Have a Little Faith in Me...

A recent Monday Motivation, here, from Mahatma Ghandi, reminds us that faith is more than just something we wish and hope for, or happens haphazardly.  

Instead, it's a 'place' that we slowly and steadily grow into and own.... if we choose to. And sometimes, for various reasons, we find ourselves having our faith tested a bit more than usual. 

Do you remember the last time

your faith was tested?   

  

No, I mean REALLY tested?  

Maybe it's now. 

Fellow blogger, MizFit, recently wrote a post that included this message:

"Don't dig up in doubt what you've planted in faith." 

Wow.  Talk about hitting home.  How did she know that that's what I needed that very day???

Pam Slim's final words in her book Escape from Cubicle Nation include this tip:  

"It is a leap of faith. You can choose to take it or not."  

(p. 320) 

 

Seth Godin, in Tribes, writes, "Faith leads to hope and it overcomes fears" and goes on to say, "Faith is demonstrated in the actions you take." (pp. 79 - 83)

Why should I have faith???

• Because it is faith that helped me complete 13.1 miles back in March when I really thought I couldn't. 
• Because it is faith that has helped me accept and attempt to understand my toughest lessons.
• Because it is faith that helps us stay grounded and purposeful. 
• Because it is faith that ultimately gets us to those places we want to be ~ physically, emotionally, spiritually.
• Because it is faith that guides us ~ if we choose to listen.  Very carefully.  

Yes! 

I hear the messages. 

I understand. 

H-a-v-e     f-a-i-t-h.

I do. 

Do you?

 

Happy running, friends....
