What is faith? Is it a one time belief that grants us access to God’s kingdom? Is it a magic formula to save us from certain calamity. Or is it a seed that has to be watered, tended to, acted upon?

Too often we believe the lie that we're not making a difference. We question our purpose. We wonder if where we’re at is where we're supposed to be. We have doubts when things get difficult. Sometimes in the middle of difficult circumstances, things don’t make any sense. What are you supposed to do during those seasons—when you’re worn out, tired and it feels like the challenges will never end?

I like to be in control, to know how things are going to work out. I want to plan and think through all of the options. While this is ultimately good, it can be bad if I'm not being obedient and following what God is leading me to do.
