--> i would like to take a moment to define this "faith". How church-ified is that word? I mean faith is believing in the unknown (yes we've all heard this and is actually the first definition that pops in my brain).
hmm...this faith...WHAT does this mean to ME, Alyssa B? This is my new found (and by new I mean this definition just rocked my world) defintion...let me break it down (wicky wicky):
FAITH= begins at believing WHO God says He is and ends when we (i) believe He will do what he promises.
Now check it...Hope is different than faith. Hope is believing something might happen. Faith is being straight up sold out to what you believe. Illustration time! Hope is connected to faith by the promise of God.
Wow...like that is super legit. I love when things that have been buzzing around you head your whole life all of a sudden smack you in the face in a completely new and exciting way! I mean why would I believe in something without actually knowing why...Why do I believe God created the earth? --BEEEECAUSE i have faith He did. Why do I believe God challenges us through difficult times? ---BEEEECAUSE He promises through it all our perseverance and endurance will grow!
God's promises are fantastic and so encouraging. I welcome these challenges! They have reminded me of God's promises that confirm my faith and beliefs. I love that God keeps our relationship SPICY! Never a dull moment with my awesome Father!

Note to self:
-Have complete faith I will dominate and rock out my presentation tomorrow.
-Start running again...geez school and summer speech camps have totally thrown that off.
-NOTE i am not promised tomorrow so I don't want to waste a moment--LIVE OUT THAT FAITH BABY!
