You Gotta Have Faith....

Enough for two?

Sometimes, especially in this day and age, we are constantly hearing about faith. Faith that it all will work out, faith in the government, faith in mankind, faith faith faith! Where does faith come in every day? It seems as if every minute requires a conscience decision to soldier on. We are hard pressed to find it in our very human selves to have the belief that everyone we love will be okay.

But we only have the capacity to have faith for one. It is a painful realization that our faith cannot be pressed upon others. Our sense of being “okay” with the hope we have is a powerful tool at our disposal. It gives us peace, with the end purpose of a final outcome that will benefit us and the ones we love.

We have to know that we know that we know it will all work out. You cannot walk someone’s else faith for them. It comes from deep inside. We have to pray that the other person can see our strength and faith. Pray they look deep within themselves and see they need God to supply the faith they need. We need to live each day with the conviction that good will win. I know good will win. I have read The Book.

So many times I have looked up to the heavens and wondered how long must this suffering go on, for myself, for my loved ones, my country and the whole world?

For the first time in the history of humanity we are all literally in the same boat. Life has been like a lovely song being played on the piano that has become horribly out of tune.

A good place to start this deliberate journey of faith is one step at a time and one human at a time. I know we all try to surround ourselves with people we love and who make us feel whole. But, if there are people in your life who bring nothing but strife, whether it be in real life or online life, I urge you to block block block! Do not let anyone distract you from staying on your own journey with a heart and soul of contentment.

One of the most important things I try to remember is to shut out anything that brings contention and turbulence into my life. I choose peace, joy and a grateful state of being. I choose God. And I have faith that He chose me to be exactly who I am. I have faith that He has me. I am doing my part, as best I can, to be a strong woman of character who can maybe, just maybe, be a help and a strength for someone who needs it.
