That’s a powerful question. My answer is that most of the time, faith is presented as something you either have or don’t like an abstract concept rather than a skill to develop.
I’ve been told to believe, to trust, to have faith, but rarely was I given a clear, practical way to build it. It often felt like I was expected to just hope it would show up when I needed it most. But real faith. unshakable, grounded faith, doesn’t just appear. It takes conscious effort, practice, and experience.
I love the idea that faith is a muscle, something that can be trained and strengthened. That shifts the whole perspective from passively waiting to actively growing.
IF I may, for me it shifts to control, that I have a choice to control my faith. I choose to control, I choose to work the muscle. This is serving very well these days. It's not blind faith, its a knowing I can trust within myself.
They told me to be happy but they never showed me how. They told me to practice self care but they never showed me how. Little orphan #Aimee <who had parents>
Faith to me is to look at how I have been led through life. To remember times like these earlier on when I felt very strongly inside that I was going to win. And then the miracle happened just as I was informed from within!
I’m expecting the same achievement again, because number one, I’ve put in the work necessary to move ahead and number two, the universe stopped by to support me in that, in fact, I was clueless when Pauline paused for me and took me like a disciple and her first question to me what ‘what is your goal?’.
I was astounded to hear that. But it stopped me in my tracks and made me think and that’s how I got started just about two months ago, and today I have applied to college, there is no plan B, I am expecting to be told that I got it and that is my faith in action!

Platitudes fall flat when we realize there are just words with out any expectation of results
One thing I wasn't taught was faith, and I have that by the bucket full
Wonderful. In what do you have faith?
Myself, nature, animals, gods and goddesses
