Faith and Fear can’t exist at the same time. I’ve been thinking about this almost daily lately.
It’s faith vs impatience for me recently. I guess impatience could be put in a similar category with fear, because it is the opposite of faith, isn’t it?
I want things to happen in my time. Do you as well? Faith happens when I allow and know. Truly know and feel, things will happen in their highest and best timing for me and others. When I let God work his magic!
When you get something in your mind in life that you think will go one way and ends up not, it produces all kinds of emotions that are not coming from faith. If I truly had faith in everything I teach and do my best to live, I wouldn’t have any of the emotions of frustration, impatience, irritation etc. would I?
I am faced daily with the knowledge that my faith needs to be stronger. Looking for lessons in about every situation in my life. Taking responsibility, the best I can for what I do and don’t have. Being human, I’m remembering to be as gentle with myself, my thoughts and feelings.
Because I spent almost one month with Dad, as he was recovering from pneumonia, navigating using oxygen for the first time and new medications, fear was present.
Knowing how to shift over to the other side of the Emotional Scale I teach about, is so important.
I use appreciation to shift to the left side of the scale, the side where our vibrations are higher and our emotions feel better.
I’m finding I am needing to do this quite often throughout my days.
Living in my present moments, slowing down to be aware of what’s going on around me, is helpful. Then turning to something I appreciate is next.
Doing things that bring me joy and connecting with people that bring me joy, help.
As I spent time at Dad’s 95th birthday celebration, I enjoyed seeing many extended family members I haven’t seen in a long time.
When I focus on appreciation, I know I am at a higher vibration emotionally, and I will attract more of the things I want into my life. The trick is to stay there more often than not.
Life is so very precious and fragile. Things can change in an instant. As I send out prayers, love and light to people in need, this helps me to have faith.
Here are other helpful things I found about faith and fear, from a Christian site:

What do you have right now going on for you, that you are living in fear or impatience, instead of faith?
Leave me a comment about something that you are struggling with too. Or private message me or email me.
We can help each other move through and on to more of the wonderful things we envision our lives to be!
With many blessings,

PS. Below is a collage of photos from Dad’s 95th birthday. My son, Adam and daughter Abby flew in to be with grandpa. Dad in his comfortable chair with my nephew by his side. Daffodils and crocus’s Mom planted several years ago, now blooming. Me, Dad and Abby.
