Faith

Lately, I've been noticing that I am hearing a lot about faith.  In particular, there was a quote that I heard from Martin Luther King Jr.: Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase...
During my high school days, every year on MLK day, we had to go to school.  However, we didn't have our regular classes...it was an entire day filled with learning about the equal rights movements during the time of MLK.  We watched heart wrenching videos of blacks getting tortured, listened to speakers talk to our school and watched the popular speech of Martin Luther King Jr.  At the time, I wasn't always in to being there, but today I am glad for the education I had during 6 years of MLK days I had when I was at Baylor.   Anyways, so to hear the quote by MLK it makes me realize that he must really know what faith is like.  I mean, he REALLY went through some hard times!  Even death!  Alot like a lot of other Christian followers went through for living out their faith.
I am in awe of people who go through something and through faith come out stronger.  You can see it in their character and in their faces.  So, thanks MLK jr. for showing us what that looks like.  You spoke up for what you knew was the truth.
