Life in The Family International

Vas: These days I have been learning a bit about faith and I remember that before we opened this home the Lord told me I would need more faith and to concentrate on building my faith by reading more about the miracle working power of God as well as consciously relating the general word I read to my everyday life and letting it build my faith. I felt I could have done better before hand and although I did do a good bit of the above I have found myself lacking in faith and having a hard time casting my burden on the Lord. I usually like to do a job and finish it than relax, because it’s hard for me to enjoy myself when I am in the middle of something, and if I try to rest, a lot of times I’ll end up just thinking about the job that needs to be done and everything that is lacking, this is what has been happing to me lately. When I stop to take time with the Lord I end up getting flooded by thoughts and worries. I want everything to be solved before I can enjoy life but what the Lord is trying to teach me is to trust him and not let the fact that there is so much yet to be done with pioneering our home cause me anxiety and to enjoy the journey not just the destination. To do this I need to trust Him that he will do the miracles as I do my part and not let worrying about things take my energy when I need it to do what I can.
