Sitting on the Fence
Submitted by: Kris S.
Minneapolis,Mn.I am a single 45 year old mother to six children working a full time job.
I have always thought that I was a positive thinker in my life, but once I read “The Secret”, I realized I was really ‘sitting on the fence’ and was not actually believing and having faith, I just thought I was.
I am a single mother of six, and have two teenagers boys left at home. One of the boys, Matthew, had been struggling with school and has been getting in trouble a bit.
I was trying to handle my job, my home, him, and trying to have enough money to pay all the bills. When you are a single mom, it is extemely difficult because you carry that burden alone.
I was exhausted, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Basically, I was ‘lost’ within myself and despair was setting in.
It felt like my life was at a ‘stand still’ and not going anywhere. I was being turned down for promotions at work and everything felt stagnant.
Then I heard about this book everyone was reading, “The Secret”.
I started reading, and immediately there was a different aspect of believing and receiving that opened up for me.
I realized I really was not believing that good things would happen for me. I was just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
I started to put the words into practice. When a negative feeling or thought would enter my mind, I would shift gears and think positive. I now play good thoughts over and over in my mind and believe in prosperity for myself and my children. I now believe in strength and happiness for my family. Good things started to happen almost within days.
I finally received a refund check that I was waiting for a long time. A boat we had been trying to sell for a long time finally sold that same week. I was able to pay some outstanding bills. I do not believe that this is coincidence.
I now recognize the negativity that I had been harboring and have released that. I feel like a weight has been lifted. I know I am a changed woman. I want to, and have been, sharing this good news with my friends and family.
I am truly blessed for reading this book and capturing the true meaning of faith. I am looking forward to the future and watching how many more great things are in store.
