Faith

Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.   - Hebrews 11:1 The partner to hope is faith.  It is great to be able to hope for better but you have to have faith it will come happen.  I discovered this while still in my boot.  In the days before my one month visit to the doctor some people asked if I was worried.  I wasn't I hoped everything would go well with my surgery and had faith that it would.  It helped me to not be sad or anxious or nervous as my appointment approached.  This does not mean I was not aware of the risks and the potential they could happen to me I simply hoped they would not and had faith that I would be ok.  There was a short time I entertained some of the less desirable thoughts, the what ifs...my conclusion was even if the undesirable happens I will be ok.  That's the other side of faith.  Faith that the unknown will be ok. Ten days into the New Year and no miles logged but many blessings acknowledged and yet to come.
