How to build your faith for your dreams!

This is a picture of God’s faithfulness. Meet Eleanor Grace, the fifth surrogate baby that I have had the privilege to carry and deliver on June 15th, 2017. Isn’t she beautiful?!?! I love this picture…the watermelon outfit is so fitting…during the last 2 months of pregnancy I craved watermelon something fierce! I still do. (side note: If you haven’t tried the Watermelon Mint Lemonade from Chick-fil-A, you are missing out!)

​This picture will be for our family a reminder of God’s faithfulness. In the Old Testament of the Bible, the children of Israel would resurrect Memorial Stones as a reminder of the miracles that God had done for them along their journey. The Bible gives examples in 1 Samuel 7:12 and Joshua 4:1-24. The Hebrew word for memorial means “to remember”. As humans, it is so easy to forget the small & big miracles and answers to prayer that WE have had along our journey.

​One thing that you can do to help build your faith for your dreams is to have “Memorial Stones”. This can be a wall of pictures, shelf of items, or a Journal that symbolizes, records, and reminds us of God’s faithfulness everyday! We used to have a shelf in our previous house and now we have pictures and items throughout our house as reminders.

These “Memorial Stones” will do 3 things: 1. Increase your faith…that God is a faithful God and answers prayers! ​2. Be instruments that God can use to share his faithfulness with others! ​3. Be testimonies of God’s faithfulness to be shared with your children!

​Create your space to build your faith for your dream! You may have the items already in your home, or you may need to create a journal, print our some pictures, or make space on a shelf. You will be amazed at the number of things (large & small) that God has done along the way! This practice will also help you be more aware of the miracles that happen on our behalf EVERYDAY!

​Blessings on your journey, ​Tiffany Jo Baker
