Lessons in Faith and Trusting!

Faith is believing in God or a Higher Power even when there is no direct evidence of proof. Trust is knowing that God and the Universe has and will continue to guide your footsteps and life, in big and small ways, to your highest good and authentic truth and self.

Over the past few months, life has brought some very interesting challenges that have re-opened my eyes to several truths, the one above happened this morning. As I was preparing for work and processing this week's events, my spirit reminded me that I would either have faith and trust in God's plan and the Universe's ability to manifest it, or not.
I knew in that moment I had a choice to make. The choice was easy ~ I choose to have faith and trust.

Many of us already know this truth but we are probably more aware of it at an intellectual level. But, when this truth drops deep to our core or like Ellie says, visceral level, and becomes wisdom, true freedom and peace emerges.

Learning to have faith and to trust at the same time is an interesting journey. It truly is a journey of becoming. When we allow ourselves to experience this journey fully with all its changes and challenges, AND when we allow ourselves to let go of our expectations or rigid results, something amazing happens. Our deepest intentions and desires manifest allowing more opportunities for us to experience our God-given birthright and highest good.

When you have a few moments, look back over your life and remember times when you let go and felt led by God, a Higher Power, or the Spirit. Remember times when you felt an impression to do something, go somewhere or not, when you were warned about a situation or person, or when you were guided to call or help a friend. Each of these moments you were being led on a journey of faith or truth and sometimes both.

I have had several examples like the ones mentioned above and often I trust my "instincts" more than anything else. In one incident, I didn't listen. I didn't trust what was being given to me because it seemed, at the time, to interfere with what I wanted. To this day I regret not listening to that guidance. Although I have let go of the guilt originally connected to that incident, I remember the lesson I have learned. I now trust that my spirit, my core, has the absolute truth for my life more than my external experiences and situations. When I honor and listen to that truth, everything works out together for my highest good and for others, if they are involved.

My dear BraveHeart Sisters, today is the day to decide if you will have faith and trust in God and the Universe's ability to manifest your highest good , even in challenging situations, or not.

I hope and pray that you will allow yourself to go on this journey of becoming as your soul grows and evolves into love, life and all that is amazing.

Have Faith, Trust in God, the Universe, yourself and each other!

Live Outrageously Well,

Anita
