Re: What Sustains Your Faith?

I agree and in fact said so in my intro. I had not read this thread when I posted, so again synchronistic.
I wake up and hear songs in my head all the time. I then look for the messages inside of the lyrics. It may be the lyric or it may be a person I connect the song with. Anytime I hear Glenn Miller’s “Moonlight Seranade” my parents must be “close”( they are ont he other side)
My brother is ill…the other day when he had worsened, I heard a song that made me think of him”Every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you”…and of course it has something to do with the idea he may go away.

My faith gets tested. I was in Rainbow girls as a youth. I was named”Grand Faith to the State of NH” when someone else bowed out. Faith comes up alot in my llife.

I do not believe one has to adhere to a specific faith to believe in a higher power or purpose. If I pray I never ask for something to undermine a persons free will or to mess up a previously agreed on path. I think we come into the world with a purpose, and when that has been met, we leave. So when I ask for something in prayer, it is always with the final admonition” This or something better now manifests in totally acceptable ways for the highest good of all concerned”..After all, I do not want to be responsible for altering individual choice.
I’m back to trusting the signs.It was not easy to do. Once realized there was only now and also that over analyzing things kept me too much in mind and not enough in heart, I started to be more aware and a whole world has opened up..

This reentry into my faith started about 6 weeks ago. This community helped after synchronistically finding the zaadz ad.
“I wasn’t lookin, and somehow you found me…” ( from: Nobody does it Better-Carly Simon) Another song popping in my head again….
