The Fine Line Between Faith & Practical Reality

[Brent12]

Hi all,
I am really struggling with the concept of having and keeping the faith through all circumstances.  At what point does one not so much give up on a goal but just realize that "hey it's just not going to happen"?  Take a person losing their home to foreclosure.  There is a deadline when you would have to vacate the property and one would be a fool to not make some sort of contingency plan, right??  I know I'm confusing this so I will go into some detail.  The person losing their home is me.  I have seven weeks to either pay the home off in full or vacate.  I do have plans in the process that possibly could bring these funds to me but as of right now in my reality that I'm experiencing materially I'm not sure they will come in time.  So here starts the dilemma, If I start making arrangements to find another place, sell unneeded and extra furnishings as I will be drastically downsizing doesn't this show a lack of faith or is it just being practical?  I really do feel that if I had unmovable faith things would be corrected immediately, but as a human prone to error I do make mistakes and I would just hate to wait it out until the very last minute and not have anywhere to got for myself and kids.  Thank you all for your help.

Hi Brent, 

Welcome to the forums. I read with empathy and compassion your genuine sharing here. I can only be with you here and have this conversation with you, from what transpired for myself.

I have been in this place before. And I must have left something still yet to be undone or released as I was allowed to experience this 'coming upon' me once again.

The second time this happened. I was Asked if I would be willing to allow myself to go through it by being willing to let my house go. Why? In retrospect, I was being asked where my faith really was. My Real Source of Support or Sustenance. Refinement or attunement going deeper than the first time this situation arose in my life. There was residue in this particular area that was needing release.

I was not feeling very 'good' about it, wrestled with it, went through all sorts of strange behaviours just thinking about it. An 'Oh No! Not this again moment.'

Unlike the first time, I knew for myself I was being communicated with and just said, 'Okay. Whatever happens will turn out for my Highest Good and All involved in this event.'

Until I was willing to Let It Be what It was going to be, I fought it. The first time this happened, I ran all over the place trying to fix it. I finally collapsed and said, 'Whatever, take the damn thing!" It turned around for me in that moment. And it didn't come from the physical sources I was using to help me get out of it. Again, that's how it turned out for me.

The second time, I gave all the rising residue of uncomfortable and fear based thoughts over to Source and said, 'Show me the Blessing in this.' I did not run around trying to fix it, I stayed in communion and listening awareness not so much about what was going on with my house but what was going on in my Inner House. And I looked very 'bad' to others I will say.

You are not alone in going through this. I cannot say what it is you are learning in this current momentary experiencing of this. I can only share from my part of the web of life we share.

Your faith is growing through this practical reality. It is a fine line and easily crossed over, we just make it a very wide ravine without a bridge sometimes.

Whatever outcome from this will increase your faith either way. Sometimes these events are just the place of beginning something we had no idea of beforehand. And in retrospect we see it so differently and how deeply this very faith shaking event, once settled, became the very foundation we find ourselves still standing on in the Now moment.

Keep the growing faith in you Brent. Keeping or losing our houses is no reflection on your worthiness and Child of God Being that you always are and never could be otherwise.

I Ask that you be given deep, abiding peace in this experience and that it will remove any residue of fear or doubt in your Source of Life who Loves you no matter what you are experiencing and has only a Plan for your Highest Good and Potential.

Love to you In Divine Spirit ~

Thank you Julia that really does help.  I just have so many different emotions flying around right now and I don't know if I'm coming or going.  I have literally put my "life" on hold throughout this whole ordeal.  I realize that is not the smartest thing to do but after posting this topic I felt a great deal of letting go.  I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired, I'm done fighting this situation.  Thank you.

Greetings Brent

I have been there also, the e-motions are incredibly intense and off the charts, especially when you have to face children in the situation.
I too reached that point of being sick and tired of being sick and tired. Everyone tells you there is no shame in this, but the feelings are real, and stuffing them only makes it worse. It does feel like personal failure. You get alot of " Oh- that's tough man, so sad to hear it, yaddi - yaddi," and that's exactly what it sounds like.

I shifted my thoughts to beyond the foreclosure, to rebuilding afterward. To the fresh start I was facing. Perhaps downsizing is a blessing in its own way.  Simplifying and getting back to the basics of your family and becoming closer through this.
There are many reasons out there that will appear later for you and your family.

I worried for years after my divorce if I could keep the house, that doubt fed the LOA like sugar to a sweets junkie. It created the reality within two years of the divorce. The worry was a steady stream behind my daily conscious thoughts.
Once you take command of your thoughts, you will feel much better, this much I can promise you and your family will feel the new sense of command in you and feel better also, regardless of the outcome.
The sense of no say or control in your current circumstance is the dominant feeling I imagine, and the mother of the negativity.
Please do not cease communication here, their is strength in numbers, as we all are connected.

WithIN Love

Good Evening Brent and Darrell and Everyone ~

Darrell, Namaste my Beloved Friend and Brother. You enlarge the Heart Pause , and I, for One, appreciate you and all your heart wise knowing contributions.

Brent, to share more in a 'different' view of the diamond way of sharing, we expressed a similar point of Now Being view in retrospection here in this post;

http://www.ourultimatereality.com/forums/the-new-energy-t791.0.html

May I clarify something here that I shared earlier with you?

And it didn't come from the physical sources I was using to help me get out of it. Again, that's how it turned out for me.

It did not. It came manifested into the physical 'by ~ ways', I had 'ignored', the 'forgotten' sources.

These are the ways that come through. I love it. Humble Pie. Love In a Box via God. (Could be a brown crinkly grocery sack or some such things known as 'people'.

A 'Cinderella in the Ashes' kind of story.

It was a 'Pay Attention via InJoy' to details ( the small stuff) and let the path take its course sort of thing. Peace. No matter what anyone else is 'thinking', only you know what your truth is.


I know, Julia is streaming again. Yes, I am. Jump In... the water's perfectly tempered ...


Love to you and All ~

I, yet another too, have been there and am still a recovering foreclosure-ee.
Like you I was confussed as to the faith that some thing, some higher energy would come and save the day but my dwindling, want -to -be faith, was fast being submerged by the fact that I was on my own.
I loved my house and when I first saw it I had a overwhelming sensation of knowing that i WAS GOING TO OWN IT EVEN THOUGH I DIDN[T REALLY HAVE THE MEANS TO OBTAIN IT. sure ENOUGH WITHIN two months I was in it. So ,with that said, it was very hard to understand why the same energy that brought us together would stand at ease while I parted from it.
I then later felt a relief and got excited about a fresh start and vowed to climb high the next time.
I can't say anything other than to let you know that I feel your pain.
I have a hard time understand the difference between faith, an affirmation and lying to onesself.
Power to ya in the next go around.
Peace be with:
Dan
