You have an optimistic faith and confidence in life. -From the fortune cookie following lunch today at Pho Cafe in Silver Lake.

Sometimes, I’m optimistic and confident. Other times, I’m scared out of my mind. Right now, I feel like I’m on a precipice between the two extremes, and while my head tells me to run and avoid dealing with this madness we call life, my soul begs me to hold onto my faith.

Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed…he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.-Romans 4: 18, 20-21

I don’t want to waver. I want to believe and trust God’s promises and his demonstrated faithfulness.
