Continue Believing....Even if it looks like Nothing's happening

And now, a moment of inspirational motivation.......

Whether or not  you believe in God (and I very definitely do), you probably have a pull in your life; a little voice that sits inside your soul and tells you that it's all going to be okay.  You might have an idea of a goal you want to achieve or something in your life that you'd like to see changed in the future.  Maybe you want a car that runs better or a house where your kids don't share bedrooms.  Maybe you want a better job or to go back to school.  Maybe you want to build a business or maybe you want to lose weight.  This little voice is telling you that you can do it and that you just have to keep trying.

So what happens when you're trying you're best and nothing appears to be happening?

The wonderful thing about this great big world is that things aren't always what they seem.  The river that looks peaceful on the surface is raging underneath.  The volcano that looks to be calm is bubbling under the surface, ready to begin spewing smoke and lava.  Though it appears to be stagnant in your life on some level, it's not.  God is doing something wonderful underneath the surface and you're about to see greatness.  Truly amazing things are coming to you!

I have been praying over the same things for years, in some cases, and I wake up every morning with a hopeful heart.  I thank God for what I have already (because someone, somewhere is wishing they had things as "bad" as you think they are) and for what is yet to come.  Then I pray...and I pray BIG.  Go big or go home!  Pray for greatness and God will give you greatness!

All of this may seem ridiculous and you may be rolling your eyes but I challenge you to this much: try it for 30 days.  Every single day, wake up with a hopeful heart and thank God for what you have.  Pray for what you'd like to see happen.  If, after thirty days, your heart does not feel hopefully and joyous, despite the circumstances, you can make the decision to stop.  My belief, though, is that you'll feel different.  You'll feel hopeful, no matter what's happening.  You are going to achieve great things in 2015.  Believe.
