Faith

Faith
Faith is jumping into a pool not knowing how to swim
knowing someone will catch you.
Faith is love.
Faith is thriving in a world of chaos 
because you know there's something beautiful about it. 
Faith is freedom.
But the best part about faith?
Faith is mine. 




In my sacred experience class, we spent the semester trying to define religion, and I decided to try the same thing with faith. It was hard. On the bright side, I made a poem that sounds a little bit artsy.
 Faith is also what is allowing me and my wonderful coworkers and campers to give our time this summer to share God's love with North Carolina. I think participating in CCC is one of the best definitions of faith that I could come up with. To come together with complete strangers and attempt projects like building wheelchair ramps(which you might have never attempted) either means you're crazy, or you know God is going to use you for something beautiful. 


In the next few weeks building up to Carolina Cross Connection, my constant prayer is going to be for more faith; and on June 1st, I'll be ready to jump in knowing that God will catch me, and that I'll be able to find beauty in the craziness.
