Stepping out in Faith

What does this mean, "Stepping out in faith"? This is something that you may have to define for yourself. However, I would like to guide you in finding what stepping out in faith means to you :)

I know that it seems funny for me to say that you may need to define this yourself. I am the one writing the blog right? Well, it isn't so much that this journey will be a solo mission as what stepping out may look like to you, well, it may look different to me.

A few years ago, I was a lost sheep. I followed the world. I followed what was "in" and thought more meant better. I was wrong. Wrong may actually be an understatement. I don't know if there is a word to suffice the degree at which I was wrong. I had to step out in faith. I had to step out of my comfort zone, without worry or care, and step out in faith.

If you have read any of my previous posts, you know I have been sick for just under two years. The doctors are clueless and that's ok. I know God is with me. This illness is what made me come back to God. Once I did, I started feeling better, was happier, was more content with life than I had ever been. Praise God for his healing!!!

After all of this, I realized, the way I was living my life was not glorifying God. It was not glorifying my husband or son. I was a horrible example to others. That is when I stepped out in faith. I stepped out of that box of my fleshly wants and raised my hands in glory of God.

Do you care what others think about you? Do you see someone with a "nicer" car, phone, home and get jealous? Do you see someone's husband do extravagant things for them and wonder why they get such special attention? It is time for you to step out in faith sister. I am going to make this into a series. I am currently working on how to go about it, but in the mean time, take that bold step out and be Not of This World.

God Bless and Keep Smilin'
