"2008 Is Gonna Be Great!"

"2008 is gonna be great!" Corny saying but it is true, for me. I believe that we can attract the things in our life that we want, by choosing to believe in the things that we want for our future.

This is actually based in biblical truth, as the word of God tells us in Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen". So we choose to believe in what we can't see, knowing that having faith will bring these hopes to reality.

Many people have been fascinated by "The Secret". The principle is that the law of attraction is at work in our lives. If you really believe something about your life, about your future, you bring it to pass, either through your positive or negative thoughts.

What you choose to believe about 2008 is going to be what 2008 is for you. I choose to believe that 2008 is going to be a phenomenal year for me, and I believe it so much, that I have my family members walking around the house saying "2008 is gonna be great!"

You cannot listen to the negativity that goes on inside your head, and expect your year to be any different, much less your next week. Stop listening to the negative, we have enough of that in our every day lives, and we dodge the negativity bombs as much as possible.

I choose to believe that this will be my best year EVER.

I choose to believe that "2008.....is gonna be great!"

The song I chose to share in this post is called the "The Voice Of Truth" by Casting Crowns. I hope you enjoy it, and I look forward to hearing about how 2008 turned out for you. I know I'll look forward to sharing how mine turned out, and referring to this post!

I chose to believe the same thing. Because I know that my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Merry Christmas, Alecia! 2008 is going to be a GREAT year!

Alecia-Hello my dear friend. I made it here and I love you my sister. Look at you, posting this wonderful feeling that you have in your heart and one that we all need to be apart of. You are such an inspiration of truth and light. You amaze me and God amazes me as well at the bond our hearts have. This song is one that I had come across just prior to talking to you on the phone and look at you, putting this with the addition of your beautiful words. 2008 IS GONNA BE GREAT!!!

Keep your beautiful children sharing that optimism everyday. I can feel it from Oregon to Utah. I send you much love and gratitude for your friendship.
