Steps of Faith

Yesterday I was having a discussion about faith with a Christian friend of mine. We were discussing decisions we had made over the years and how much faith was required to make those decisions. What exactly is faith? In my humble opinion it is belief in something unseen. It is following your heart or your gut and making a decision without seeing how it will all work out. Of course, this isn't safe or logical. I know that for me faith is very difficult. I like to plan out decisions and work my way through the steps to achieve the ultimate goal. But that doesn't exactly take faith. Faith is more like jumping into a boat and pushing off the shore and having no map or paddle. Trusting the wind to take you to where you need to go. Exciting and scary all at the same time.

I am at a place in my life where I am completely trusting God to fill my sails and send me where I need to go. So far nothing about this journey has been logical or predictable, but why am I surprised? Faith isn't logical. Who knows where I'll end up but I have a feeling the journey will be incredible!!

Have a blessed day!
