Believe

My grandma spent the night with us, and it's been fun having her back with us again! She definitely helps keep us moving, but I am very thankful that she can be with us. We FaceTimed my Gramps today. He was talking and looked overall really good. My mom took him some soup, and he ate the ENTIRE thing!! The good news is that he's been at 10 liters for the past 2 days...we are very thankful that he hasn't gone up in oxygen level. He's getting better each and every day, and we are still praying for a full recovery. I know that he'll get to come home soon. Praying that he gets stronger and healthier! 

Today marks the last day of the 14-day journey!! I can't believe it's already been a full 2 weeks since I started this. It's been a blessing being able to see God's hand at work throughout this entire journey. I am incredibly grateful that God has taken us this far. He has truly taught us how to believe in him even though circumstances seem different or not that great. Sometimes all it takes is for you to believe that it's going to be okay. These past 2 weeks, God has shown me he has the situations I face in the palm of his hand. It was hard initially, and it was hard when my gramps wasn't doing well either. God came through, and he gave me renewed hope. He gave my family and me the strength to be able to get through each day. 

Mark 11:24 says, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."

We have to believe that the victory is already ours and that God already took care of it. I've seen it, and just because your circumstances might be different, it doesn't mean that God won't do the same for you. Slowly but surely, things will get better. You have to remind yourself that you are God's child, and all he asks of you is to believe in him. The same way a child believes his father...God wants that. I pray that God helps you to believe this coming week and that he grows your faith in all seasons of life.
