After reading the article on “A Perfect Fit” from KCMCanada BVOV magazine<\/a>, one of the things that stood out to me most was Lesley\u2019s final words \u201cToday I know that God has called me to live with uncommon faith.\u201d<\/p>

That line hit me deeply. It\u2019s something I needed to be reminded of.<\/p>

What does uncommon faith really mean?
To me, it means trusting in God even when the circumstances make absolutely no sense. It\u2019s believing in His goodness in the middle of pain, confusion, and waiting. We all wrestle with doubt and fear, but uncommon faith is about holding onto hope and moving forward anyway.<\/p>

It reminds me of when God called Abraham to leave his home. Imagine the faith it took to walk away from everything familiar and go to a place he had never seen \u2014 a destination he didn\u2019t even know. He took bold action. He took a risk, trusting that God was leading him, even when most people wouldn\u2019t dare to take that first step.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

As humans, we love to plan. We crave structure and want to feel in control. But in my experience, God\u2019s ways are rarely what we expect. The Bible reminds us that His plans are not our plans \u2014 they\u2019re higher, better, and sometimes\u2026 mysterious.<\/p>

Even Proverbs puts it beautifully:
\u201cMany are the plans in a person\u2019s heart, but it is the Lord\u2019s purpose that prevails.\u201d \u2013 Proverbs 19:21<\/p>

We\u2019re often overwhelmed by fear and doubt. But if God created the entire universe in just six days, can\u2019t He take care of the little (and big) things in our lives too?<\/p>

Sometimes we forget the miracles He\u2019s already done \u2014 both in Scripture and in our own lives. It\u2019s like we want Him to prove Himself again before we trust Him. But often, He\u2019s just asking us to take that next step, reminding us that He\u2019s walking with us through it all.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u00a0Too often, our relationship with God becomes transactional:
\u201cGod, if you do this for me, then I\u2019ll believe You.\u201d
But what if we flipped that?
What if we trusted Him first? What if we took the leap, believing that He will catch us?<\/p>

If we can trust the cars we drive or the phones we use every day, why do we struggle to trust the Creator of the universe?<\/p>

Yes, it\u2019s scary \u2014 but it\u2019s also what makes the journey beautiful.
It\u2019s time we look upward.
It\u2019s time we recognize who He is and how magnificent His creation is.
It\u2019s time to live with uncommon faith.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I felt the Lord was saying to me, live each day like when manna is given from heaven, a gift only for that day. \u00a0Tomorrow, pray that new grace will be provided. This started to change my perspective in life. \u00a0Before my cancer, I was more of a saver than a spender. I placed priority on excelling at work. My thinking when planning for the future was similar to the Parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12:13-21). If I lived 100 years with that mindset, I would have missed countless opportunities for the glory of God to be demonstrated and experienced. God slowly changed me to start focusing on Him and appreciating just being alive for the day and appreciating all the blessings in my life. My problems became smaller. His glory became greater. \u00a0The journey had ups and downs with many stumbles over the past 24 years. During that time, I had a second cancer surgery in 2005, a third surgery in 2014, and a fourth in 2015. Each one was more complicated than the one before. I knew that statistically, my chances for a cancer free future decreased each time.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10057,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[258],"tags":[787,788,786,314,785,792,795,789,794,784,783],"class_list":["post-10053","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-for-thoughts","tag-christianliving","tag-continuousimprovement","tag-everydaylessons","tag-faith","tag-faithinaction","tag-fuelforthesoul","tag-hearinggod","tag-learningthroughlife","tag-lifeanddeath","tag-prayerstrategy","tag-spiritualgrowth"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/milkandhoneysolutions.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WechatIMG51.jpg?fit=1280%2C2284&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/milkandhoneysolutions.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/milkandhoneysolutions.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/milkandhoneysolutions.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milkandhoneysolutions.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milkandhoneysolutions.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10053"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/milkandhoneysolutions.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10053\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10070,"href":"https:\/\/milkandhoneysolutions.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10053\/revisions\/10070"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milkandhoneysolutions.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10057"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/milkandhoneysolutions.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10053"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milkandhoneysolutions.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10053"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milkandhoneysolutions.ca\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
