Faithful Friday

Growing up I always believed in God and he was extremely present in my life.  As the years have passed, although I've never lost my faith I've become less of a practicing Catholic.  This has never been because I've doubted in God,  but simply because I've found myself too busy with life.  

Recently I've made the choice to make time for God.  Looking to him not just during the times I need his help, but also in the times in which everything in life is going great.  In doing so I'm finding my inner peace.  

I'm learning to appreciate all the good in life.  I'm learning to be more thankful for my blessings and stop questioning so many things.  I'm learning to let go of the negativity inside.  Forgiving those who have hurt me and forgiving myself for my wrong doing as well.  This all is not an easy process.  I take it day by day.  Some days are harder than others, but I do my best to push forward.  

I'm not sure where this path I'm on is leading,  but I'm putting my faith in the Lord.  I'm trusting that he will take me to where I need to be and know he won't let me fall.
