Doubts

First of all, EVERY believer has doubts. It is normal, and it is actually just part of believing. Some people have even told me that is good to have doubts, because problems strengthen our faith in Jesus Christ. One thing I have noticed, is that the weirdest things make me doubt. But when the winds stur and a storm starts in your life, falling back on God is the best thing you can do. I definately had doubts about coming to Spain for a year. I kept questioning, is this what God's plan is for me? What if this affects my faith in a bad way? I know that all summer, the fear of losing my faith while I was here was like a dark cloud hanging over me. It is definately really difficult, but I know now that I will not lose my faith in Christ Jesus while I am here. Some good things to do when you are in doubt, is read your Bible. Psalms is always good, talk with a Christian friend or family member, watch a Jesus movie, PRAY! Many people say reading Psalms out loud really helps. Doubting tends to be very temporary. Also, remember that Satan wants you to doubt. Consider yourself, why do you think you are doubting? What are your doubts about? Doubting can lead to learning about yourself. Lack a fellowship can also lead to doubts also. When I have doubts about God creating the world (especially when Atheists bombard me with what they think they know about the big band theory), I just look at how every single person is different - has a different finger print, personality, voice, eyes! Did you know that humans are the only one's who can cry, and laugh? Also, reproduction. How complicated it is, but how simple and such a miracle babies are! I like languages very much also. It is so cool how we learn languages and how so many different one's exist! I will have more updates on doubts later...about different situations of doubts you could possibly have. But the best thing to do is rely on scripture - the Bible. Feel free to comment, or ask me any questions! For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. John 2:1
