#schoolskipday #disneyworld worth it! Such a special night! Have fun Addie & Mauro! #prom2017 And while we were out looking at the hailstorm, our dog ate our dinner 😂 #naughtypuppy #Luna It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! #texashailstorm #atx WHAT IS FAITH AND HOW DO I GET MORE? I want to live like Jesus. I hope that I willingly surrender in order to seek Him more. I wish I didn't crave the things of this world. But I have a problem. There is a war going on inside. I cannot figure out how to manipulate God to give me exactly what I want and when I want it. And if I'm going to live the kind of life that is pleasing to God...then I need a heart transplant. I am going to need more faith. Bucket loads of it. Which, by the way, is sold out on Amazon and the world’s knock-off version doesn’t quite satisfy. We often get stuck right here. We can feel the tension rising inside. We think we want more faith, yet we act like it is in short supply. Which begs the question, “What is faith?” and “How do I get more?” Hebrews 11:1 says, “Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see” (NLT). Unfortunately, many of us have mistaken belief for faith because we’ve been disappointed with the results of our prayers. We think faith is something we can muster up. We try harder. We pray longer. Faith differs from belief. We can believe a lot of different things. Some right. Some wrong. We can be persuaded. We can change our mind. We can back up our reasoning with theories and explanations. But if we are not careful, we can apply the same technique to God. We can cut and paste Scripture in an effort to get God to perform. This is not authentic faith. Real faith has only one focus: GOD. Mark 11:22 exhorts us to, “Have faith in God.” And it becomes challenging for us to place our hopes, our dreams, and desires in the hands of an unseen God. We fear His plans will not align with ours. His will may be contrary to our own. Our safe, comfortable, and predictable life may be rattled. But when we finally step out and take a leap of faith and discover that God is real, we are changed. And this is my pray for each of us…that we be changed more and more in order to live a life that brings glory to God. God is God. He knows what He is doing. Our prayers release God’s power for God’s purposes. Read more www.sueaallen.com. We made it all the way to L.A. & back and only missed 1 class. Woohoo! #funroadtrip
