- My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. James 1:2-4
When I woke this morning, I lay quietly in my bed feeling tired and discouraged by seemingly impossible hurdles. Unable to make decisions and feeling sad, I lay wondering how I could possibly write a blog that would lift and inspire others. I prayed for guidance as I do everyday and a million thoughts swirled around me like rainbow of light, but I was still confused. So I poured a cup of coffee and sat down in front of the computer. After a few minutes, God led me to youtube. Smile now. It is a sign of our times and I believe that God uses every vehicle possible to communicate with us.
I came across this lovely song called Lonely Road of Faith. The lyrics and the youtube link are listed below. It gave me the lift I needed and I hope it will do the same for you.
Indeed, throughout our lives we will walk that lonely road of faith. Our faith is tested and grows as we walk through each storm and trial in life. Life will never be perfect. There will always be difficulties. It is how we choose to navigate the winds of change and the trials that is the mark of our faith as Christians.
We can choose to feel sad, angry, discouraged or we can choose to stand tall and walk through the storm knowing that we are never alone. God is with us guiding our path through the calm and stormy days alike. Just hold on, God won’t let you fall.
Have a blessed day and enjoy this beautiful song.

Lonely Road of Faith, Written by RJ Ritchie and performed by Kid Rock
Up and down that lonely road of faith
I have been there
Unprepared for the storms and the tides that rise
I've realized one thing, how much I love you
And it hurts to see, see you cryin'
I believe we can make it through the winds of change
God is great indeed
If you believe, in the everlife
Yeah we gotta
Make some sense of the pieces that we've found
And if you just hold on, I wont let ya fall
We can make it through the storms and the winds of change
Though I walk through the valley of darkness
I am not afraid
Cause I know I'm not alone
And if the wind blows east, would you follow me
And if the wind blows north, would ya stay your course
And if the wind blows west, would ya second guess
And if it blows to the south, would you count me out
And if the sun don't shine, would you still be mine
And if the sky turns grey, would you walk away
Would you say I do, if I say I'll be
And walk this road through life with me
You know I love youuuuuu
On this lonely road of faith
On this lonely road of faith
