From What If to So Be It

Think you can’t travel down the road of fear…..what if. . . to faith….so be it?
Think again! The distance from fear to faith is different for everyone – by choice. However, the method of attainment is precisely the same for everyone. Are you in? Read on to find out.
Let’s be clear. Whether you live in fear (still wearing a mask, hoarding your money, or overstocking on canned goods) or faith (regardless of how things may appear, you know that because “God’s Got This” the reason you are going through this experience has a useful purpose) the choice will ALWAYS be yours.
Your choice will also be honored by the Universe. God, Creator Source, Soul, all the same frequency, does not care whether you choose to dwell in fear or faith. No outside power will ever intercede over the choices an earthling makes. Humans were born into a world of duality (fear/faith, for example) and promised, as a birthright, free will. Let’s agree for the sake of argument for a moment that as a human being born with the power or will to make choices, that one has chosen their place in the fear-faith spectrum quite cheerfully. So, if faith is a choice and fear is a choice, the question to answer is: Why does one choose fear?
I would suggest that every time a new life experience presents itself, and new life experiences present themselves daily, that by human nature, one is always vacillating between thoughts of fear or faith. Case in point.
Abigail worked for me since almost the beginning of my publishing career. The want ad she responded to was headlined “book finisher” wanted. Abster was in her sophomore year of college. Her talents were still undeveloped, as were mine, so I guess you could say we grew up together. After producing some amazing book graphics, Abi turned to act as my social media governor, where we again learned ways to bring my messages of healing all aspects of the human condition to the multitudes.
Abigail recently graduated. In my heart, I knew it was just a matter of time before my Abi would have to leave the nest and make her own way in the world of graphics. There is so much more for her to experience. As her office mentor, the right thing to do was to let her go if she ever decided to do so.
Five months after Abigail graduated, she came to me with her two-week notice. I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you that fear struck me instantly. I even offered to match the new salary she would be making. Abi said she would think about it over the weekend. Thank God for weekends.
Although I may have been able to afford to match Abi’s new salary (twice what I was paying her), it would have strained both me and my team. Thankfully, MY fear to faith road has been firmly embedded with Soul bumps that automatically remind me to remember whenever change or loss strikes and fear is an immediate response that “God’s Got This.” By Monday morning, I knew before Abigail told me that she was moving on. I was excited for her choice to move on to her new job because I knew (faith) that the project I committed myself to years ago, “to bring light to the collective,” wasn’t yet finished and that Universe would send the right person to take us to the next level.
And so it was! Not two days after Abigail left, I finally had the time to start looking for our new team player. With a stack of resumes in front of me, I made four phone calls. The second phone call hit the jackpot. My real need was a social media master. We had all the graphics ready but were still in the infant stages of bringing everything to market.
During Abigail’s final two weeks, my mantra was… “I am so excited to see how Universal Soul will provide the next step in this process.” A faith-filled statement/affirmation for sure. That second phone call connected me with a middle-aged person who not only had a history of success in social media marketing but was completely in harmony with the message of Soul Sequencing and Healersstore.
Fear is a choice. An ok choice if that’s where one is comfortable. Faith is also a choice. The choice between emotions of fear or faith are not more costly or more difficult than the other. The only difference is in the results. Fear paralyzes the future. Faith opens one’s arms to new possibilities. Faith that “everything works together for good,” regardless of the road one is on at the moment, allows Universal Intelligence to work its magic and connect the faith-filled being to solutions that bring light and resolution in the end. Fear blocks Universal Intelligence’s ability to provide solutions, answers and remedies.
Did I mention the choice is yours?
Affirmation: All my choices are backed with faith.
