Wowza
So I was reading in my devotional tonight about doubting Thomas and it brought up an interesting point. Jesus didn't scold Thomas for doubting, instead he showed him the evidence he asked for. We often portray Thomas as the doubter and what we shouldn't be as a christian. But yet, the devotional went on to say that churches in India trace their start from Thomas. God doesn't scold us for doubting. He wants us to trust him. He is an understanding God. He doesn't take away the plans he has for us because we have doubts. The bottom line is like Thomas, when we see the evidence of God, we need to realize it and stop doubting. It like so many other things, is a chance to grow in our faith.

whoooah~so good, needed that. I've definitely been on a little wonderment trip about life and what is going on etc. Thank Jesus for His Mercies! Today I was feeling so so inadequate for everything~being a Christian, a mom, a teacher~I was just feeling so helpless (and I am) so it's a good stop, in His arms crying ;) {confession yes, had a good cry today!} Anyway, I was just thinking of posting a devotional I ready today too!!! I'll wait for tomorrow because I should really try to sleep before baby wakes up again. I'm just really feeling God's patience and it's so comforting, you know. Like you shared from your devotional.
