*We love our men friends, but this meeting is just for women--Sorry!
Women's Spiritual Journey* randomly picks a different character trait to discuss each month. Discussions are freewheeling, guided by the interests of the group. Generally, we think about how the quality operates in our lives (or doesn't), what it looks like, what it produces, and how we can strengthen it. Diverse backgrounds and viewpoints are celebrated: we are enriched by it! This month we're discussing...
Faith
Faith is a relationship of trust. It is believing in the reality of Grace. We are confident that our life has a purpose. We believe in ourselves knowing that our life has a purpose. We believe in ourselves, knowing we were created with love. Faith is the wind in the sails of our dreams. It gives us the strength to go on, not succumbing to doubt, fear or hopelessness. As we move forward, we are guided to the right path without having to make it happen. Even in the most trying times, we are open to miracles.
“It is with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.” Antoine De Saint Exupery, The Little Prince
“The essence of faith is fewness of words and abundance of deeds….” ~Baha’u’llah

I trust that my life has meaning.
I am prayerful in all times and conditions.
I make discerning decisions.
I allow faith to guide my course.
I am receptive to wonders.
I am thankful for the gift of Faith. It blesses me always.
