I have adopted this as my life verse.  Over the last couple of years, I have come to realize that we are to move out of faith and not because we are comfortable or know each step that we think we are supposed to take in life.  God knows what He is doing and I do not have to do anything other than to follow where He is guiding me to go.  I do not have to know what will happen with my job, my future family, my finances, what my life will look like 15 years from now, or even what will happen tomorrow.  ALL I have to do is trust and start walking where He guides me to go.

Now this is definitely not easy for me to do.  I like to have control over what happens and I like to have a general idea of what is going to happen that way I can plan accordingly. I am learning to “Let go and let God”.

Life is one giant uncertain mess. Things do not always happen the way I would like. I have been through  (and still am going through) a lot of pain and trials in my 23 years of living. I have seen a lot of death and sickness in my personal life as well as my professional life, which takes its toll on you.  It makes you want to control the things you can because you know that one day, it will all be gone.  But I am learning that this is not how God wants me to live, He wants me to give it all to Him and trust him for my every need. The only thing I need to do is trust the One who knows everything and planned it all from before time began.

All of this to say that I wanted to start writing a blog called: “A Walk By Faith”. I want to write down the things that I am learning in my walk of faith so that I can look back and remember, but also that maybe I can be of encouragement to someone who is learning some of the same lessons I am.  So let’s learn to walk by faith together.
