Don't just have faith....BELIEVE !!!

It's been several days since I've posted but I have been trying to find the right thing to blog about. Today, it was given to me. 

I mentioned this in a previous post but this seems to be the topic surrounding me a lot lately. It seems like every sermon, Bible study conversation, etc seems to lead back to this...don't just have faith but BELIEVE it will happen. I think it's probably God trying to speak to me, hoping one day it will just click and I'll get it. :) For me it's a constant struggle with not becoming pregnant. It's hard not to think about it constantly! I'm trying though...very hard actually. I know I should give it all to God but not thinking about it is just not possible. I guess nothing is impossible but try not thinking about something you want so badly. IT'S HARD! 

I have been to a few different churches here and hadn't found one that felt right. A few months ago, I decided to try a new church. I felt so welcomed and loved the praise and worship and the sermon was great!!! When you go to a church and you get goosebumps during every service (not from being cold), stay there!!! I do believe I've found my home church!!! So, with this being said....the past few sermons have been about having faith AND believing, letting go of your struggles and giving to God and they have mentioned in some way or form, getting pregnant, adding to your family, etc in each one of those sermons. I'm telling you...I think God is trying to tell me something!! Today, the pastor's wife had us do something that just lifted a weight off of my shoulders. I've never pictured it this way and it just felt amazing to let it go. I can't say it's not still going to be in my mind but I'm going to try my best. I'm giving it to God. Here's what she said and had us do. She said whatever is in the front of your mind that you need to let go of and give to God, put it in your hand and lift it up to HIM, giving it to HIM. Wow! I got chill bumps and immediately began to tear up. I felt like a weight lifted off of me. I was amazed!! 

I challenge you to do the same. Don't just think about it. Do it! Place your struggles in your hand and raise it up to God. He'll take it.
