I believe that Faith is things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.

Having faith is knowing and believing something better is ahead.

Losing that faith is a terrible place to be because that kind of thinking says that everything good has already happened and there is nothing to look forward to in your life.

But every day you wake up, there is an opportunity for things to turn around. ✌🏾

For me, it’s so important to have faith since it’s so easy to let what we feel right now get the best of us.

I struggle with it daily with continuous reminders of my health issues.

I constantly get leg cramps that stop me in my tracks and require a revolving door of treatments to open up those arteries threatening my legs.

Just when I feel some relief in my legs and I start my journey to improve my walking ability with a cardiac rehab program, I get another setback: A test result on my heart showing I need a heart catheterization to open up some narrowed areas that threaten my life.

It seems to be never-ending sometimes with one thing after another.

But I have to have faith that this journey will mean something to me and others.

I have to have faith that God has a purpose and a plan for all of us.

What keeps me going is my faith in that plan.

A big part of that faith is giving up the reigns to God and trust in every twist and turn in my health journey is part of that plan and has a purpose.

It’s not always easy to maintain that faith with a chronic illness.

But it always makes me feel better when I do.

Without faith, what’s left?
