Test of Faith

For those of you that don’t know, my wife and I are 9 weeks and 2 days pregnant right now.

Watching our little grow one day by day has been amazing. It’s really given me a sense of how awesome God is and how precious life is.

But as amazing as it’s been, every day has also been a test of faith – faith that things will turn out okay, that nothing will go wrong, that the baby will be strong and healthy. Everyday, it’s a struggle, because we’re human and negative thoughts can creep into our minds without us even recognizing it.

But God has told us to be anxious for nothing, that in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, we should let our requests be made known to Him (Philippians 4:6). So that’s what we’ve done. Every night (or at least most nights), we’ve prayed for our little one. And we know that everything will turn out fine.

That’s what God wants us to do with everything. Submit our requests to him and then rest assured that everything will turn out fine.

Remember, He loves you too much to see you fail.

God bless,
J.W.

A Man's Gift

"A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men." ~ Proverbs 18:16

Despite the millions and millions of dollars that some people have, God has given His people something worth much more. Our gifts have the ability to open doors for us that no man can close and close doors that no man can open (Isaiah 22:22). So do not be discouraged by what you see around you, or the lack thereof. God has already given you everything you need to do what He's called you to do. All you have to do is walk in it.

God bless,
J.W.
