Why I Praise Him! By Kay Heitsch
Have you ever started out on a journey not knowing the way? You know what your final destination should be, but you have no idea how long it will take.
However, the way home can take many turns.
My faith journey has been an adventure. Living by faith, depending on the Lord, helps to take the pressure off.
However, I did not always live by faith, and it took the tragedy of the death of our son, Todd, for me to find my way back to my faith journey.
Interestingly, my simple faith journey began many years ago as a young child.
My first memory of living by faith came on a walk to town.
When I was a child, I'd walked downtown to buy something at the grocery store for my mom. One day, before I walked into the store, I reached into my pocket for the money she had given me, but I couldn't find it. I ran home in tears.
Mom and I retraced my steps; as we walked, we talked. Mom said if we found the money, that would be great.
However, if we didn't, then the Lord knew someone needed it more than we did. Either way, I could see it was in the Lord's hands.
My faith journey started at that moment.
"Write down for the coming generation what the Lord has done, so that people not yet born will praise Him." Psalm 102:18
