I Walk by Faith
I will prepare to make and keep sacred covenants,
Seek promised blessings of the priesthood thru obedience,
Live my life to claim the blessing sweet of exaltation,
My testimony growing each new day.

I walk by faith,
a daughter of heav’nly parents.
Divine am I in nature by inheritance.
The Spirit whispers of my mission, my individual worth,
So I seek for precious knowledge,
for learning, and for growth.
I understand the meaning of accountability;
Ev’ry choice for good or ill is my responsibility.
I want to build the kingdom and good works is the key
By doing what I know is right I show integrity.

I walk by faith,
a daughter of heav’nly parents.
Divine am I in nature by inheritance.
And someday when God has proven me
I’ll see Him face to face.
But just for here and now I walk by faith.
Yes, just for here and now I walk by faith.

These are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs - by LDS composer Janice Kapp Perry. I've been thinking about faith a lot lately - do I have enough of it? Do I really believe? Am I making the right choices? Am I teaching my daughter to make right choices? In short...no...I think so....not always....I really need to work on that...I need to get my butt in gear.
