As Advent comes to a close, I've been reflecting on the fourth and final theme: peace. To me, peace is a result of assurance and trust. It's often quiet, still, silent.

Faith
Writing about faith is not a simple task; it feels hard and ethereal. There are so many verses, thoughts, and opinions on faith.
