I was about to tell about a thing, a blessing, that happened in my life and I interpretted what happened to be a consequence of a good choice, and thought I would classify it as a miracle, but that is because that is how I have been prepared to understand such happenings. There is an undeniable principle that can be defined by it's constant results, but many people must note of such happenings, but fail to see them as a miracle because they are not at that level of comprehending the world around them.
Ok, ok.
So, what happened was that I made a choice already to not spend money that I do not have. So, when the temptation became very strong to borrow to buy a thing. I needed to simply remember my choice and stick to it. I did. This meant that I would not be able to afford a plane ticket home whoch I desired above anything else. Then, instantly, my mom phoned me to tell me that the reunion woukd be put off for a year. This was unexpected, but seemed like a miracle. Many people would call it a coincidence, a totally unrelated one, but, one by one, things happened that denoted that I had chosen correctly.
To me, it seems as if because I had chosen to stick by a choice ( which was taught as a true principle) that things were a result, and although my life seemed to fall apart according to what I wanted, my perspective saw it as a miracle, there was nothing to miss afterall.
Again, I had a way to accomplish my desires, yet I now could face them not just hoping for the best, but faithfully expecting something better than my plan if I accepted that I simply could not buy a thing YET.
This seems a straightforward way of thinking when I taught a class that we need to resolve to choose the right before even placed in a situation. I likened it to promising not to do drugs before even asked, but it fots my situation perfectly, and although I did not call it a testimony, I told them that I had decided not to spend money that I did not have.
But, wait, what about a home? I suppose each has his own lessons to apply and learn, but it seems to me that our eternal salvation does not rely on buying a home, and maybe that system is wrong and only works because everyone choses to abide it. That was never my intent to discuss even. I am just still full of the notion that we do not need to have things before we can afford them, and altjough such a choice will be tested in countless ways, a choice HAS been made, an need not be made again
