I hope posting this does not cause any issues because as i am shure you guys have figured out i hate causing issues and negativity of any kind.With that said i have been very reflective today on my life and the blessings God has given me,2010 was not an easy year and at times my faith was very shaken yet God never left my side ,I look at the amazing friends and family he has given me and i am reminded what Faith in Christ no matter how small can mean to a person's life.So my question is what gives you faith or renews it when you feel down or depressed about life.again i hope this post will not cause any issues.

All I need to do is look into my son's eyes or look at something amazing in nature.  |

I have a very dear friend who has pulled be back from the edge too many times to count over the last ten years. She said something to me a long time ago about how I can't see how far I've come because I only focus on how far I still have to go. She reminded me to take the time to look at how far I am from where I used to be.
Anytime I get really down, I remember her words and remember that God's not done with me. And better yet, he's not given up on me either.

For me, I try my best to remember God's Love every day. But there are times when I may be feeling down about something, or maybe I'm mad at Josh, I think about all the things I prayed as a girl and teenager about everything that I wanted my husband to be. Josh is every single one of those things. He's my best reminder that God is faithful and prayer works!

I love Ronald Reagan! I downloaded a free iPhone app tonight called iReagan. I've been looking through the quotes and found this encouraging one I really like:
"We are never defeated unless we give up on God."
