Well the good new is that God is not done with any of us yet as we are all still works in progress. As to the faith thing my most recent building of faith came in the trip to Las Vegas in November. It was a timeshare package and we got a great deal at a Hilton Resort and if we went to a timeshare presentation we paid a very low price to stay there. The only time they had for us to go to the presentation was on a Saturday.
I am a Sabbath keeper and did not want to go to that meeting on Saturday and asked if they could change it and no was the response. I booked the trip anyway and gave the problem to God and prayed that He would get the meeting changed to Friday and then believe He would do that as He knew I wanted to honor the Sabbath day. I called again and asked if it could be changed to Friday and again they said no but would put me on a list should something open up. Again I thought about calling but forgot to make the call. The next day the hotel called and told me the meeting for us had been moved to Friday and I thanked them for the change. Was I surprised by the change? No not really as God knew I wanted to honor Him and to me it was like a mountain had been moved. So yes this is a real faith builder to ask God to do something you know is in His will and then to watch Him work.
