with the things life sends us for the Lord has went before us and knows what is best for each of us . Our job though is to have the faith to be led.
