Hi Everyone!

Not to wear the subject out, but I was thinking about my good fortune
to have gotten my new job. I had just come to the realization that I
needed to find a full-time position to help pay bills and our ever
rising property taxes, so I decided to peruse the Classified ads.

I had been praying daily for some guidance to show me what I needed
to do in order to solve my dilemma. I didn't ask for more money, I
didn't request a particular "thing" to happen, all I asked for was
guidance. What did I need to do to help my situation? I sent out my
daily prayer with heartfelt intensity; knowing that in some way I
would receive an "answer".

I've never been (since my young adulthood) a very "religious" person,
but I believe that there is something out there that's greater than
ourselves - a divine source, if you will.

I'd prayed many times in the same way - and I've always been
answered. I also believe that if we are meant to obtain something, we
will get it - but not if we try to force it to happen. (Remember the
phrase "THY will be done"? It isn't "MY will be done".)

So, when I opened the Sunday Help Wanted section, the ad for this job
jumped out at me. It was as if it was calling out my name. I
literally felt a tingling over my whole body. I knew this was my
answer. I think I even knew then that this job would be mine and when
I walked out of the interview, I "heard" an acknowledgement in my
mind that the job was mine.

Crazy? No. Faith? Yes. Divine intervention? I think so.

I believe there's a difference between religion and faith and I want
to make it clear that I'm not trying to convert anyone. I believe
that faith is something we all have access to and were born with. I
also think there is a link between faith and positive thinking. It
makes sense to me. I have never had "faith" in something that was
negative or detrimental to myself!

So, now that I've shared this concept with all of you, I'd love to
hear everyone's thoughts on the topic!
