Faith

"There will be a time, not so far from now, that you will look back on this phase of your life and instead of condemning it or beating up on it... Instead of blaming or guilting, you will feel appreciation for it, because you will understand that a renewed desire for life was born out of this time period that will bring you to physical heights that you could not have achieved without the contrast that gave birth to this desire. "
--- Abraham

For me, the above quote speaks to faith. It is a very deep faith that I have. I don't know where it comes from; I wasn't raised with it, but it is very strong. My faith speaks to me and says, "one day, you will be glad this is happening through you (not TO you) ...so why not be glad today?" It says that I am not alone as I go through this, and that all shall be well. So I ride the wave of the challenge, carrying with me faith that it will always bring me safely to shore.

Surfs up!
