They Call Me Faith

How do I begin? Do I begin by telling you that I am a person living with the disorder Bi-polar? Do I begin by telling you that I am a mother with a child that has Asperger's Syndrome and 3 other mental disorders? Or do I begin by saying that inspite of the circumstances, the trials, the struggles, the pain, the confusion I have seen the Lord do miraculous things in spite of the conditions.
Yes, let's begin there. I have been married now for 21 years to an awesome man of God. I am a special education teacher in a middle-school and have been teaching now for 11 years. I published my first book " A Touch of Peace," in 2006 and now I am so happy to say I have finished writing my second book " They Call Me Faith".
Why did I put all that stuff out there? I have to keep reminding myself that through faith all things are possible for those who believe. Yes, I believe in spite of the fact.
I have to tell you this journey is difficult. Especially when God uses you to intercede on behalf of others and you see His hand move and yet your prayers are still unanswered. Moreover, when you can lay hands on the sick and they recover, but you can lay hands, oil and fast and pray and yet your son still wakes up in his own world and is still isolated and without emotions. How can you serve and love a God who promises so many things and yet you have not seen them come to pass in your own life?
" Faith" a powerful word. One that can transform and transfigure a person in an instant. "Faith" a powerful word that can give hope to the weary. Oh, how I learned how to embrace Faith. I know that without it I would have chose to leave this world a long time ago. I know that without it I would have given up on the Word of God. I know that without Faith I would not be able to see His hands in my life. I know without Faith I could not please my Daddy - " ABBA".
I have to tell you that before I wrote my second book " They Call Me Faith" I did not know what I was going to write about, however, the one thing I did know was the title. Faith is indeed a wonderful powerful word to embrace.
