Faith can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. My faith means a whole lot to me; your faith should mean a whole lot to you. No matter whom or what your faith is in.

I know this:
I have faith in God...not a god or a religion.

I have faith in my family...I am so blessed to have a family that loves me no matter what happens in my life.

I have faith in myself...which is something that I've recently realized. I've made some REALLY stupid mistakes in my life, my mear quarter of a century that I have been on earth. I have faith in myself that I will make plenty more! I am not perfect, I am human. I was made in the image of God, but I am not God. I cannot control what happens in life, but I can continue to have faith in everything that I do.

And it's amazing what peace you can have when you know you have your Faith.
