Power of Faith Over Hope
By Micah Wheat | May 11, 2009
A chance that something desirable will happen or be possible. This is one definition of hope. This seems very stagnant to me though. I have always leaned towards hope as an idle though and not an action. I enjoy the verb faith, because faith is action. I am a big believer that if people are hoping for something, that it won’t happen. But if that same group of people put their faith and energy into that idea, that it will come true. This is related to all of the NATWC Member Programs and how the parents of the students enrolled in those program had faith in their child, the staff, and the chance of change.
If we are idle in how we want things to happen, then it won’t. Fairly basic line of thought, but true in the same sense. It is like “they” always say: if you want something in this world, go and get it. It is those parents faith in us and our faith in the Wilderness Counselor Certification process that has helped so many students become successful back into the society.
Kahlil Gibran once said that, “Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.” NATWC has its goals set and is actively moving forward to reaching those. This is the difference of faith versus hoping.
