OK, before I get started. Here is something I made for Ben, AKA Galahad and Eileen AKA ladyvogue. Sorry, Im not singing team. Now, to hear you Eileen lol. Feel free for anyone to watch it.. but its not much. Just to put it out there, it has Nothing to do with my blog what so ever.
So,what is Faith? Imagine a bridge. A bridge sooooo long you cant see the other side. You know the other side exists though. You've heard about it but you can't see it. What would make you cross this bridge? Insecurity? Hope? Achievement? Would you do it because you are hungry for something new? Searching for a positive change in your life? To feel like your worth something? Just because we havent seen the other side, it doesnt mean it does not exist. Faith is believing but its also knowing. I havent seen God but I know He is there just like we know the other side of the bridge is there. I believe I can cross this bridge but this bridge is so long we cant do it alone. We need some one who would never leave our side. Someone who knows me and my road ahead. In my life, this is Jesus and I have faith He is with me on every bridge and through everything!
So, we are on this bridge and we are walking in Faith! We know the Lord is with us and we have this Faith that he will deliver us through ALL! Yes all things and every situation. There can not be things in our lives that we think are too big for Him or situations that are so complicated He would not understand. I'm pretty sure we all have an issue or two where we have just that little bit of doubt in the back of our minds and we stand back and think if He could he really do it? If he could really intervene?
We are still walking on this bridge and by the way, I'm not sure if you know it yet but now we are doubting God! The God that created Heaven and Earth! Who are we to doubt Him? He created us! What is Faith if we only believe in half measures? It's got to be everything. We said earlier that we know the Lord can deliver us through all. Stop walking. A huge situation has come about. Something bigger than we've ever handled or experienced in our lives. Let's walk to the edge and look over side. We can not see anything as we too high up. There is one thing we know and that is God is still with us! What if we heard His voice and it said jump! Jump into His hands and He would keep us safe. Would you do it? Do you trust Him? Now I'm not saying go jumping off bridges! This is just an example. How much Faith would you have at this time? Just remember He knows our lives before they have even happened. Do you trust Him with everything or just a bit? Just something to think about.

Shani, Though I did not watch your private video, your blog gives a good illustration of faith.
I should add there areusually buttresses under that long bridge unless it one of those long ones that are suspended bridges. Even then there will be railings at the side which prevent you from falling over. So the everlasting arms support us even at our weakest points and the Word guides our path and is a stronghold in our times of adversity.
God be with you on your long bridge to Tasmania... it is a beautiful island.

I love your analogy on faith! Do you mind if I use it for a bible study?
And I love your accent. It made me anticipate next summer all the more. I've been working and praying toward joining a missionary friend in Sidney for my internship. I've done some research on your fabulous country and am afraid I've fallen more then a bit in love with it. Which is scary for me because I hate being disappointed and if the money doesn't come in or School doesn't go as planned... arhhh so many worries. Which is shy I enjoyed this post so much. It reminded me to have faith. I can't see the end but I know the Lord has good plans for me.
