Because of my current financial situation, I have been asking myself what is the spiritual lesson here? I think I found out when I sent an email to my address book notifying them that I would soon be offline. As a result some of my friends have stepped up and are making monetary contributions to keep me online and in communication. Certainly, that was not my intention by sending out my email. Preferring to be self-sufficient, it was hard for me to spiritually accept this blessing. After contacting a spiritual advisor, I learned that I should just be grateful and accept the blessings. I hate humility!

What I have learned is to humble and a little more compassionate. Through everything, I have tried to remain focused on the knowledge spiritual knowledge that God did not bring me this far to abandon me; that everything would work out in God’s time.

Still…I hope that God brings me the job before I have to rely on anyone’s goodness. To me that would be the miracle. I say this because I am fully aware that my circumstances are a result of the choices I have made in life.

In the end, I am grateful to have such wonderful, giving people in my life and will make an earnest effort to be the same from this point forward. I chose footprints as the image for this post, as it that is where I try to focus my thoughts when things get rough. I just love the piece of prose.
