Most of my life was lead by fear. Fear of abandonment, of not being liked, fear of pain, spiders, and fear to almost anything.
A couple of years ago I received as a gift the Book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. In it talks about the Law of Attraction and how people attract the things they think about, the things they talk about and even the things we complain about. According to this law, fear is one of our worst enemies, because just by allowing ourselves to fear something we give that very thing a very powerful energy and it will attract that same thing we fear to our own lives. Reading this book helped me to pay more attention to what I was thinking, what I was fearing and/or complaining about. That was just the first step in ridding myself from fear.
The second step started happening when I began to go to Church, that is when I started developing Faith. When I came to Church I was in the worst moment of my life, having recently lost my husband to a break up I felt like there was not much to look forward to. I have two wonderful daughters and I needed to be healthy and happy for them. They are my livelyhood. But my depression was getting the best of me so I started to go to Church and I noticed that I started to feel better. People at Church were nice, there is great music and I really feel like the pastor is talking directly to me. I took notes and felt this urge to learn more and more. I barely believed in God and I used to think Christianity was a bunch of nonesense. But there I was, trying to find something.
One day the pastor said that all that we needed was a mustard seed of faith for it to grow. And I thought to myself. I can do that!
As time passed I kept studying the word. Started reading the Bible. I used the Life Application Study Bible to learn as much as I could, and it is something that I do continuously because it is such an interesting book, filled with action, adventure, drama... and a lot of wisdom.
And as time passed in less than a year I was able to develop genuine faith.
What is genuine faith? It is believing so strongly that God is taking care of you and preparing you so that he can use you, so you can be a blessing to others. My fear has completely vanished from my life and I feel better than ever.
I know that anything that comes my way is a lesson, I know that God's timing is Always perfect so whatever I am supposed to get, I will get to and at the best time for it. So there's nothing to worry about.
