Faith

What truly is faith? What is a good measure of faith? I have really started questioning if I would have (and outwardly exhibit) as much faith as the mothers of these beautiful children have, especially if I were going through the same circumstances with my baby.

As I have been following their blogs during the past weeks, their stories have really touched my heart. I only hope and pray that I would (and do) have as much faith and as strong of a relationship with God as they do. Oh what a testimony their stories are to the grace of God, as well as His wondrous powers and the peace and healing He can bring!

I still feel like I am trying to (re)build my relationship with God after I had strayed for a few years. However, I just cling to Him each day and know that He is with me.

On a lighter note, here is a video clip of Sweet T having some "Frosty Fun" on March 31.

It Was You

I think this song by 12 Stones definitely sums up my current thoughts and prayers (in a more lyrical manner than I can put them).

[Lyrics] 12 Stones – It Was You
[Listen]

It was You
That showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real

I was sick of all the pain
Tired of all the shame that I felt
But You showed me a way
To never have a doubt
And always to believe in myself
Now I see

It was You
That showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real

Now I'm breathin for the first time
And I'm leavin, all this behind
I've become, what I am because of You
It was You

I'm so sorry 'bout the ways
But I can't take away my past
But You love me anyway
And now I wanna do
Everything for You that I can
Even though it won't erase
The foolish things that I've done
Things that blinded me
But now I see

It was You
That showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real

Now I'm breathin for the first time
And I'm leavin, all this behind
And I stand
For what I know is real

So how can I make this up to You
I'll fight and I'll push and I'll strive
Now that I'm living my life for You
I'll fight and I'll push and I'll strive
Can't You see

It was You
That showed me who I am
And taught me how to stand
For what I know is real

Now I'm breathin for the first time
And I'm leavin, all this behind
I've become, what I am because of You

I can see the writing on the wall
As time begins to crawl away from me
And I've become what I am
Because of You
It was You
