Believe.

Last year over Christmas break I made the first permanent decision of my life... I got a tattoo! After much thought and lots of prayer I decided to get the word believe tattooed on my foot in a cursive print. I had initially thought that believe was appropriate because it means to have a firm religious faith. But now, a year later, the meaning of my tattoo has turned into so much more. Seeing believe on my foot so often has made me question what exactly it is that I have found to be true... so what is it that I believe? Hmm, let's see.

I believe-
Jesus has overcome the world , being silly makes you live longer , God's plan for us is bigger than the plan we have for ourselves,  everything happens for a reason, in giving second chances, even the smallest prayers are heard, experience makes us stronger, forgiveness is everything, true love does exist, God puts certain people in our lives for learning purposes, in taking chances, no person is better than the next, everyone deserves to love and be loved, laughter is the best medicine, what comes around goes around, a simple apology can make the biggest difference, and finally greater things are yet to come.

Maybe you agree, but maybe you don't. These are the things that I believe, the ideas that I am certain exist. But my opinion, well it's just one in a million. What do you believe in? What little reminders get you through your toughest days? What beliefs do you feel so strongly about that would be worth a permanent mark on your body? For me, it's all of the above.
