Of shoes...of bags ..of all the material things we Love.....

Of shoes and bags and all material things  we get attached to..I have not been particularly attached to  many of my  material possessions. Maybe with the exemption of  my jewelries and the money  that enables me to  eat anywhere and everywhere and to travel to distant places…ha ha ha ha…at least I thought so  until circumstances  threatened to stop me from acquiring  and doing all those  things… and I  realized I am attached  ,intensely attached  to all those things and more.

I was irritated, impatient and so threatened. I am being eaten  from the inside…so insecure , restless, trying to  be cool but crap, I was  so afraid of being found out that my financial status has somewhat changed and adjustments have to be made with my lifestyle, our lifestyle….what a fake!!

Well I am not the one telling people I am rich .Many assumed that I am because of how we live, eating out, going to places ,posting pictures of travels and acquisitions….and I never corrected them… not at first  since I know  I am rich beyond  compare ,for my father above  gives me the abundance  they see in me… until my husband  retired and  started his own business  and that security was shattered  !wham it went!!!..

Then he asked me to tighten  my belt  a little ..and my savings began dwindling ..and his “sustento” appeared and disappeared ..not  entirely  but… well my world it seemed  to me  was tumbling down ..funny since my kids are  going to very good schools , we can still eat out though seldomly now… funny I am not miserable financially  compared to most of my friends and co-workers  and maybe even to the genral public…hmmm….sigh….

My shoes, the bags , and the jewelries  are not gone, but the buying has stopped , we don’t go out as much to eat , my organic market  trips went from  every Sunday to frequent  to lately –rarely…

But I learned to keep appearances, peppering my dialog with , we all need money which people do not hear from me…but maybe I omitted the fact that his business is not really going great guns at that time.. Silently praying for blessings for material things …. My consolation(s) were , that my husband is one persevering, patient  man, a wonderful husband , hardworking  and very optimistic and resilient and resourceful , never saying die….

Today after almost 2 years  somehow the tide is turning ,  our financial position is better with so many bright spots to look at.. the feelings of security  and confidence is coming back …the confidence and faith  that my father above will provide  and  that he is rich beyond  my imagination , the source of my unending  abundance..slowly slowly but surely I believe, I am believing again (it seems my faith was shaken)  that I am rich  and that my life from now on will be rich and splendid  for the rest of my days!!!!

I am surrounded with that feeling that everything will be alright ..that everything in my world is ok again , shiny and bright … I am ready , ready again to receive all the abundance this universe has to offer, that these abundance is there for the picking …

I declare that happy days are here again ….I wonder, maybe my financial position did not change but my faith was shaken….that maybe the child of GOD in me has forgotten …that the source of my abundance has not changed  but my belief did and I started living as if that abundance has gone…..

Abundance is how you live life..it is the belief that the father above will provide ..my mantra ‘I may not always get what I want, but I will always get what I need”  was left unchanted  until this universe smack me and here I am , filling my life with abundance again !

Thank you LORD for your blessing and for the  abundance of the universe that  is unending that the father above gives us…we just need to trust in his infinite wisdom  and claim all that is ours, the abundance of the father above..

Lately, I have began window shopping again..buying a piece or two, trying on (and never  getting them off) diamond rings !! ha ha ha…

Trust in the LORD and living as HIS child ..is living abundantly!!!
