Faith is the Trying of the Thing You Do Not See

Inspired by the following passage from George MacDonald’s Unspoken Sermons:
Faith is the trying of the thing that you do not see, and that you cannot be sure about, a thing that you do not see and not seeing, you have doubt about, you can yet try–that is faith; and if you are honest, that will be a great opportunity and a great help; it will start a fresh faith which you have not thought of before, and give your life a new start.
About Christi
I am a single mother with two young daughters who are the world to me. I am a philosophy professor, especially fond of Kierkegaard and Augustine. Presently, I teach as an adjunct at a plethora of colleges in the Houston area, trying to make ends meet.
Creating art brings me immense joy, but only recently have I begun to venture into the arena of making my creations a consumer commodity. I'd rather my work be created as a good in itself, and given to those I love. But necessity breeds invention, they say, and human beings have to eat.
