Leap of Faith

So, in a bold move, I just wrote myself a check for $100,000 in US currency.

Why?

Because one day, one day, one day, I will be able to cash that check for myself. It's in a safe place, a really safe place. At least, a place I deem to be safe. One day I will look back on this day and shed tears of joy because I will look around and see the list in my "faith notebook" filled with completed goals. And I will smile, my husband will hug me tightly and my children will be somewhere in the house behaving. And we'll all be blessed!!

Motivation for faith is key. And sometimes, you just don't feel like it. It's so much easier to reason that as long as you have enough to pay your bills, or keep food on the table, or a mediocre job, or a mediocre relationship with God, then that is enough. Is it enough to live hand to mouth check to check? Is it enough for me to wonder whether or not I will be able to keep my electricity on, or to have to decide between my telephone and my water? Is it enough for me to only speak in tongues and not be able to cast out demons or heal the sick? I think not.

It's not enough to sit back and take those things that inconvenience me (or you). I shouldn't have to wear Wet 'n' Wild when I can wear MAC, Bobbi Brown, or even Covergirl.

Today is the day that you and I begin to work on our minds. Let's not stay defeated in any area of our lives. Most people think that it only possible to be blessed in one way or the other. While I'm not saying that you gotta be rich to be saved, you should be the lender not the borrower...but how can you lend if you don't have anything? How can you provide shelter for someone if you can barely keep your house? Where are our priorities where our clothes and cars cost more than our homes?

In the end, I am just trying to cash this check that I have in this safe place and do the dern thing.

'Tis All.
