Keeping Faith

I trust God.
I think that we should all do. We may not have any speck of idea what God is planning for our life or how He would turn things out, but I think we should all just relax. Take it easy. Breath in all the positive and breath out all the negative. Just that.
It is true that most of the unknowns are what give us the jitters. What intimidate us. What trigger us to think of the worst case scenario or possibilities. We dont know what's up ahead, what kind of life lies before us. It is really scary,dont you think? I dont blame anyone if they do feel that way. But with all that I've been through, I've admittingly gained new perspectives. My experiences taught me so much and having faith is one of them. That's right. Faith.

I've always believed that what drives us to push through and reach the point where we are now however hard is faith. Faith in ourselves, faith in God. It's what gives us the peace of mind, the wisdom, the strength to dive headlong into the vague future. Because in faith, we trust our self, we trust God, and we carry with us the one hundred percent assurance that with Him all things will turn out great. It's like getting up on the stage and playing your role without knowing if the play would be a success or a complete disaster. And yet you still do your own thing then later you found out that the audience loved your performance and gave you overwhelming compliments on how well you've acted and on how great the play was. It could also be like losing your teaching job only to find out later that youre more fit to put up your own business than to give out pop quizzes and lectures. Its just like that; Doing whatever you could do to make yourself happy, to have a productive life, to pass the exams, to get that job you've always wanted, to raise your kids, and all that jazz with that strong faith in you,knowing that whatever the outcome, with God's grace and guidance it will still be as wonderful or even more than you expected it to be.

I know that I may not be as religous as Bo Sanchez, or as smart and influential like Oprah Winfrey, or as witty like Larry King. But Im proud to say that I know well enough to come out of my shell and live my life as God has planned with no fear. There may still be some setbacks-- or a lot, I suppose, and also some wavering times. But all I just have to do is take a leap of faith and all will be well.
