Walk by faith...

"Faith isn't believing without proof-

it's trusting without reservation."

-- George MacDonald

"What lies behind us and what lies

before us are small matters compared

to what lies within us."

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

This week at church we were talking about faith. And what it takes to have "great faith".  And I realized... maybe that has been the greatest lesson I have learned in college. Looking back, there are so many plans I had that managed to crash and burn... and for the most part, its a very good thing they did. Don't get me wrong- I have few regrets. I look back on my friendships, relationships, crazy ideas and random adventures and I know that there are memories that will last a lifetime. Nights on the suspension bridge, Dairy Queen sundays and cheap movies, grocery store trips, silly cartoons, our "usual" table, and sneaking Jamba Juic into the movies... I know those will always be the nights I look back on. But at the same time, I know there were other nights I will never forget. The nights I cried, or sat in silence, simply because I had no idea where my life was headed, and could not imagine how everything was going to come together.

Now, as I wrap up my last few weeks of college... I still do not know what the future holds. But I have seen where having faith that my God will work things out has brought me to a more beautiful place than I ever could have imagined myself.  And that gives me the hope to continue trusting... to continue to have faith that in the end, everything is going to be ok.

...Well I will walk by faith

even when I cannot see

Because this broken road

prepares Your will for me...
