Faith: Believing Without Seeing

Today is an exciting day because…I’m launching a tee! This has been a fun and extremely unpredictable journey. Let me explain…

As most of you know, I am of lover of all things captioned tees. Many of you have even encouraged me in my blogging journey to produce my own shirts. And while that seemed like a very cool idea, it was also very intimidating.

Fast forward to February 2020, when life looked a lot more “normal.” I sat down with a friend and planned out this release. Ok…here it goes! I settled on March 17th. That would give me plenty of time to write a blog about my release, order a test shirt and plan my social posts – it was going to be perfect. Little did I know that this was the same time when COVID-19 would strike the world and alter my “perfect” plans.

I definitely questioned whether I should go through with this launch in the midst of this pandemic. And everything I asked myself was a salute to fear and not my faith. This outbreak certainly highlighted the truth about life. Life is unpredictable and unknown and I don’t even know how my tomorrow looks. What I do know is, I trust a God who does. And that’s faith.

Faith truly is believing with seeing. Over the past several weeks, I’ve meditated on what it looks like to truly surrender my future to God. I don’t know what my future holds and honestly, it’s too big for me to hold. That’s where my faith steps in and I can move forward in trusting in God.

Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."

Fun facts about the tee: The dots are Braille font and reads “faith.” I actually designed this for a tattoo and thought it was perfect for my first shirt. Huge shoutout to my husband, Najee Rashad and his awesome photog skills. Couldn’t do this without him!
