BELIEVE

I only bought one new decoration for this Christmas season. We have outgrown our home and my decorations have tried to take over. I am personally tired of all the clutter, not only in my home but also in my mind. It is funny how the two things work together. I spent most of Wednesday cleaning out clutter and getting my house ready for a special guest. I found myself reflecting on how far I have come. I think we need those times because we seem to get stuck in where we are today and where we want to be. It seems like such a far away place and at times not possible. I love what God's word says about WITH GOD ALL THINGS POSSIBLE!!! Wish I knew where that was in the Bible but I don't and its ok. I am learning to accept me for me. All my imperfections and weaknesses come with me. The great thing is I don't have to focus on those areas, I don't even really have to put any extra time and energy in them because that is the uniqueness about how God made me. I have always thought I had to read books, take classes and work on my weaknesses which continued to make me feel less than and inadequate. So, what would happen if we poured our energy and time into those areas that we excelled at and are good at? We would move a 8 to a 10 and we would feel pretty darn proud! Most times we try to move those 2 and 3 to a 4 or 5. Guess what they will always be a 5 if that is just an area of weakness. I know it sounds and seems crazy at first. My prayer is that God will give you a revelation for yourself. I'm not saying we should never work on the areas we struggle with but don't put all your eggs in one basket.  Doing this blog is a great example for  my life. I love love love to write and journal and encourage others. So, I am directing all that into writing these blogs for you. Great thing is I too am benefiting. You will see many typo errors and probrably many made up words if you stick with me. That is humbling for myself. I have figured what the deal is becasue I do proof read. But every time I read what I type I change something. Therefore I'm left with more errors. I also have realized that  my fingers aren't able to keep up with my brain. lol I have so much swirling around that I don't have the time nor patience to share it all. So, at times I probrably won't finish my thought and you will be left wondering. I love the encouragement and support I have already gotten from you guys. It has motivated and encouraged me to continue on sharing. Sometimes we wonder if we are really making any difference in others lives. I was doing this for me and lookie lookie you too get to benefit. lol

On with my point right...BELIEVE....

So, this is what was written on the Christmas canvas I bought for my home.  I have decided to not pack this away. It will hang up in my home as a reminder of my beliefs. I love what it says and I hope you will enjoy it too.

I Believe because of my faith in the word of God.
I am believing for deeper healing in my life and financial breakthrough.
I Belive in God the Creator and Maker of the Universe.
I also BELIEVE God has a purpose and plan for my life that I am unraveling daily.
