Walk by faith

"walk by faith" is a phrase that we hear on a daily, but what does it really mean? To me walking by faith is standing strong in your convictions and pushing forward no matter what your circumstances are. It took a while for me to build my faith to where it is now and it is still growing daily. There are definitely situations that break me down and make me question God, but I had to realize that everything im going through is really for the betterment of my journey and making me stronger.  Some things that I do to keep my faith are going to God instead of people because ultimately every human is going through their own storms and there is nothing that another human can do to bring you eternal happiness. I use to think that people can give you happiness and love, but actually, you can only create those things with people, they cant give it to you. The moral of the story is if you believe in God the way you say you do, then it is up to you to cultivate that relationship with him and trust in him more than you trust anything in this world. Sometimes life can be an illusion, a lot of what you see is not what it seems and the results that you see are not always what is really the end for you. Walking by faith takes GREAT strength and power. Having faith is knowing that although the walls seem to be closing in around you, it is only a test and you pushing through promotes you to the next level. No, I do not mean pushing through by hiding away, creating walls, or living with fear until you magically end of on the brighter side of a situation. You have to push through and take life head-on with your head high, shoulders back and with a positive attitude. You are literally a warrior in this life and only the strong will survive. It gets hard to stay nice, optimistic. positive, hopeful, brave, courageous, hard-working, and dependable when life is constantly throwing stones at you, but being/doing these things creates rewards for you that you can not imagine. Giving up, and falling victim to your situations makes you a bottom feeder, not a victor! Having faith is being a good person and keeping hope alive when everything in your life tells you to do otherwise.

Be blessed and stay well :)
