Good morning from Hideaway Ponds, Louisiana. It has rained here every day for three days and off and on for a week or two. No I'm not going to complain. It was only a short time ago when we were desperate for rain. The cracks, that were in the lawn, have closed in. My little dog Heidi doesn't like the rain and it took some coaxing to get her to take her morning walk.

Here is a scipture about faith, taken from the King James...Luke 17:5 & 6...And the apostles said unto the Lord, increase our faith. And the Lord said, "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, be thou plucked up by the root and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you."...What happens when a seed is planted? It grows, so our faith will grow. Do you have a sycamine tree that is in your way, holding you back, a problem that seems impossible for you to solve? Remember the mustard seed. Sometimes you have to let it take root and grow.

You probably think, "yaw what does she know?... she's good at placating but when real problems arise, can she really practice what she preaches." Well my answer is this, I have lived a long life and the experiences of life have taught me many things. I do know this, God answers our prayers when the time is right and when it is best for us. Sometimes, He has to do a work in us, before He will grant what we ask. If you have not gotten your answer, maybe you have not surrendered your life to Him. Is there something that you have in your life that is separating you from Him?
