I have always wanted to write things down that are in my head because I've thought it a shame that there is no way for people to know what another person is thinking. I am not a writer by any means, I am not even a reader - so therefore my attempt at blogging will be amateur at best. But bear with me and maybe you will gain insight to something that you were thinking about too.
I chose the pic "it all starts with faith" because lately I have noticed everything really does. With Faith one is able to plow through things with a little more help. I have come to the realization that it is okay to be sad, angry, upset, confused, and disoriented when tragedy happens. It is okay to "not be okay" as someone told me, but when Faith is strong those thoughts and moments of doubt become more tolerable, not always understandable, just tolerable. We can wonder and question God's plan for our lives and the lives of others, BUT we must still keep the Faith that God DOES have a plan. We are too human and earthly to understand or know what the plan is, but as long as we continue to trust in "the plan" we will survive these moments of fear, doubt, and tragic events in our lives. I guess if we understood - we wouldn't be here - right?

i struggle with faith sometimes a lot too, but ironically, i struggle with the idea of not having a faith as well.
i recently tried to explain (on the internet of all places!) what faith in something was, and i found that the opposite side (scientific evidence) is really hard not to demand if you look for an empirical explanation for EVERYTHING in your life. still, how do you really know that someone loves you, or that God exists? or scientific evidence for a set of data! (unless, of course, you are the one that physically conducted that experiment.)
in any case, great first post. i am excited about your blog!
You know someone really loves you by looking at all the signs - those signs are tangible. You know God really exists because you trust in your Faith that He does. Or....you look around at all the signs that He does!!
