I think I should start all my posts with Bon Jovi lyrics. Admit
it – you’re humming the song now.
So anyway, the faith thing. Maintaining faith in an uncertain, and frankly, terrifying world is an ongoing challenge for me, and I suspect it will remain so until the day I die. It’s one of my major lessons in this lifetime, I’m led to believe. I’d prefer a karmic lesson that involved mastering pasta making, or perhaps flying a helicopter, but apparently these aren’t things that deeply satisfy the soul in the long term. (Boo!)
Anyway I digress (that happens, from time to time... you’ll get used to it). Lately I’ve been drawing the
‘abundance’ card in my angel card readings. I sigh, release my financial worries
to the universe, then wait for the moolah to roll in. If that doesn’t happen immediately,
I start to doubt. And that’s unhelpful – doubt is my kryptonite. But when my
faith is strong, new opportunities tend to pop into my peripheral vision. Boom! Perhaps
not in the way I had expected, but always there’s a solution.
I know I’m not the only one who struggles to keep the faith. After
all, if no one ever lacked faith, there would be no need to seek spiritual guidance,
and no need for me to offer angel card readings to people. We would be nicer,
happier and more successful than we can possibly imagine in this moment. Because
we would know that everything would be OK.
Guys here’s the thing: everything WILL be OK. It really will!
(I’m talking to myself as much as I am you.) I don’t know why it’s so hard to
remember this in times of strife, but I am committed to remembering, and
honouring, the power of keeping the faith. I’m also committed to listening to more Bon Jovi, and I would
suggest you do the same.
