I’m Between Prayers.
Submitted by: Belkis & Luis - complete believers
Lakeland FloridaI started reading "new age" spiritual books over 25 years ago and learning to change my worries into positive affirmations. My husband only reads sports books and documentaries but every time I read something that felt good to me, I would tell him about it and what I learned.
O September 11, 2001, I gave my 19 year old daughter specific directions to find her way to Gristedes, the supermarket where they had transferred her to near the World Trade Center. I told her to walk by the side of the WTC and she would find the supermarket.
I was walking to work, and it was a beautiful, blue sky, and sunny day. As I was about to enter my job, my husband called me and asked if I had heard. Of course, I said no and he proceeded to tell me about a plane crashing into the WTC.
I exclaimed, “OMG!”!
Then it hit me. I had sent my daughter to that area that morning! I started hysterical crying! I called her and there was no service, no answer. I ran out of my job and started walking with no destination in mind, just crying. I stopped in front of St. Jerome Catholic Church, went in, and prayed to God to save my daughter, and for her to be ok. I only heard silence, a deep, calming silence that I did not understand.
I felt a deep peace in that silence. I stated to myself, “What does this mean? Is she gone, is she safe?” Once she was able to reach me hours later, I understood it was God/the Universe’s silence. I was brought up Catholic and taught its teachings but I had never felt what I felt that day. I found God and the Universe that day.
I continued reading everything from Dr. Wayne Dyer, Sonia Choquette, and Rhonda’s books, The Secret, The Magic, and The Power, along with many others to enhance my life. And they did in so many ways.
Anyway, 18 years later I was retiring and decided to move to Florida. I started looking on Zillow months before I sold my New York City home. It took 6 months to sell our home and we closed on Monday, February 6, 2019. That day I found the house on Zillow that we had to have. I contacted the Realtor and gave her the info. She asked if I wanted to see any others. I really didn’t but sent her a list of 6 houses. I told her that I would be in Florida on February 8th, that Friday. I would land at 1 pm and I wanted to see that house with my husband at 2 pm. We arrived and as soon as we saw it I knew it was mine. I told the Realtor I had no need to see any other home. We made an offer, and later that evening the Realtor called and said someone made a cash offer. I was stunned. I told my husband, let’s offer $2000 more, and he agreed. I said to him to quickly go into his cell phone and change his address to this one. I did the same wherever my address still had the old NY address. We were looking at our cell phones, looking at our new address. I asked him if he felt like the home was ours and we both did. Hours later while pretending we were listening to a family member’s story, our Realtor called and said the house was ours! Thank you, thank you, thank you! We jumped up hugged each other and cried from happiness.
I have many stories like this but this one was our best one yet. I do affirmations, use vision boards, and meditate, and I know the Universe will provide us with our wants or needs. I appreciate my life every day and I have been in my home for 4 years!
Stay blessed and believe. Thanks for reading.
