The other day, I was wondering why my faith on certain subjects had deteriorated; things I had previously believed for and stepped out into.  It was a bummer because some of the things made my lifestyle more fun and dangerous.  

I found that the problem was that as much as I have a list of good testimonies that encourage faith, I had a list of bad testimonies about how God, seemingly, dropped the ball.  Whew! it was really great going over them, and getting His perspective on what happened; realizing that there are some things God doesn't lower the standard on just because you are lazy.  Like, trying to claim only one side of a promise... i.e. "draw near to God and He will draw near to you."  Gotta do my part on things!  

NOW for a song...  "just keep doing your best... and pray that it's blessed... and Jesus takes care of the rest, Oh- the Lord- said that- He'll take care of the rest..."
