Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Do you believe in miracles? I do and I am believing in faith that miracles will happen for me and my family this year. What do you want to believe and what do you hope for?
I made this cat today and it carries a message for you who are reading it. Yes miracles happen. They happen everyday really. There are big miracles and small miracles.
When I was little I used to go in and out of the hospital every month because I've had an asthma attack. Once I get a cold, it progresses to a hospital stay, no fail. The nurses would even say "Brave girl!" when they put the dextrose on my arm because I didn't get scared. I was so used to it.
But one day, my mother's heart swelled up and spilled over with faith she got from going to a prayer meeting. I felt the sniffles coming on and told her. She prayed over me for a while and afterwards said with conviction "You will go to school tomorrow." I didn't really believe it.
True enough, I did go to school the next day, and I've never had an asthma attack ever. I always remember this when I hug our cat so tightly, knowing that God healed me so I could enjoy life and share that miracles happen everyday to so many of us.
I am the type of person who when faced with a blank paper with a dot on it, I'd focus on the dot and try my best to erase it rather than marvel at the predominantly clean page. Hopefully 2012 brings a change to all that and make me see more of the white than the black in life.
What's your one word?
Blessings!

Thinking of my one word for 2012 as a {Faith Dare}from Faith Barista blog, I thought of the word "Encourage" because I want to do it this year.
