C.S. Lewis

I was on Pinterest the other day, yes that’s right I love Pinterest (the online bulletin board), and ran across this beautiful quote.

I thought to myself, “C.S. Lewis – I’ve heard great things about this guy, maybe it’s time I read his stuff!”

This quote just really spoke to me.

“Faith is the art of holding on to things in spite of your changing moods and circumstances.”  

Hold on to it.  Decide today to live by faith!  Accept what obstacles, changes and circumstances come your way and choose to still have faith!  Because, what is this life without faith.  Maybe you aren’t a believer and your faith isn’t in God, but you have to have faith in something, if not, what is the purpose of your day?  What are you living for? What is at the end and was your life worth anything? What is holding you together?

Personally, I couldn’t survive without my faith in God.  When my moods are bad and my circumstances aren’t going as “I” would like them to go, the only thing that gets me through the day is the realization that I am here for something greater!  I am a part of something that is bigger than myself.  My faith in God is what holds me together.

My challenge is to read Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis.  It may sound easy to some but my dedication to reading is slim to none, but this I want, so here we go!
