Faithful

I have been thinking a lot lately about what it means to be faithful. Faithful to my family, faithful to my friends, faithful to my job, and faithful to the Lord. One definition I found says to remain loyal and steadfast. Another passage I read says faithfulness comes from a place of trust and loyalty. Still another passage I read said that faithfulness is a process. In other words, when you are faithful, you are true to your word, you are steady, you are reliable.

Last week, Jason and I went to a funeral visitation for one of the most faithful men I have ever known. When I think of him seeing Jesus for the first time, there is no doubt that Jesus said to him, well done - my good and faithful servant.

Do you have people in your life who are faithful? People who walk beside you through any situation - good and bad? God has gifted me with faithful loved ones that I depend on to walk this road with us. Those loved ones are faithful, no matter what.

I want to teach Lily and Micah how to be faithful. Faithful in the little things so that they can be faithful in the big things.

Thank you for your faithfulness in praying for our family.

When you pray for us, please pray these things:

Lilyś next chemo is Thursday. Please pray that she will tolerate the medicine and that her nausea will be managed.

Pray that the chemo is doing exactly what it is meant to do.

Pray that Micah will feel secure and loved.

Pray for Jason as he continues to work to provide for our family.

Pray that I would not worry about tomorrow, just focus on today.

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.

Hebrews 10:23
