Ampersand Answers: Nothing’s Happening!

Nothing happens, and nothing happens, and then …
everything happens

 The Question: 

How can I bring my faith to my life?   

&mpersand Answers: 

Does this happen in your life? It does in mine. I’m going along, getting more and more impatient, because I’m not manifesting whatever it is I’m working toward. I can feel like I’m spinning my wheels in a mud puddle—spraying splotches of dirt and going nowhere. 

But then, there’s a pause. Almost like the pause at the end of each in-breath and out-breath. It’s a pause where momentum builds, invisible momentum, but if I can get still enough, I can feel its potential. 

That’s when everything happens. I’ve always chocked it up to being a Libra, with five planets in my sun sign. I’m not sure the accreditation is valid. 

The truth is: we all bring our faith to our lives, whether we like it or not. Faith, yes, even for an atheist (she has a god she doesn’t believe in) is part and parcel of the structure of a human being.  

Now, there’s a difference between bringing your inherent faith to your life, or conscious faith to your life. What we mean when we ask this is: conscious faith. We’re asking, How can I believe in my dreams, and stay with them, instead of waffling all over like a fish on land? 

You give thanks for whatever it is you’re working toward—before it’s manifest—and you stay with the gratitude rather than doubting your choice.  

Don’t forget that manifesting, unless you’re only ever working with mechanical things (like, say, a Cadillac, which doesn’t care if you buy it or not,) other souls are part of any manifestation process, and they all have to be as ready as you are. 

So when “nothing” is happening, just imagine those other souls scrambling to get ready for their part in your dream, and give thanks for them. It’ll come, belovèd, at the perfect time.
