Word Magic

 Believe is the word for this week.

What do you think of when you use or hear the word Believe?

Description I found online:

    be·lieve
    verb:   accept (something) as true; feel sure of the truth of.
     
    Yes, I accept/believe a lot of things, but still I question too. 
    When I think of the word believe I think:
    Do I believe in Santa Claus or in fairies?
    Do I believe in the power of the super-natural?
    Do I believe in magic?

    Certainly I want to believe in each of these things, but yet there are times of doubt and times when I say "wait, what?"

    In asking my son what he thought of the word believe he said "it comes from a vulnerable place", much like trust and hope.

    Still it is a word I like wrapping my mind around to the point where I hang the above ornaments on my Christmas tree and have large letters on my office wall that say Believe.
     
    So this week I am embracing Believe and paying attention to what I believe.
    If you are spiritual, believe shows up a lot in scripture.
    We are inspired to believe in miracles and answered prayers. 
     
    This year I started a journal where I write down things I am praying about.
    I think at the end of the year I will need to review those prayers and notice what my believing in prayer brought forth. 
     
    I am going to believe for this week that you have a totally terrific week.
    Sending love to each of you!
