Faith Can Move Mountains

Dear Meagan,

Last night Bre and I saw 'Now you see me' the movie about magicians robbing a bank. While the movie was great, there is one major thing I got from it....

La foi peut déplacer des montagnes

Which is French for, 'faith can move mountains.' While the movie claims it is a French expression I'm going to argue a little differently... I've heard the same idea from a different book written a loooong time ago :)

"Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." – Matthew 17:20

Straight from the mouth of J-E-S-U-S :) Faith is EVERYTHING, yes faith in Jesus but also faith in yourself.  As long as you believe you can accomplish anything, you can. As long as you believe you will be independent, self-sufficient, and motivated.... you will be! 

Here are some other GREAT quotes about faith from http://www.selfhelpdaily.com/quotes-about-faith/:

Fear knocked at the door. Faith answered. And lo, no one was there. – Author Unknown
Faith is knowing there’s an ocean because you have seen a brook. – William Arthur Ward

If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believeth. – Mark 9:23
I would rather err on the side of faith than on the side of doubt. – Robert Schuller
Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to. – George Seaton 

Strike from mankind the principle of faith and men would have no more history than a flock of sheep. – Mark Beltaire

So keep up your great work and keep going to Woodside :) Soon your faith will be so big that nothing will be able to stop you. How's that for kicking mAss? ;)

Love you!

XOXO,

Brooke
