"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)
Last year I had emergency surgery on my ears. And while the pain went away, there is still a really loud, constant ringing in my left ear.
Because of this ringing, I've had many sleepless nights. But one night in particular proved to be more than I thought I could handle. The screeching in my ear reached an all time high and not even medication helped. My throat tightened as frustration of this situation threatened to spill out in a million tears. I could feel myself slipping over a terrifying edge ... that edge where hopelessness steps into the moment and you feel too weak to resist it.
