"This I Believe..." essay....

This is an essay I wrote for my Field 2 class...............

“This I Believe”

My name is Amy and I believe in a God who knows me most, loves me best, and walks through life with me. Because of Him, I believe my life is the smaller story piece in a larger story canvas. I see the weaknesses and strengths intermingling in me and I believe in myself. I believe in my dreams, a future beyond what I could imagine and a life lived in love for people. I genuinely love people and choose to believe the best in the world. I have been hurt deeply and heartbroken and yet I believe in the beauty and greatness of people.

I believe in excellence in each moment. I believe in adventure. I believe that brussel sprouts and cookie butter with celery is equally delicious as sea salt caramel gelato. I see the brokenness in our world and I also see and believe the world is full of awe, wonder, and gloriousness and that it can inspire too.
I believe in true love and a whimsical feeling that takes you beyond yourself soaring across the sky. And I also believe that love has to be fought for and it is worth fighting for.

I am a realistic girl and a dreamer. I believe you can be both. Celebrating a sunny, crisp fall day as the autumn leaves dance in the wind as you engage in the messy lives of pain, trauma, and despair of so many. I believe in hope – in truth – in joy.
