Finding Faith

God, give me the faith of a little child!
A faith that will look to Thee -
That never will falter and never fail,
But follow Thee trustingly.
Showerman

I have been thinking a lot about this recently. When I became a Christian my faith never faltered. It was not enough to just go to church on Sunday, I was so hungry for the word and went to bible study every Thursday night. I went to events every Tuesday and Sunday night and I was baptised right after I found God. Now I realize that as the years went on I began to slowly drop things and now I find that my faith is......I don't know. I do know I miss the old me, but how to focus back onto God. I know it will never be like "new" again, but I would like to be more faithful. I know God loves me but I want to show my love for God and I want to give my life to him and I don't believe I am doing that fully yet. I am in this place where I don't know how to get to where I want to be but know that I don't want to be where I am, faith wise. That's why I like this saying because this is what type of faith I pray for.

What fun

I have not been on in a while because it is kinda hard to get into my computer room right now. See, on Thursday, my brother's bedroom flooded. This is not the first time either so he has taken refuge in the computer room. I wish the landlady would have done something the first time it happened, maybe she was in denile or maybe just didn't want to spend the money. Either way I believe it is time to move!!!!!!!!!
I feel for my brother because all his stuff is thrown throughout our house and he real does not have any privacy. His bed is out in the carport and the rest off his stuff is in our foyer, man it's crazy. Carpet guys have been in to look at it and they put heaters under the carpet, so not only is my house cramped right now but it is also a sauna.
On top of all this I got one of the worse colds I have had in a long time. Had to take two days off work and miss church :(. I am slowly getting better and my brother's room is slowly getting back to normal. It's just kinda funny that one bad thing just can't happen on it's own, something else always follows.
On a better note. My family and I; including my brother's girlfriend; went out to the 14th pub on Friday and had so much fun. I don't think we have had that much fun as a family in a long time, plus we won a fair bit of money on those pull tabs you get in the machines so everything was paid for. For those of you that know my family, my mother actually let go and had a great time. YEAH!
Well, until next time.
