we all know that faith is believing in things that aren't visibly seen, but lately my life has taken a turn that has forced me to believe in a different kind of faith; believing in things that are not only invisible, but things that seem impossible.
it all came clear to me while i was driving the boys back from blockbuster tonight and blasting michelle branch on coto drive. let me recite the lyrics for you incase you've been living in a cave the past few years and don't know what i'm referring to.
"you're everywhere to me
and when i close my eyes, it's you i see.
you're everything i know
and that makes me believe
i'm not alone."
now let me break it down for you:
the understanding that everything will be okay is all around us and part of our spiritual dna, although we are distracted and blinded with fear and doubt at every angle. you see, the adversary wants us to feel lost, but our inherent nature knows the plan, and that truly, everything will work out in the end. all we have to do is practice a little bit of blind faith, put our trust in the Lord, remember that we are in fact, never ever alone, and endure to the end.
so thank you, michelle branch, for encouraging me when i need it the most.
and here i go, leaping into a world of the unknown and unfathomable.
and it's all going to work out just fine.
