There's much to be said about faith, without faith I would not be nearing the end of my educational journey, I would not have been to Australia, nor would I be where I'm at in life today.
I now fully understand what "Faith without works is dead" means. Today I try to keep the faith, but without taking the necessary actions to back up my faith nothing will change. As I once heard "If nothing changes, nothing changes."
So bring it on big ole beautiful world, help me to be the change I want to see in this world, as Gandhi said.
Hi Darlene,
ReplyDeleteThe moment I saw this picture as a thumbnail, my heart stopped for a few and I said joyfully to myself: "Mohammed Hassan is back blogging ! ? !"
Your theme "Faith" and your above photo reminded me of him, his way of seeing things, and his photographic-style :-)
Wherever he is, I wish him luck and lots of optimism :-)
Now, off to Portugal for 10 days with my friend and Mountain-Biking-Buddy Alex, hopefully I-/We'll come back with some delightful photos :-) ) )
Have a wonderful week Darlene . . .
Greetz,
Joseph
Sorry to disappoint... it's me, not M! lol I actually heard from him last week on G+, he's not posting much of anything anywhere these days but I'll pass on a hello from you if you'd like. I'll also pass on that your wishing him lots of luck and optimism, that might bring him back around for a post or two! :-)
DeleteHave yourself the time of your life in Portugal, that sounds like it's going to be one heck of a good time with your friend. Knowing you I can see an album full, or exceeding your Picassa limit, with the amazing photos you take, but don't let that stop you... Picassa takes major credit cards! lol
I shall have a wonderful week thank you and have an amazing trip. I'll be waiting for photos so please don't make me sit at my computer for too long waiting! ;-)
Cheers.

Darlene, I won't let you sit toooooo long on your office chair . . . :-D
By the way, say hi to Blogger's Next Top Model - Elyssa . . . Tell her the HELLOE is from uncle JOE . . . :-D
Greetz,
Youssef
Thanks for thinking of me and not keeping me waiting, I'm sure you know well enough by now to never keep a lady waiting! lol
DeleteI shall do that next time M chats with me, I can't tell him everything at once or he might disappear on us again for 6 months or so. ;-) Who knows, he just might make an appearance here one of these fine days. I'll suggest he does and see what happens next.
I shall say hi to Blogger's top model, she's in the under 3 category and has won hands down... Uncle Joe! lol
Have an awesome week, and a fantastic trip!
Cheers.
Super attitude. I'm sure that there were times in the past that you felt like quitting. Now you see whee the faith and confidence has got you. No looking back now.
ReplyDeleteRed while on this educational journey I felt like quitting at least once every semester, all except the last one! I kept doing those essays one at a time and now that I'm down to 6 you'd think that it'd be a breeze. I might have to take a hiatus from the wild world of the internet, from answering my phone and just get it done. Well after this week that is! lol
DeleteAnd you're right, there's no looking back. I never want to go back to where I came from, to put it mildly, it was sheer hell. Onwards and upwards now, that's the only way to go from here!
Have a fantastic week!
Cheers.
this is true what you wrote-fait is not words, faith is what you do

Ola wishing is words, faith is making your wishes come true! ;-) I completely agree with you, faith is an action word, it's taken me some time to catch on to this concept but now I understand this. This age stuff, I guess it does come with some wisdom after all!
DeleteHave a fabulous week.
