During this recession we're in, it's so easy to get caught up in the worry of day to day living. Everyone around me was losing their jobs, homes, etc. Of Course, including myself. But, I was determined not to let myself get caught up in the negative whirlwind. I have a strong faith that God will not leave us nor forsake but for whatever reason I got sidetracked and sometimes put the belief down.
I was asking God to bless me with the gift in believing... All you have to do is BELIEVE! All it takes is faith the size of a mustard seed.
POSITIVE THINKING: I grew up with this method of thinking. I do worry, but at the end of the day, I know things will always work out the way I want them to. Even when I find myself stressed about money, I have this unshakeable belief that every dime I need will always be there - and miraculously, it always is.
I was convincing my husband that he also needs to believe as a the way I used to believed. My husband paid attention too, and was dumbfounded with my "ability." I kept stressing that it wasn't an ability, it was simply a natural law, and that he could very well do it too.
Last year, he came to believe.
About 8 months ago, We shifted in to a very small partition. The space is not even enough for us to stretch our legs. It was a very small place for four people. Well, we have no choice as My husband was miserable in his job too.
For 8 months , we lived in that place. It was a secured place, but 23 people in one household? Guaranteed stress. My husband and I knew we had to get out, but with his new low-paying job and my teaching career just beginning, we didn't know how we could afford a room or villa.
I was also being very particular. I wanted to live in a specific place, filled with beautiful new homes, some big, some small. My husband entertained the idea of going back to our home country, but I resisted. I wanted to stay in this country wherein we experienced the fall, and I wouldn't take no for an answer.
!
Everytime I close my eyes, I usaully imagine a wonderful room where we can sleep comfortibly. I really made it to a point that I will not close my eyes visualising the spacious room where we can be shifted before the end of the year.
On one afternoon, a friend told me a vacant room in one of his villas- My husband and I agreed to see it. I realised that it is located in that same place I loved.It was a gorgeous little room, with a big yard, perfect for our small family. It was also being offered for 3,200 AED/per month and mind you this is less than the most inexpensive home in that place.
Still, the price was about 1600 AED more than what we could afford comfortably. We can only budget such amount for accomodation. No more no less--- My friend told me, "Bid what you can - what have you got to lose?" Talk to owner and lay your situation. We found ourselves talking to him and would you believe that he instantly agreed and even told us to find another couple to help shoulder the rental fee. For the meantime, I can pay half until I can find somebody to share with the rental fee.
Suddenly, we were in our new home.
Enjoying the Christmas Seasons...
We are so grateful for every wonderful thing that happens in our lives. I know that it's such a simple concept. Ask, believe, and receive. We live and breathe This Secret every day - we live in it, we drive it, we work out with it.
A room picnic! hehehe
