How can I still have faith?

How can I still have faith?

This is a question that I even ask myself at times. How can I still hold on even though I try to do the right things, even when I am a believer and things still come at me?

I've realized years ago that being a believer doesn't mean that magically, all of your problems will go away.

Life will still throw shit at you, and sometimes it feels like it throws more at you just to see if you'll still believe.

The thing is, I know things will come to pass that I've prayed about. I have learned that it is on his time, not mine. Do I get frustrated at times? You better believe that I do. Do I cry out when God when? All the time. Does it feel like my faith may be as small as a mustard seed? Yes, sometimes I am barely holding on, but I never let go. I never give up on believing that what I've prayed about will come to pass. 

Why? How? You ask. Because I know that I am living the life I once prayed for. I see all of my things on my vision board that have happened. I envisioned the life I have now, this home, this business, a life full of peace and joy. 

I put this all out there in God's hands, the universe, or whatever you believe in or call it. I won't give up. I know that one day I will have a New York Times bestseller. That I will find the man God has for me, that we will have a cabin on the lake in the mountains. I will speak to thousands of women to inspire them. I will only have to write to support myself and be able to bless others.

I refuse to let go of my dreams, to stop envisioning my future life even when it seems I am running out of patience, I hold on. I know how long it took the last time. It's not if it's coming for me. It's when it is coming. 

So today, my friends remember to hold on to dream big, to keep envisioning your life how you want it. Even when the storms come at you, even when life seems too hard, hold on and still have faith.
