You know those days, weeks, months where the glaring obvious in your life is the grit of everyday? Those days where the frustration of getting it all done, answering a 4 year olds 100 million questions, hitting the bed at night knowing you didn’t accomplish hardly much of what you really wanted to? The crazy of everyday life is so in focus that you lose sight of what is beyond it.

Then a little voice keeps saying in your heart to keep on and everywhere you turn there are messages of faith.  And that faith involves risk and trust, focusing on things that you can’t see right now.  And your pastor says “faith is essential because we are headed for goals beyond our sight” -John Meadth.
