My Personal Christmas Miracle: The Power of Faith

Today is Christmas Eve and I have been watching Christmas movies and spending some long awaited time with Eric, my husband. The end of another movie marks the time for me to start supper.   I go alone to the kitchen and turned on some soft meditation music.

I began to think back to what lead up to me being right here right now in our new home. Then I began to cry.  I realized that these last three months could have very well have been a plot to one of those Christmas movies.

In this writing, I want to share how the power of faith brought me to complete my move from New York to Florida.

Just a small recap: Eric moved to FL ahead of me and stayed with friends to look for work and go apartment hunting.  My roommates and I stayed behind in New York to finish up on the sale of our mobile home.

However, the sell fell through and it would take another three months to get a new buyer; three more months without seeing Eric. I already spent Thanksgiving without him; I just knew that was nothing that was going to keep us apart for Christmas!

I continued to practice the principles in Napoleon Hill’s book, “Think and Grow Rich”. Lessons were written on how each of these principles was affecting my journey to reunite with my husband.

November 30th and we now have the sale of our home completed, turned in our resignations for our jobs and reserved the moving truck.  Things are going as planned.  THEN negativity tries to creep in and take away my faith.

We were scheduled to leave for Florida on December 16^th.  The Monday before, the apartment office calls and said there is an issue with being approved for our new home. This is where the old programming of my mind tried to ruin my faith.

As we addressed each issue, another day goes by – three days to go, then two days and finally one more day until we were to leave New York.  I started to panic, what if we don’t get approved?  What am I to do?  I did not make a Plan B.  I just sold our home and resigned from my job; there is no retreat.

I called my mentor and filled him in on the situation and he said, “You don’t need a Plan B; everything is going as planned.”  I knew I could trust his words so I kept the faith and continued to apply the principles.

I began to think about the different stories in “Think and Grow Rich”. One in particular came to mind. Mr. Hill tells the story of how a military officer ordered the boats to be burned.  Either we win or die here, there is no retreat.  Since I had no retreat, my only option was to keep the faith.

The day before our departure, approximately 3 p.m. in the afternoon, we received a phone call from Maria, the apartment manager.  She asked if we were sitting down; then said, “Please have Eric stop by the office to sign the lease.”  I thanked her over and over with joy in my voice. She said she was happy to help us get into our new home. You could hear the other ladies in the background of the office giggling, sharing in my delight.

Friday comes and we are on our way.   Again with the old programming, I began to worry about needing to find a job.  Eric kept telling me, “Just relax, everything will work out fine.  You’ll see.”

Now it is Christmas Eve and I have been watching Christmas movies and spending some long awaited time with Eric, my husband. The end of another movie marks the time for me to start supper.   I go alone to the kitchen and turned on some soft meditation music.

I began to think back to what lead up to me being right here right now in our new home. I began to cry. I cried with joy and gratitude. I realized that celebrating Christmas with the love of my life was the most important thing to me and I got what I wanted; nothing else matters.  I cried because I am happy and had a major aha ha moment — everything will be fine and no need to worry about the future as long as I continue to have faith.

I got my Christmas miracle, just like the ending to one of those Christmas movies. By consistently applying the principles, I know I will succeed in anything I believe I can achieve. And so can you.

I hope my story inspires you to keep the faith and keep moving forward.  It is a difficult road to travel, but a rewarding one.  Merry Christmas and May God Bless you all.
