Congratulations for your baby girl!! Girls are a blessing... I have 3 of them.
What reinforces my faith is the strength I got after praying for my Spirit Guide, Jesus and Saint Mary. What reinforces my faith is the knowledge I got from reading and searching.
What makes me question is the possibility that I don't know everything I should yet. There are more uncovered and when I realize that, I question my own beliefs.
Questioning is the best way to Knowledge.
Peace!

This life has been a most fortunate one.
I have received many teachings.
I have met many faith filled beings.
I have met many Saints, Swamis, Yogis, Holy Men, Sages, Shamans, Medicine Men, etc.
Faith is sufficient unto Faith.
Faith must be watered, nourished, and cared for.
It is a gift that must be accepted and developed.
This is up to the individual, and no one else.
Faith is the key that is necessary to unlock the doors to many secrets.
There comes a time in the life of a human being when reinforcement, or questioning becomes irrelevant!
*May Mother and Child be blessed with abundant health!

Most of the things that reinforce my faith and also make me question it.
For example, doubt makes me question my faith, yet once I over come my doubt my faith is reinforced. (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlMccNpC5vM8m1nrpVwO.UQjzKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20070620211545AAiIi6o)
Friends and human influences are the same way. I can go hang out with people that believe in the same at I do and therefore my faith is reinforced. However, I can also hang out with people who don't have the same beliefs that I do. .thus, I question my own faith.
The experiences that I go through in my life also help to reinforce my faith. .but then there are those times when I feel like I just want to give up. .which doesn't reinforce my faith but makes me question it.
So I guess when you really think about it. .whatever reinforces your faith can also make you question it. But then again, part of having a faith is sustaining it your whole life through your periods of reinforcement and trials of questioning.

It reinforces my faith when I go out on a limb to do what i feel pleases God and it works out. I'm talking about doing something that helps another person, not winning the lottery type stuff. Also, meditation and prayer.
I question my faith when I spend more time dwelling on problems than on God. That's a slippery slope for sure.

1) When I spend time in the presence of the Lord and in worship, it puts everything into perspective for me, even when nothing seems right. Also seeing the love of God displayed in other people and in His creation.
2) All the evil in the world and all the zillion philosophies floating around. There are some questions I may never get an answer to, but i suppose that is why they call it faith. Faith - the substance of things hoped for but not seen.

Knowledge reinforces my lack of faith.
Not the answer to your question but worth mentioning.

Talking to God reinforces my faith.
Man's inhumanity to man has made me question it in the past.
Now I just accept that God is unfathomable and we cannot fully know the reasons for our existence on this planet whilst we are still living on it. We just have to trust God and believe in his love for us.

Nothing makes me question it. And it never needs reinforcing. I am confident in my beliefs!

- The sheer amount of gods and religions on this planet. Everyday life as it has happened every single say since I was born.
- burning bushes that talk, giant hands throwing bolts of lightning, that sort of stuff.
