Having Faith

Faith means believing in what can’t be seen or experienced YET.  Having confidence that what you hope for will come to pass.  Faith ebbs and flows.  One day it is easy to access and other times it appears to have vanished completely.  It does help to remember that even when it’s a cloudy day, the sun is still shining.  Obstacles prevent me from seeing it, but I know it continues to exist.  Therefore, I can have optimism that peace is possible on days of conflict.  I can anticipate good things when darkness is all I can see.  I can expect promise and possibility when words of despair or limitation echo in my mind.  I will remind myself of the truth of these words today and focus on healing, laughter, friendship, connection, beauty, and lightness of being.
