I've got the power

Its old news that I'm snowed in again, but its noteworthy to make mention just how snowed in I really am. When last I checked, we had about 26" of the white stuff. That is a "HEAP" of snow. Obviously I've got a little time on my hands and I started thinking and decided I needed to make an entry on my blog. I thought to myself, I haven't really discussed the reason I'm blogging.

I'm planning to take a trip to Greece this summer. I'm going to help my good girlfriend Jacqui celebrate a big birthday. I'd like to lose weight and to be comfortable enough financially to justify such an extravagance. Either of those is a tall order but both is another thing all together. I say all that to say, I'm excited, but not certain I'll be able to pull it off.

Now I know that I must: believe to receive, speak that thang, keep my eye on the prize, reward myself, know tomorrow is not promised, stay focused, stay positive, believe in myself, believe in the Lord, believe if I praise enough or pray enough, I'll be fine. I know all of that and I could've added much more to the list. BUT, walking in what you know is the trick. Like many people want credit for the fact that I know. The truth is,it takes more than knowing, I have to live it out in my thoughts, in my attitude and in my actions.

Thought is where it starts. My blog helps me stand back and look at what I think or believe. If I really believe it believing is power. Believing is power! The fight is not against chocolate or the bills and obligations, but we are asked to fight the good fight of faith. It's work to continue to believe in spite of...In any fight you want the power. The power is in believing.
