“Now faith is being sure of what we
hope for, being convinced of what we do not see.” – Hebrews 11:1
Yesterday, I introduced you to my dear friend Alice. When I was fearful to step out and start this
ministry, Alice believed in it wholeheartedly.
She encouraged me with her words and her actions. While giving a public blessing over me, Alice
confidently said, “Be strong and work, for God is with you.” She marked up my writing with red and black
pen, circling the needed changes and starring the sentences she approved
of. Any time I would doubt with my head
down, Alice would lift me up with encouraging words and remind me to have
faith. Alice may be in heaven but her
wisdom is still teaching me and her strong faith is still encouraging me to
believe in my dreams.
This week, I will spend hours reading through Alice’s graduate
school papers and personal journals. I am searching through her writing to find
her faith stories. I am collecting her
wisdom, like hidden treasure. Because she
wrote them down, they have out-lived her and will continue to teach future
generations.
What about you? Have you
written down your faith stories? Have
you documented times when God showed up in miraculous ways, answered your
prayers powerfully, or lavished love on your hurting heart? I so wish I had my grandparents’ faith
stories to treasure and share with my children.
This wish spurs me on to write my own down in hopes that they will leave
a legacy of faith that surpasses the number of days I have on this earth.
If you would like to share a faith story you treasure, please
email me at laura@3oclockwakeup.com.
Be strong and share your faith.
