1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Heb 11:1
This is my motivation. This is the key to my faith. This is what picks me up off the grass of my escape. This is what helps me to forgive. This is what tells me to pray, to hope, to love.
Yesterday, I bought a roundtrip ticket to Georgia for Training Camp in October. Yesterday, I begin the start of setting up life insurance.
Yesterday, I decided to finish reading a book I started almost a year ago. That book is called “Jesus for President”. It challenges what we, as Americans, as Texans, as WEST Texans in the bible belt have been taught. It brings out the hippie in me and makes me want to wear gawdy “Peace” jewelry. But most importantly, It makes me want to open the word of God and challenge myself to live more Christlike.
Also, I wish I didn’t have to do this.. but I do have to talk finances until all of my money is in. My HOPE for August was to double my account balance. My HOPE was that newsletters and a facebook group might interest a new crowd. To this day, I’ve received about $500 more, leaving me $2500 short of my August hope. However, the month is not over and neither is my hope. Whether the money comes in in five days, or five months, I know that my faith can still stay strong, because although its hard to see, I have hope, and faith, that my God will provide without me having to pay a cent of my brothers inheritance.
