Hold on, just one minute more!

Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's cabin, knew the value of faith.   She was born into a family which reeked of faith  (sometimes that is not a good thing!) and President Lincoln reportedly said that her book set off a fire of inequality which culminated in the Civil War.  So she also knew the value of doing something to ignite your faith.  Now, that is a winning combination.

But I like her quote:  "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn."   Faith is having the strength to take another step even when you think that it might be futile!  What have you got to lose....that you are not already losing?

Just take it!  And let go of all your reservations about making it happen!  You have screwed it up so badly, already, that the Lord may prefer to give it to someone who had no idea that he/she was being used of Him!

Thanks, Harriet, for your insight and your diligence in staying with the book and the faith!
