Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.
Matthew 10:20
So I’ve been thinking a lot about my future and what I want to do for the long term. I love writing, so blogging is something that I’ve always naturally wanted to do but let’s be real here, a girl’s gotta eat! So I think about my future. I think many times it’s easy to believe the best for the people we love, or even to feel hopeful for other people’s futures. I took one of those character strengths tests and I scored highest in optimism… Out of all the characteristics a person can have apparently I’m a really positive thinker. Still, thinking positively about your own future can be kinda hard. At least for me I know that when I look at my own circumstances and all the obstacles I’ve had to overcome (and the ones I still haven’t) it’s hard to be like “my future is bright!” My thought process goes more like this: I cling on to God with fear and little hope saying “okay Lord, I don’t know what I’m doing, I don’t know why I’m here, but I’m suppose to trust you, so I’m going to trust that something good will come out of where I am and where you have me.” While facing doubt and fear about the future, that little hope is just what we need and what we’re asked to have. “Faith as small as mustard seed.” is what Jesus says. So today I’m choosing to doubt the doubt, and listen to God’s little voice that gives me that little hope. That my future is bright. Just like I can feel confident and hopeful about other people’s futures, I should feel confident and hopeful about my own. So I’ll encourage myself and I encourage you too on this road and journey that is ahead of us. Don’t listen to the fear, fill your mind with faith. Have a happy and safe New Years. And have a blessed week. You got this ❤️
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life
