I've Come This Far By Faith

Faith. The size of a mustard seed. Faith. The thing that kept me through it all of my ups and downs. Without faith, where would I be? It's by faith that I've survived all of these hard trials that come before me. No one can take my faith away. Not my mama, not my daddy, not my sister, not my brother. My faith is all I've got. I've been lied on, cheated, talked about, mistreated, buked, scorned, knocked over, stepped over, abused, misused, forsakened, beatend, up, down, and leveled to the ground. But it's "faith" that has allowed me to keep moving. It's faith that allows me to wake up in the morning. It's faith that walks with me and talks with me. It's faith that keeps my eyes focused on the prize. It's faith that keeps me company when I have no one else to talk to. It's faith that gives me the courage to look past my fears. It's faith that gives me the power to fight all of my battles. It's faith that gives me the strength to stand up after I've been tumbled down. There have been plenty of times when i felt like giving up. There were situations where I didn't think that I would survive. There have been drastic loses that I've witnessed which were so devastating. But I'm still here. I'm still alive. I'm still breathing. I'm still standing. I'm still fighting. I'm still moving. I'm still living. And it's all by faith.
