Simply put, this life is not about us....it is about Him and discovering His purpose for us.
I have been very saddened lately for those people in my life who experience life without Faith. Without my faith in God and in His plan, there would seriously be days where I probably could not go on. If I was living just for myself then it would be so easy to focus on all the bad stuff, big or small, but what a miserable life that would be. Instead, recently I have chosen to look at my life as a small piece to His master puzzle. If I can spend my days enjoying what God has given me like my kids, my husband, and my family and friends then I can make my piece a beautiful part of His masterpiece.
I know that I am not guaranteed a perfect day everyday, but I am guaranteed a perfect life after this one. I just need to believe and live this life for Him. When your life becomes about Him, then the bad stuff won't seem so bad. Instead the bad things become about discovering the good that God has in put in place for our life. For example, out of tragedy can come support from people you didn't even know cared. God has a plan for our lives, and if we can let go of the reigns and let Him guide us then we will see His plan is way better than anything we could imagine!!

Hey Bridgee,
Thank you for sharing your gift of faith with all of us. I know where you are from and what we tried to teach you. It is a true gift to Dad and I to watch and share in your faith filled life. Faith seems like the gift that keeps on giving. Love - yo mamma!

Dear Bridget,
You blog on Faith Unveiled was the theme of my weekend with your dad. "Fathers Day" is all about being Our Heavenly Father's business everyday by faith.
