Chapter 3 – Faith
Faith: To hold steadfast that we will receive from the Lord what we NEED…not necessarily what we want…and feel content with that.
Faith: To know that even when we are feeling low, that we will never be lead astray from the Lord.
Faith: To love the Lord UNCONDITIONALLY especially when things in our life turn upside down which in and of itself is nothing more than another test from God.
Faith: To hold the ability to continue moving forward with our goals and desires after a short period of feeling low which we all have a right to.
Faith: To know and always hold in our hearts that the Lord ALWAYS has our best interest at heart.
Faith: To be patient and know that God will deliver what we need on HIS watch. Not on ours since he knows “when” it is best for us to receive our desires.
A quote from the Holy Bible – “Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.” ~ Psalm 37:4
I do not struggle with my religious beliefs as I’m a devout Christian. I do, however, struggle from day-to-day with doubts if I am doing what God has called me to do. I have epilepsy for a reason and am home-bound for a reason. And being home-bound as far as I have experienced, is not conducive to being successful in the businesses I have tried so far. Am I being impatient? Absolutely! Am I wanting results yesterday? Absolutely as money in my world is only a conduit to what I truly want to achieve. It (money) is essentially a “tool” to get me from point A to point B. And most of my goals that require lots of money are to serve God. IE: To donate my time to St Jude’s hospital and hand out toys on Christmas Day and give the parents a break. To buy and serve food in a food kitchen on Thanksgiving day. To give my time to animal shelters across the U.S. and donate ionized water units to shelters that see the value. (These units are $4,000.00 each.) In order to attain / give back, I need to acquire lots of money. I do NOT hold a passion for my business. I hold a passion for the things I want to do after becoming successful in my business which can bring me monetary wealth. To reiterate…money is a conduit for me. Nothing more. I am not about the 2 million dollar mansion, Rolex watch or Maserati. Yes…I have personal desires such as a custom home. In fact, that’s my biggest personal goal as far as expenses are concerned and I do not believe that will be a million dollar home. My biggest personal will not cost me a dime and that is to get married.
So back to Faith. Do I have unwavering Faith that I will succeed in my business? I don’t know? I can’t say I do only because of my personal circumstances. I work on my personal development every day and work over 60 hours a week on my business. But I find myself spinning my wheels. So I continue to pray daily and hold the Faith that my goals, dreams and desires, both personal and philanthropically, (to give back), will come to fruition.
