The Gift of Faith: Trusting the Journey
What is the gift of Faith and are you trusting the journey? Faith is the trust that something greater is guiding you, even when the path ahead isn’t clear.
Faith is the 5th gift of your 12 gifts in 12 days - Your Blueprint for a Meaningful Life. It’s one of those words that carries a lot of weight, but sometimes, you need to remind yourself what it really means. Faith is believing in what you can’t see—like trusting that the Christmas lights will sparkle beautifully even before you plug them in.
Today’s gift is Faith - that quiet confidence that something good is on its way, even when the path ahead is uncertain.
Why Do You Need Faith?
If faith were a Christmas ornament, it would be a tiny manger scene, sitting gently on a lower branch. You need Faith because it is the foundation that supports everything else and grounds you in hope.
It’s the secret sauce that turns your dreams from impossible to achievable. It’s that spark that keeps you going when the world around you wants you to quit. And if there’s one thing I know, it’s that Faith will carry you further than you ever imagined.
Faith is the fuel that propels you forward when you don’t have all the answers yet.
My Story of Building Faith
Let me tell you about a time when I needed faith more than ever. I had a dream—a big dream—to go to college, to create a brighter future not only for myself but for my family. But there was one small hiccup: we didn’t have the money. My family couldn’t afford to help me, and I didn’t have any idea how I was going to pay for it.
I felt like I was standing in the middle of a storm without even an umbrella to keep me dry. The odds seemed stacked against me, even some of the people close to me, who loved me very much said, "Girl, give up." But instead of throwing in the towel, I decided to step out in faith.
I reached out to everyone I knew—friends, acquaintances, and even strangers. I shared my story. I asked for help. And guess what? The faith I held onto paid off. People showed up in ways I never expected. By the end of it all, I had raised over $100,000—not just to cover my undergrad but my grad school as well.
That, my friend, is Faith.

How Can You Build the Gift of Faith All Year Long?
Here are three ways you can nurture this gift all year long:
1. Start Small, Trust Big -You don’t have to have it all figured out today. Start with something small and take that leap of faith. Remember, faith is like planting a seed—you may not see the tree right away, but with time and patience, it will grow.
2. Surround Yourself with Light -Share your dreams, your struggles, and your faith with others. Sometimes, you need someone to remind you that brighter days are ahead.
3. Celebrate the Wins- Don’t wait for the big milestone—celebrate the journey. When you celebrate those wins, you’re reinforcing your belief that your dreams are possible.
Let’s Wrap This Up
Faith is not about having everything figured out; it’s about believing that the road you’re on is leading you somewhere good. Hold on to your faith, keep moving forward, and watch how it transforms your life.
Remember, Faith is the belief that even, in uncertainty, something better is ahead.
