For me, understanding our "walk in faith" is a personal mission.
When my parents named me "Faith," they set me on a personal quest to understand God. My search has been a journey of forgiveness, grace and trusting in the unseen.
We never walk alone and we were never meant to. The Lord gave us the companionship of His son and one another. I have come to value the importance of making space for all ages to know Christ as Lord and walk as friends on life's journey.
