Do you spend time making things more complicated than they need to be because you have placed your faith in unloving thinking?<\/p>\n

Faith is an aspect of consciousness. \u00a0What you choose to hold dear will bear fruit. \u00a0Take today to practice placing your faith in the miraculous. \u00a0In the unending, all powerful, cycle of nature to produce the most glorious bounty. \u00a0Lose your attachment to the way things are unfolding and engage the muscle of truth of that which is in us but not of us, that does for us that which we can not.<\/p>\n

Life is a dual expression. \u00a0There is light and there is dark. \u00a0There are two sides to each idea and two sides to every story. \u00a0When we let ourselves embrace the mystery, that beyond and within this is the full expression of God’s work. \u00a0Faith is enacted.<\/p>\n

This past year has been a challenging period in my life. \u00a0Change was not an abstract, it was a daily roller coaster of which every hour required a miracle and every day I woke up\u00a0without any knowledge of what the day would bring. \u00a0Everything I tried to figure out didn\u2019t work and on every level I was only left with a practice of faith that what looked like complete and utter failure and confusion was not the truth. \u00a0I had to hold to my faith that the center of the wheel of fortune never changes while the wheel goes round and round as I continued to take each step forward.<\/p>\n

Faith is the belief in that which we can not see.\u00a0 It is the truth that in stepping into your life fully entrusted to God, doors will open where we thought there were walls, people we don\u2019t know and have never met will show up with their heart open igniting the flame of our efforts into the grandness of that unified field. \u00a0There isn\u2019t much else to say about all the fabulousness that takes place in this practice of faith. There isn\u2019t \u00a0anything to do in this space of transformation where you are waiting for that instant of complete amalgamation in the alchemical process where everything gives over to that new elemental creation. \u00a0Enjoy today in the faithfulness of each moment, remembering you are held and you are whole and you are most certainly loved.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And then let us arise and go in faith along the way to Him.
\nNow we are sure we do not walk alone.
\nFor God is here, and with Him all our brothers.
\nNow we know that we will never lose the way again. \u00a0— ACIM<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n

Faith will see you through.\u00a0 Have faith that the energy that showcases an awesome power day in and day out in a million ways and a million miracles has your back.\u00a0 Give it over.<\/p>\n

May the truth of your expression blaze forth with each breath you take reminding you to fiercely answer the call of your being. To connect to your source. To live fully in the light of the truth and to reflect the beauty that lies waiting alertly and brilliantly for your faith to sing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lots of Love,<\/p>\n
