Call upon Him, for Heaven is at His call. And let Him call on Heaven for you. -ACIM
I understood these words from A Course in Miracles after I experienced them. One Sunday afternoon after eating some homemade chicken enchiladas (healthy recipe even) I decided to take a nap. Well, I woke up with pain that I never experienced before. Long story short, I ended up having surgery and two hospital bills totalling a little over $17,000.00. For a single parent with no medical insurance, that was a big blow.
I tried to remain positive and worked vigilantly at it. I was by no means perfect; in fact a gnawing thought kept coming to me that I was failing miserably on my LOA attempts. Worry and anger also came to me every day, but I continually worked to brush it aside and tell myself that it will all be okay. I attempted to give my worry over to the Holy Spirit (Higher Power, The Universe, Inner Guide insert sign post that makes you happy).
I filled out the financial assistance papers that the had hospital provided, revealed all my assets, wrote a letter of explanation, and sent it off in the mail with little faith that anything significant would come of it. Like I said before, my faith was not perfect, it was quite the opposite. And like I said before too, I still remained vigilant whenever doubt, anger, or worry came into my mind, I made honest attempts to give them over to the Holy Spirit.
Long story short, $11,190.00 was forgiven. Id say that was a pretty significant return on the LOA I was practicing. It was shortly after that I read in A Course in Miracles how our faith and willingness need not be perfect, because His is. And it was my pitiful little willingness to rely on Him that brought my miracle the Law of Attraction.
So take heart! You dont have to be perfect in your faith, just be willing and vigilant to rely on His (your Higher Power, The Universe, Inner Guide insert sign post that makes you happy)!!
Cheers to all. Our time on Earth must be celebrated!
