I’ve mostly been a student of faith these past few years. I haven’t always been determined to see it through, but by faith, I’ve managed to find breakthrough after groundbreaking breakthrough. Oftentimes, people wonder how they will manage the most difficult of storms or even the smallest frustrations. As humans, we are not compelled to suffer, and I don’t blame you or even myself for giving up when the going gets tough.
As I experienced life, I realized it would be more beneficial to share what I’ve learned as a way to pay it forward. I would be honest with myself and the world to save someone who needed to understand, how a small act of faith could provide new life. My reckless feelings deserved a chance to heal and find life in belief. I too have been hurt, frustrated, and overwhelmed by the world in which we exist, by the ignorance we continue to endure and the mistakes that have continued to persist. But by faith, I’m passing through time not just as a mere person, but as a giant.
The act of believing in things you cannot see is faith. If I am to live life abundantly with peace as my source, I have no other choice but to believe. Even the loyalist of friends and deepest affections of a family cannot deliver you from the grip that may be holding you tight. If anything, I have learned that to give is to receive. The decision to choose faith is an active ongoing effort. So, I’ve chosen to remain focused on the task at hand; no matter the size of my belief, I shall have faith.
What I am offering is a way out of no way. What I have granted myself is an opportunity to view life differently using a better lens and clearer mind.
None of what I’ve shed over the years has been missed. All of who I am has been changed. None of what I have stated has come easily.
Over the past three years, I have chosen to be vulnerable despite my fear. I’ve chosen to share with you what I’ve learned, how I’ve healed, and who I hope to become. I took my precious time and now I am ready to birth the vision and see this assignment to the end.
If I’ve found a way to develop power and use it for my good, would you believe me?
If I’ve written down how to find the light by using faith as tiny as a mustard seed in exchange for divine advancement, would you be willing to follow the instructions?
I sure hope so!
From my heart to your hands; my greatest assignment yet shall come to life soon.
