Are you disappointed in a number?
It might be a really important number, such as too high (or low) for blood pressure. Or it could be an out-of-control cholesterol reading. Or maybe a scary tumor marker number.
Or those numbers could be great, but the real stress begins when you realize the numbers on your bills are higher than the number you see in your checkbook.
Sometimes do you feel like you are overwhelmed with numbers, like you have been sort of beaten up by them?
Those are the times when it is most important to not give up on your faith. Faith is the strong belief that everything will work out for your good even when the physical evidence points to the contrary. It challenges us to imagine other numbers, good numbers, exciting numbers.
It reminds us that numbers can change, and often do so in the next hour, day, month. It tells us that real life is about more than numbers.
Today, focus on the numbers you want to see. Have faith that this will be your reality soon. I have faith in you.
