He Will Come Through

Starting my own business (www.slyd.us) was never something I expected to do or necessarily wanted to do (neither was moving to where we currently live).



It is not really "my own business" either, but that of my husband and his associate. But, becuase I am directly connected through my husband I am ultimately involved.



I have gone through several stages this year due to my connection and faith. Below you can see as I have clearly outlined them:

1. Belief- God called us to this and is going to provide.


2. Doubt- Did I hear God right?


3. Crazy- Am I crazy or is He really going to some through?


4. Depression- He is not coming through, we need to figure something else out.


5. Belief- God owns the cattle on a thousand hills, why wouldn't He help us, He has promised.

These stages are circular too which is a huge problem for me. I often feel as if I might be riding a roller coaster.

But here is the thing, I need to go back to the story of Jesus on the boat and Peter walking out to him. When Peter starts walking out towards Jesus on the water, he notices the waves and begins to sink and cries out to Jesus to help him. Jesus says why do you have such little faith? We often are baffled by this, and say "Peter walked on water for goodness sake, how can this be little or weak faith?". I recently listened to a message regarding this. It is not that Peter had little faith, because he had great faith. It is that Peter's faith was "short lived," and that Jesus' words are often misinterpreted.

This relates to me because as shown in my cycle above I have "short lived" faith. Often I can go through this whole cycle in a week, or a day. My "short lived" faith needs to be turned into a commited and knowing faith.
