In some ways I admire Aunt Helen's unwavering certainty in God's divine plan. It must be comforting, to have faith like that. To believe so concretely that there's someone–something–out there watching guard, keeping us safe, testing us only with what we can handle. I've never believed in anything the way Aunt Helen believes in God. Hannah Harrington
About This Quote

When your faith is strong, it means everything else around you is not as strong. It means you are able to handle the situations that come up in your life without falling into doubt or hesitation. Faith is the only thing that keeps Aunt Helen going despite her grief over her family's tragic end. She is able to see hope in all of this pain. She knows that God is watching over her and she has this belief that will keep her going even when she feels like giving up.
