Rae (ray) of Faith

I will be completely honest-I have no idea what I am doing.  God has put a yearning on my heart to share random stories and experiences of mine with hope that this will help others.  However, if it doesn’t help others, I have learned that writing and reflecting definitely helps me.  Given I am new to this space, I am not yet ready to reveal my name and all the stuff other bloggers can reveal.  In fact, I won’t even consider myself a “blogger” for a while.  So what is Rae of Faith? Full transparency, I don’t know yet.  The title has meaning though.  My middle name is Rae, which I hated as a child because I thought it was a boy name.  I have grown to like it over the years, so that is where it started.  (As I said before, anonymity until I have a better understanding is important.) Then there is faith.  My journey as a Christian has not been as full of faith as so many others, but regardless, God has never left me. It just took that little ray (Rae) of Faith to get me through. In Matthew 17:14-21, a father comes to Jesus and pleads for healing for his son.  Before begging Jesus, the disciples all tried to heal the child and failed.  Why did they fail? Not enough faith. But what is crazy about this is that “enough faith” is just the size of a mustard seed. Satan wants me to believe that if the disciples didn’t have enough faith, where does that leave me?  That’s what Satan does, but God promises that just a mustard seed of faith is sufficient.  My Rae of Faith has gotten me here, and my journey continues as I grow my little Rae.  I pray that each of you can start with just the mustard seed to grow your faith into what God truly wants for you.  Thank you for joining me on this journey.  Check back about once a month for more stories.
