O You, of Little Faith

Give God a little faith and He will show you wonders.

I have discovered this little thing that has the power to change lives. It makes Satan flee in fear. It transforms hearts. It fills empty souls. It gives hope to the lost. It mends brokenness. I am writing this blog solely to let some of my bottled up joy out in sharing this simple fact.

God is so unbelievably faithful even when we are not.

God has a plan for you, and He wants you to trust Him. As someone who revels in control, this concept is terrifying. I know I find myself questioning God's sovereignty over my life. We even see Jesus' disciples' wavering faith in Matthew 8: "And when he got into the boat, His disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but He was asleep.And they went and woke Him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” And He said to them,“Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then He rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm."

God has the power to cease storms with a single word, to bring the dead back to life, to move mountains, and yet we still question His ability to work in us and our lives.

In Matthew 1,7 Jesus reminds us: "if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible."

All that is required is a little bit of faith, and God will show you just how powerful and in control He truly is. He requires nothing in return for his faithfulness. No testing. No task to be completed. All you have to do is wake up in the morning and give Him a tiny bit of faith.

That. Is. It.

Just a whisper of, "God, I don't know what is going to happen, so let me rest in knowing that You have total control of my life and will not lead me astray. Lord, help me."

Plans go awry, mistakes are made, promises are broken, and life is just a mess. However, there is peace freely given to us by the One True King to escape the weight of this harsh world. All we have to do is give him a tiny pinch of faith, and we will then hold the ability to move mountains.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
