Thoughts, God and Life

For the past few months my higher source of truth has been teaching me great lessons. How grateful I am for these lessons. Let me tell you about them.



I have been reading such a great book. It is called, The Trapp Family Singers by Maria Von Trapp. Ever heard of The Sound of Music? This is the true story. This book is full of epiphanies for me. I could copy half of the book into my journal. Maria was a woman of great faith, vision and gratitude. Humble and teachable, she learned at the feet of many a great mentor. After a few years in the convent her mother superior called her to her office and asked, "Tell me, Maria, which is the most important lessons our old Nonnberg (convent) has taught you?" She replied, "The only important thing on Earth is to find out what the will of God is and to do it. Even if it is not pleasant or if it is hard, perhaps very hard."



I have been struggling with the concepts in the book The JackRabbit Factor and books like the Secret and Law of Attraction. The overall feeling is one of greed, desire and materialism. I realize that they add the obligatory category of relationship etc, but the overall feel is, what do I want and how fast can I get it. Yes they do emphasis gratitude which is such an important principle but as I have been taught and studied these concepts I found something very important missing.



The Universe ( I would call the concept of the universe, My Heavenly Father or God) is a very loving, giving entity. I also believe that He is all knowing and as such has a specific plan for each of us individually. The Bible does say, "ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you." Matthew 7:7 It also says, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his Righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33 How do we reconcile these two passages?



I believe that Maria von Trapp helps us understand how to meld these principles together. Her answer to Mother Abbess is our answer. If our will is in alignment with God's will our requests will be given, found and opened. If it is not, our requests may or may not be filled. I also feel that if our requests may not be the best for us, God with his vision of the big picture , will not grant them. So why think positively? Why dream, plan, ask, work hard, listen to our intuition or seek joy?



Here is where remembering comes in. My belief is that we are on Earth to fulfill a mission, a specific mission made just for us. Within us somewhere is the knowledge of this mission. When we dream, plan and seek joy we are led to these missions. As we are led to these missions there will be obsticles; lack of money, lack of time, life trageties etc. This is where ask, seek and knock come into play. Faith is crucial. Gratitude is of utmost importance. Finding out the will of God and doing it, is the most important thing on Earth.



Now that I have found the missing part to the "Secret", "Law of Attraction", and "Law of Thought", I feel confident in moving forward in my quest to share the knowledge I have been given in regards to these concepts. I THINK I CAN is a vehicle through which I will share this knowledge. This knowledge is vital in achieving God's will for us and the mission He expects us to carry out here on Earth. "As a man thinketh so is he", is a true principle.



If this intrigues you, continue to check out this website and come to one of our seminars. You will be glad you did, because there is no greater joy than living a purpose and mission driven life.
