Faith Pleases God

I go find a Bible, I hadn’t opened one since before we found out about the baby. I had grabbed my oldest daughter’s Bible and opened it to a page that she had a sticky-note on. It was Hebrews 11. I started reading in the middle of the chapter about Abraham’s faith, Sarah’s faith, then about Noah’s faith, Enoch’s faith, then forward through the chapter. In verse 35 it says: “Women received their dead raised to life again“! God what are you trying to tell me? Do you want me in faith for this baby to have life? I know You are able. Yesterday, I was resolved. I was OK with losing this child and lovingly birthing her. This was not in my thoughts to believe for life. They say it has been at least 2 weeks. What are You doing, God? I can and am willing to stretch my faith toward this, if this is what You are saying. I understand that without faith it is impossible to please You, God. And I also understand that some people die in faith and that just because you require it does not mean that I will see the thing come to pass. But because You have put this thing on my heart when I was not asking, I will now dare to believe and I will ask You for it. You are a God who wills to bring the dead back to life spiritually and physically. Your Word says so.
