After a year of blogging from half way around the world (I was in Cambodia). I decided to give this blog thing another round. This time, maybe to your disappointment, my blogs will probably not include, geckos, gangsters and crazy student quotes. However, I hope it will be just as exciting. My life has never been one thing: boring. That I can say with much confidence. Since high school, it's been one giant leap of faith to the next never knowing what the following year would entail, yet embracing every uncertain moment as an opportunity to trust my Creator. Thus comes the name of this blog "Faith." Webster's defines faith as a complete trust in something or someone. hmmmm... complete. BIG word. These past few months (since leaving Cambodia) have been a testing my faith and a building of perseverance. Everyday I remind myself that God is in control. (period). He has brought me thus far and will continue...end of discussion.
Faith is kind of unseen, in a lot of ways. However, my freckles have been seen all my life. I hated coming in from the sun and my friends would say things like, "wow, you have so many freckles." I called them ugly spots. Now, I realize they are not going away (especially with my terrible addiction to the sun) and I have embraced it. Perhaps it's a sign of maturity or just plain surrender, but now I love them. They make me, me.
Faith is what makes me on the inside and Freckles are what make me on the outside....come along with me as I trust the Father day by day, week by week...
**Oh, and props to my little brother for the title of this blog. He said that quote years ago and I've never forgotten.**Love you, Matty.
