Faith Forward

1 min read

Fear speaks loudly. — Faith whispers.

Fear speaks loudly.
Faith whispers.
Yet somehow,
the whisper
outlasts the scream.
Your circumstances
don't own your identity.
Your mistakes
don't own your future.
Every disciplined choice
is a brick.
Every hopeful thought
another brick.
Eventually,
you realize
you've built
the very foundation
that carried you
through the earthquake.
I stopped asking,
"Why is this happening?"
and started asking,
"What can this teach me?"
Everything changed
after that.
