Faith is that one word that can be taken so many different ways but it truly is about your relationship with God that determines what this word means to you. Faith is the special trust that you have with God. Faith is knowing that God is going to show up over and over again. Faith is the love we show to God for his everlasting love for us. Faith is knowing that it will work out despite what it looks like. Faith is your ability to hold on through anything just because God is going to show up in the right place and time.
As women, we take on so many roles and are naturally protectors of those whom we love so that may hinder our faith at times. We are natural lovers, healers, and nurturers so it is apart of us to want the best for others and ourselves. It is so important that we do not overbear in our nurturing spirit that we forget that we can not do it all on our own. God is our all in all. God steps in even when we are there in the storm, so cast all your cares unto him. We have to show God that we trust and love him and that is with our faith.
