Nice. Your attitude echoes what Chris Armitage just wrote about today at https://substack.com/inbox/post/188885517 (I hope you don't mind the political nature of his post. The parallels are about belief.)
someone told me "it's easy to trust God when you have money" the last year has opened me up to holding God's hand in a new way. every step, every breath knowing i'm held by something bigger, guided by something bigger. I know the abyss... leaving the jungle with 200 dollars, a couple small bags of clothes and my three boys to start again. None of it made financial sense. how i got there was a wild journey of trust in itself. Sending you and enormous hug through this time because i know that unknown so much.
This is my truth as well as being disabled and unemployed for several years...
The ego is wired for the five senses. It needs to see the paycheck. It needs to feel the security. It needs proof before it can breathe.
But faith? Faith is what the soul sees when the five senses have nothing left to report.
I live with chronic pain. There are days my body gives me every reason to believe that nothing is working, nothing is coming, nothing is possible. The evidence is right there. I can feel it.
But the soul doesn’t operate on sensory evidence. It operates on a different kind of knowing.
What you described in that temple...3,000 voices, tears you didn’t expect, a chest suddenly light...that wasn’t your senses. That was your soul recognising something true.
And now, four days from the last paycheck, that same knowing is being asked to show up again. Not because the circumstances look good. But because faith was never about circumstances.
The ego waits for proof. The soul moves before it arrives.
You already know how to do this. You did it in that temple. Your Soul got this!

I appreciate that Cindy. Thanks for sharing your story, too. I do believe that it will work out. It already has.
