I
am a woman of faith. My strength alone
is incapable of handling the challenges
of life. I depend on my beliefs
as a Christian to stand confidently and walk assuredly through
difficulties. Built on Nothing Less is
the first piece in the “Profiles of Courage” Series.
The
human face is intriguing. A lifetime of
stories are hidden within its contours. The eyes are the window to the
soul. Unfortunately in our fast paced,
high tech lives we neglect opportunities to look at each other face to
face. Instead, we glance upon profiles
of heads bowed to electronic devices. A
person's profile provides limited insight into her psyche. When you only have access to her profile, you
must depend on other clues to determine what is going on within her. "Profiles in Courage" examines these clues.
Built on Nothing Less is the story of a mother totally submitting to
a higher power to handle the concerns of her heart and mind. Hidden within her flowing locks are the
images of a broken community. Written on
her mind are her concerns about joblessness, crime, and foreclosures. But she is undergirded by a warm, all
encompassing energy. Her head and eyes
are lifted toward the source of this energy.
Her hands are folded in submission as she appeals for the deliverance of
her family and community, because she knows with faith, hope, and love comes
peace. Her future is built on nothing
less than this.
