Not Being Specific Created Blessing
Submitted by: Elizabeth B.
Little Rock, ARBorn in California in 1957, raised in Arkansas. 2 years of college, worked most of my life as a secretary or support staff person. I am married and raising an adopted 11 year old boy.
I know from The Secret that we must get down and get specific about what we want. I will start by telling you of some conscious thoughts and specific requests that manifested for me.
99% of the time I park upfront everywhere I go. My friends are now aware of this and laugh but they are still walking up from way across the parking lot to join me in the restaurant!
In 2014 I was miserable in my job, so I put a note on my calendar on September 29th that only I knew the meaning, “Today is the day!” It was the day I decided I would be giving my notice because I got a better job.
It did not happen on that exact date, it happened on October 10th! I am at my new position and thriving!
Okay, here’s the biggie:
I was physically unable to have children. I am now 57 years old and recently married. My husband and I have said numerous times that we wish we had a child together, how wonderful that would have been. Unexpectedly, through a series of terrible misfortunes for my 10 year old step-grandson from a previous marriage, we now have full guardianship of him.
His mother, who was a drug addict, only allowed me to see him on and off since his birth. When my grandson was 8 years old, she called me to come get him and my step-granddaughter one Saturday afternoon to spend the night, then took her own life. His father is a drug addict too, and tried to take care of him, but they became homeless and he left him with a drug dealer.
It took me a while to find where he was living. My husband and I decided to do whatever it would take to gain custody of him.
Several months later, it hit me like a ton of bricks! Together we are now raising the child we asked for!
