.....Cycle Day 21....
On 11/1/11 I made a wish at 11:11am. I don't really believe in luck. I don't believe in wishes coming true. Yet I cross my fingers. I wish on a star. I may wear a four leaf clover, or carry a buck-eye. I always make a wish when I blow out my birthday candles. When you drive across a long bridge you hold your breath all the way and make a wish. I'm always learning of other ways you can make wishes. Like an eyelash! If you have a stray eyelash you can use that to make a wish! But do I really believe my fortune cookie will actually change anything in my life? No. No not really. I guess I feel that... It couldn't hurt? But now that I think about it... It does hurt. I mean... I know making wishes is fun. And doing things for luck can be fun. But in reality putting your faith in a dandelion is taking away that much faith from God, isn't it? And putting my faith into the time on the clock every day... Is again putting my faith in something other than God to make my hopes and dreams come true. What I really should be doing, instead of making a wish, is praying. I probably wish/hope for things to happen more than I pray/hope for them to come to pass.
I've come to realize that I am constantly crossing my fingers while making a wish for a certain something to happen. When I get a fortune cookie I twist whatever it says to benefit what I'm wanting. They are empty wishes, for I know that there is no power behind a wish, so in turn I know that wishing will not making anything happen. But praying? I don't pray very often. I know God is great and powerful and that He answers prayers! But I've never once felt that God will answer mine. So I'd rather have other people pray for me and hope that they have the faith in answered prayers.
As you can see my faith isn't very strong... Looking at the clock right now it is almost 11:11am. Again I am tempted to make a wish, it's habit. I think for now what I am going to try my best to do is that every time I am tempted to make a wish, or put my faith in luck, to instead pray to God. Luck and wishes will do me no good. God has the power to make things happen, putting my faith in Him is where it should always have been.
So in conclusion... lol. I shall not ask that you "wish me luck" but instead that you please "pray for me".
