THE SECRET
THE SECRET to healing & happiness (not to mention getting prayers answered) is getting in touch with God (the God of Love) and opening yourself to discovering what he wants you to learn and what changes he wants you to make in yourself & your attitudes.
For example, in the years depicted in _Petitioning God_, I had to learn to stop expecting more from Belinda than she was prepared to give. Now, I need to become more willing to promote my book (instead of just sitting here writing it all the time).
It’s our human nature to resist this move of focusing on the God within us & doing what he lovingly urges us to do, but it’s the only way to be happy.
For example, I resisted my growth with regard to Belinda, repeatedly trying to pretend our relationship was more than it was, even after she met her honey Nicole, when at first I assumed they had merely met by chance when actually Belinda had aggressively tried to meet someone online, & finally succeeded. Currently, I struggle every day with the part of me that still wants nothing to do with promotion or even finding a publisher because it thinks it doesn’t want the changes that will take place when all that stuff happens. But I will keep working on it and, with God’s help, will triumph over it in yet another step of spiritual growth, which is, after all, the whole purpose of this life. Because I know that continuing to progress on the journey is the only way to true peace & joy!
Good luck in your journey, & feel free to write me anytime with problems or questions!
God’s love,
Sara
