My Million-Mile Mountain

John 6:35

April 11, 2023

Felicia and I lived, for years, going from paycheck to paycheck. In fact, it seems like we have always lived that way. BUT, we both had #faith that Yeshua would provide. And, He always did. We never went hungry, we always had all we needed, and we lived comfortably all while going paycheck to paycheck.

At first, Felicia struggled a little with this. But, after I showed her "let tomorrow worry about itself, we just need to focus on today," she began to understand the power of faith. She always had faith, but going into adulthood, with the hundreds of adult problems, she knew she needed to retain her childlike faith.

And she did. We did. Together, we continued our journey in life, knowing we'll always be provided for as long as we were faithful to Him who provides. It's this journey which made her so much stronger in her faith. She fully trusted in Yahweh to give us what we needed, and He did. We never thirsted. We never hungered. We always had exactly what we needed when we needed it.

Even in her pain, even in her debilitating suffering, she knew she could count on Jesus to bring her comfort; she knew God would provide a relief. What she didn't know was her faith in Our Father made my faith in Him #stronger. By watching her overcome those moments of sheer pain by holding fast to Him, I became even stronger in my own faith.

And, it's this faith I still hold onto. It's this faith that helps me to stand in the boat and start my journey onto the water. I need to walk out onto the waves and meet Jesus, just as Peter did. I need to continue this journey through this storm by showing Yeshua he has my hand.

Seven weeks ago, today, I stood at the base of this million-mile mountain, horrified and completely uncertain of what to do. 7 weeks ago, my whole world was suddenly and forever changed. It was the worst pain I will have ever felt, I'm sure. My favorite part of me had been taken away.

But, now, I'm finding this climb to be easier as long as I keep my #focus on Him - as long as I keep the faith. Felicia kept hers and she was a good teacher for me. Now, I need to show her and My Lord that I have faith to continue.

I love you, my angel. Always. Forever. #Fiercely
