Rocks gotta have faith....

Wow.... If only id known where God would take me 21 years into life. The past 11 months of my life have been mind blowing. I've went from doubting God, to following others, to dwelling in his light. Recently i've really been stuck on this issue of faith and what that looks like for the Christ follower, and i'm not so sure that i've got it all figured out. What is faith? If we say that it is believing in the unseen, then that could be correct... But what if it's living the life you've not yet seen and following the God you've only felt?

You see, i thought that i had faith figured out for the last 5 years or so.... But it is truly so much more than i had ever imagined. God has taught me one thing that will dwell with me for life, that is this; just when i think i've Got him figured out he will start a new venue of faith that i cannot explain. Faith is living out heaven today, and daily realizing that we do not belong to the problems and strongholds of earth, we only endure those issues to see the daylight.

this is what i've learned:

Faith is living out the risen Jesus.....
Faith is trusting when its completely unlogical...
Faith is inconvenience....
Faith is putting yourself in second place....
Faith is looking beyond your circumstance....
Faith is stepping into the grey areas of life with boldness....
Faith is Living
outside...
of...
where...
you...
can...
place yourself....

Faith is the conglomeration of the human spirit, and its decision to follow the creator, or not....
