Tina Hazelwood remembers waiting for the school bus and sharing "everything I knew about Jesus Christ and the Bible" with her childhood friends. How does such childlike faith work? How did this faith of the mustard seed become the cornerstone of her life? In her testimony of a life of hardship and tragedy, she describes the struggles and challenges not as events responsible for breaking the faith, but as Faith Builders. Faith, according to Hazelwood, "is something that we have to experience and exercise to make it stronger, but I also believe we can learn how to exercise our faith by watching and learning from others." The Lord has blessed her with the vision to draw out the blueprints of her walk with Him and put into words the processes that, through His grace, have given her firm ground upon which to start constructing a faith-filled life.
