Building Faith

by Cheryl Merrick
As my poor health continues,
I decide that
the Lord must be testing my faith
and trying to teach me
to patiently endure trials.

Instead I am amazed
to find that He is guiding my life
to greater fulfillment and growth.


He is showing me how
to best share my talents;
how to do better research;
and how to shop more effectively.

Feeling more in control
of my life,
I enjoy the excitement
of new options, 
and learn to trust
that I am loved.
