New Year always seems to inspire resolutions, however I am hesitant to make any. I am not quite sure why.
At the end of 2012, as I do every year, I was praying to God and asking Him for a word or theme for the coming year.
The word I received was: faith
I feel that God is saying that this will be a year where He will deepen my understanding of what faith is.
This will be the most expensive year that we've ever faced. Even more than our wedding last year. With both of us going back to being full-time students in the School of Biblical Studies (SBS), and having a baby, and also planning an extended trip home at the end of the year (our baby will be six months old then and we want to spend time with my different pockets of family so they can know him/her.)
In YWAM, we throw around the phrase, 'living by faith'. Like it is a currency.
In the past 6 years, where I have been 'living by faith', my faith has been stretched. But this year, the stretching will increase.
I need faith to trust God for the school fees.
Faith for the finances to have this baby in Singapore, where I am a foreigner.
Faith to raise this baby as God desires us to.
I'm looking forward to the lessons...
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
Romans 10:17
