The Road Back to Faith
As
we travel along life’s path, many times we inadvertently lose our way .
Many times we develop new beliefs because of our changing life
experiences , these beliefs should not change our core values but only
enhance them.
If we aren’t careful, a supreme life test of our values can make us question what we believe in and create doubt where there should not be any. At this time it is easy to slip into a period of self doubt and negativity. Even if we have passed the test, the hardships endured in the mean time can make us feel like losers. Once that happens life can rapidly go down hill and our goals and wants seem to slowly slip away. It is at this point in time one needs to re-evaluate our life and determine how fortunate we really have been to have undertaken that learning experience.
Having experienced such a time, I am now the wiser and smarter. There are always events that will bring us back to the path. That in itself is a learning experience whereby much good can be gleaned.
After
a few years of self doubt as far as believing what I believed, I began
to think it was time to again embrace what I knew to be true. One
particular circumstance started me back on the path. During a visit to
one of the ABC islands in the southern Caribbean,Curacao,events began to
come into play that would again change my life. After visiting the
oldest Jewish synagogue in the Americas, I happened by a store front
displaying a simple sign, all it said was Jackie. One of the leaders of
the group I was a part of was named Jackie, so I thought it would be
cool to take a photo of the sign and give it to her. Not knowing there
would be a part two of this saga, it sounded like a fun thing to do.
After contemplating my spiritual path for months, uncharacteristically I was working in my garage one afternoon when a lady pulled up on the street and motioned for me to come out to her car. As I did , she got out of the car and asked if there were any houses for sale in the neighborhood, a conservation ensued whereby I discovered she was involved in the esoteric community and had studied much spiritually.
I stated that I had not been involved in that sort of thing for years , but was thinking of resuming my involvement. At this time she introduced herself as Jackie. I immediately thought of the store sign in Curacao and realized it was time to get back in the game.
It was time to reestablish my faith and again believe in what had worked for me. Two obvious signs in this period of time was enough for me I didn’t need any more prodding, from past experience I knew what would come next, no need to delay.
Since that afternoon in the drive way, much has transpired and many challenges have come my way. Although much of what I believe is coming my way hasn't happened yet, I have seen the need to strengthen my faith in able to allow it to transpire. The possibilities are there, all I need to do is stay positive and believe, regardless of the current circumstances, the final out come is in my hands.
