Re: I feel like the Universe is playing a cruel joke on me
Believe me, I know how hard it can be while living surrounded by a lot of evidence of "what is"! Ironically enough, today I woke up having trouble with my thoughts, all because I realized I was running out of something I really need but "at the moment" don't have the money to buy... A couple of years ago, thanks to paying too much attention to things as they were (like not understanding why a job I manifested was not the right one for me) I started a process that has been my undoing. My greatest mistake was to walk away from learning more about the LOA at that time due to conflict with my religious beliefs, all that did was to push "a snowball down a hill" and you know what happens with that... it just kept rolling down faster and getting bigger, and I've ended up in a situation that's now a big challenge for me, but knowing as I do now how REAL the LOA is, I've no choice but to keep at it, trying to "lay down new pipes" until right thinking becomes second nature in me.
So you're definitely NOT alone, actually telling you what I saw was a reminder of what I myself need to keep doing, we're all in this boat together y'know. I will pray that the problems with your house are speedily and easily resolved and that you may find many ways to stay hopeful. Maybe it'll help to think of other times when you manifested good things and how you did it... I know that has helped to encourage me. During a couple of difficult times I made myself lists of all the times I could remember when things got resolved "miraculously" for me, most happened long before I was aware of the LOA so it was "neat" to see it at work in the positive so many times. I now look at those lists every time I feel like "this time things are different...", the truth is that it doesn't matter how different or difficult a new situation is, it's whether we have faith that we're going to get through it just fine or not what counts. And I thank God for what Mike Dooley said about not worrying about the "hows", that that is the Universe's job, 'cause boy, do I love to go there and then lose faith when I don't see a way!
