Thank You For $3,217.39!

I believe in thinking positively and trusting in God to get us through tough times, and get us what we truly need and not so much what we want. I believe he gives us what we want as well, and that sometimes the things we want aren't what we need, but manifest into lessons we learn. I believe that thinking positively about a given situation helps the situation to turn out positively. I also believe that money is not mine, nor is it my husband's, nor is it anybody's. Money is God's, it is his money and his will to allow us to have the money we do have... hence why we are thankful for what we are blessed with, friends, family, and food on the table, a roof over our heads.

Hi Candyfairy, I have to say that I do believe in the power of positive thinking. I have had too many instances where it has happened. I just can't help but believe there is something to it. I've never visualized something so big as 3217.29 but I bet if I were in a situation where I had to, I could. Most recently I was dealing with a car that was just about to die and was very dangerous to drive. I drove it anyway and prayed each time i got behind the wheel that I'd make it to my destination and safely. At the end of this month, registration would run out and although I'd been looking for a month, I was unable to find a car that would be dependable and in my price range which is not much. I can't tell you how stressed I was getting as the end of the month approached. On Weds.morning, the 26th, I woke up and I for some reason did not feel the least bit stressed about any of this. i had talked with my friend the nite before and she said, "Sid , you have been in worse spots and things always work out." She was right. I just decided to go with it and know that it all would work out one way or another. Lo and behold, a girl came into the store and had heard I was looking for a car. She was getting rid of hers as she needed a bigger one. Get this...Same make, model, year and color as my old one! It was more than I could afford and she would not be talked down. I paid half in cash and my boss loaned me the other half. To my surprise she threw in a parts car! This car is mint so I am selling my old car along with the parts car for enough to pay off my loan! I have been in many situations and I find that when I find a way to stop stressing and panicking that every thing works out...maybe not as I would like it to but in a way that isn't devastating.

Hey Candy I totally believe in that way of thinking. Do you know the book "The Secret" that is exactly what the book was saying. You need to picture out your life as something better to have a better way of life. I'll share my experience too. Before when I was looking for a job I would always claim that the job is for me. I would always picture out myself doing the job and going to my work every day. How I would be in that position. And yes I always do get that job. Before I was also very negative in a lot of ways. Recently, I tried to become more positive and things are getting to be easy than before. Even in financial matter. Of course I am not saying that we do not encounter problems now, yes we do. But it seems like things are easier to be handled than before. So always keep that positive mindset.

I feel that I´m too small a thing in this universe to be expecting that God favors me with money. I did ask Him once to trade my life for my grandson´s. He was dying at 7 years of age and I had lived an entire life. A friend told me the God was no engineer (human like) and that people did not come and go by age. I learned then that what I had to learn was that sentence: "Thy will be done". We don´t know what is best for us. We should not ask. I dont understand if you got the $3217.29. I don´t understand either how come you think God put it under your pillow, if He did. Because then we could ask why doesn´t He do that with everyone else. I consider myself an agnostic, not a believer. Because I just can´t believe in your God. And God should be only one. A God for mankind and a God for ants. The same one for the whole Universe. So I just think this is beyond my capacities. But still, I managed to accept 10 years ago. I could say, with my heart: "Thy will be done".

Wow! Very mind boggling! A simple child-like faith can throw mountains into the sea out of nothing! And this is not just figurative. Jesus dried up a whole tree, just lie that, and he said it was all out of simply believing the impossible.

well I dont know whether it actually works or not but yes sometimes I think of happened something and that thing exactly happened in the same way.

Wow! Very mind boggling! A simple child-like faith can throw mountains into the sea out of nothing! And this is not just figurative. Jesus dried up a whole tree, just like that, and he said it was all out of simply believing the impossible. I've been training in radical paradigm shifts, getting the Jesus mindset, to make this a lifestyle. I'm a rabid sucker for Jesus.
