As
I was reading my scriptures this AM seeking some answers this is what I
got to write in the newsletter.
What is my
Faith? How have I managed to keep on going and believing that there is
a reason for all the sorrow I have felt and witnessed.
I have had
faith since I was a little girl; it has come from being guided to strangers
who have given me tools to seek out the answers God provides if we know
where to look. Sometimes we just do not "Listen, or Seek."
I believe that
trials and tribulations come so that we may seek the Lord with great yearning
to know the "truth".
It is during
our most troubled times that we seek God. Jesus went to Gethsemane with
His soul exceedingly sorrowful, even unto death. "Matt 26:38"
When we say
" God you do not understand", who understands better? The Father of Jesus.
Have we who
have lost children not experienced this pain as did Jesus and His Father?
I have lost two sons. Michael D. Randall age 21, to suicide. And
Jonathon J. Randall age 32, to a "Highway WorkZone Accident".
Asking why?
And how have I maintained my Faith. My answer is "GOD giveth and GOD taketh
away" And that is where "Faith comes in."
Faith to know
that is we follow God's divine plan with our eyes and hearts going forward,
knowing that the Spirit is strong in our hearts and mind, then we will
be strengthened by our heavenly Father. So it is written and so it is.
