Faith is a brisket
You do your best to select the most suitable cut you can find
You summon its power through a recipe passed down from your ancestors
Put on the lid and cast it into darkness, and the unknown.
Faith is a brisket
It will test your patience, your will, your trust
It will feel like something is not working, that things are not progressing
There will be a point where you wonder if it will ever come through for you.
Faith is a brisket
You feel like maybe you have cast your deepest hopes on the wrong star
You worry if you will need to alter or even call off your plans
And then there it is, ready when it is ready, and not a moment before.
Faith is a brisket
Trust the process
Check in often
And it will come through for you.
Faith is a brisket
It will get us through the dark times
The heated moments and uncertainty of what awaits us.
We are not done yet.
