Departure on Faith by CajunValkyrie
1 part Complete
The Egyptian woman Merneith, having witnessed the devastating plagues that struck Egypt, felt a deep stirring within her heart. As she saw the power of the God of Israel manifest in ways that defied the might of her homeland's deities, her spirit was moved towards a faith she had never known. Each plague, from the water turning to blood to the darkness that enveloped the land, only solidified her growing belief that the God of the Israelites was supreme. As the final and most harrowing plague swept through Egypt, claiming the lives of the firstborns, she saw the stark contrast between her stricken people and the protected Israelites. In the midst of her sorrow, she found a glimmer of hope in the God who had spared His own. Her heart, heavy with the weight of what she had witnessed, yearned for the peace and protection she saw among the Israelites. When the Israelites were finally set free by Pharaoh's decree, the woman made a bold decision. She left behind her life in Egypt, her home, and all that she had known. Her faith propelled her to join the Israelites on their journey out of bondage and toward a promise she barely understood but deeply longed for. As she traveled with the Israelites, she faced the same uncertainties and challenges that they did. Crossing the Red Sea, wandering in the wilderness, and relying on divine provision, her faith grew stronger. She found a new community and a new identity among the people of Israel, united by a common faith in the God who had shown His power and mercy. Through her journey, she became a testament to the transformative power of faith. Her story echoed through the generations as a reminder that God's call transcends boundaries and that His grace is available to all who seek it.

There were only two things Summer knew about Christians: that they were hypocrites, and that she wanted nothing to do with them or the God they worshiped. When she is urged to attend a support group led by a local church, the last thing she wants to do is get involved, certainly not with its parishioners. Then she meets Sebastian. A member of the church, Sebastian is a Christian in every sense of the word, with a painfully optimistic outlook on life- even though he is dying of cancer. Despite Summer's animosity towards God, she takes a liking to Sebastian and his "bizarre" Christian behavior. Though neither of them believes in love at first sight, something quickly brews between them as Sebastian makes it his life's mission to show her how a true follower of Christ is meant to be, and help her rekindle her forsaken faith. However, as his health deteriorates, they are forced to realize that it takes more than a little faith to stand against death. Sometimes, it takes a belief in miracles.
