Faith

Faith is exactly what it takes to get through uncertainty.
Faith is not necessary when you know how things are going to work out, - that's knowledge. It's in the time of unknowing that having faith is what sees you through to the other side. Faith is what gives you strength. Faith is that light in your heart that keeps on shining even when it's all darkness outside. Now is the time to keep that faith alive!

Faith...we've used a lot of that over the past few days as we've sat in waiting rooms with family, as my aunt went through surgery. Faith was there. Faith sat beside me and helped me to understand and have peace when things didn't go exactly as planned and many complications arose. Faith is what my aunt had as she went into surgery. My husband and I were in her room the night before her surgery and her faith in God was strong. We talked about how we don't know how people make it through this crazy world without faith. She wondered how people can go day to day with no hope, and we wondered with her. She said it was what kept her going and she knew no matter what the outcome, she was going to be okay because her faith rests in Jesus Christ and if she made it through surgery, great and if not, well, don't worry about her because she would be in Heaven and why be sad for that. My hubby and I smiled and told her we understood since we share her faith but we would all miss her. She just smiled and said well, we will be together again. She said she had no fear of surgery because she had faith that God would protect her. Protect her He did. There were complications before and during surgery, and things were tense for many hours, but yesterday afternoon, my aunt was sitting up in a chair and even joking a little bit. Hard to believe you can have your heart removed from your body and reconstructed and be up in a chair a few hours later. We thank God for the results, and we thank God for our faith, which we clung to in the times where things were not looking so good. He is always there beside us, going through life with us.

What do you cling to today? Do you have faith and hope no matter what?
