I still believe

I still believe that God is good.

But I still know that life is hard.

I still believe in the sanctity of marriage.

But I know that some seasons in marriage are difficult.

I still believe God can break generational sins.

But I know it takes a whole hell of a lot of work.

I still believe that God has big plans for me (and the kids).

But I know I have to be patient and endure and grow.

I still believe that one of our greatest duties as Believers is to be an advocate for the hurting and brokenhearted.

But I know that can be harder said than done.

I still believe that men can be honorable and do good for their family without needing fanfare.

But I know that honor is often overlooked in our society.

I still believe in miracles.

But that doesn’t mean God will always intervene and do what we want Him to.

I still believe in the power of prayer.

But I also believe in personal responsibility and being obedience to His voice.

I still believe that Jesus’ words, “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. “

But yet I also know of wonderful friends and family who have loved my babies and me endlessly.

I still believe that a cure for cancer is possible.

But I know that God is still good even if He chooses not to.

I still believe that mommies and daddies can stay together forever.

But I believe that takes both to live out “feet washing” on a daily basis, and even more so when no one is watching.

I still believe that living a life of honesty, kindness, and  integrity   is what Jesus calls me to.

But I also know that those 3 things are difficult to do and live out on a day to day basis.

I choose to still Believe.
