If you read my daily shot of Spiritual Espresso yesterday about how I lost my car keys and couldn’t drive myself to the airport Saturday morning to fly to visit my Dad then you know what I’m referencing when I say:  I found my car keys.

If you’d like to read yesterday’s blog with all the details, click here now.  

Around 2am on Saturday, after looking everywhere I could possibly think of to find the keys for the rental car, I finally concluded that they were probably frozen in the ice under the snow somewhere around the car or in the yard.

I had faith that since the weather was going to be a bit warmer and sunnier over the next few days they would be discovered as the snow and ice melted.  Well, it was warmer Saturday and still I couldn’t find them.  It was warmer on Sunday too, and the snow melted even more, but they weren’t showing up.  

And then Spirit directed me to look at this hook on the back of a door where I’d hung these decorative bells that my sister-in-law had gotten me for Christmas.  I’d only ever hung a wreath and then the bells there.  Yet, there were the keys.  Discovered Sunday around 3pm.  

I had to smile.  

I can’t imagine why I would ever have put them there except to ensure that I wouldn’t find them when I needed them.  Crazy!

And, yet, again, I really truly know that somehow I was being protected from something and that’s why I put them there – so I wouldn’t find them and I’d be forced to cancel my trip.  

Or maybe I wasn’t going to meet up with my brother and Dad because they needed to have the time just the two of them.  

In a sense it really doesn’t matter why – the main thing is that I have 100% TRUST that it had to be for my highest good because that’s all I’m interested in.  

I’m still so grateful that I wasn’t upset.  

I’m even more grateful still that I listened to my guidance to look for the keys at 1:15am instead of when I was going to get up at 4am.

I know for sure that life is for me and never against me, even when it seems like it’s one thing after another that I wish were different.  When I start wishing things were different than they are, I say to myself, “since everything works together for good, and you’re only interested in the highest and best, what is it that you wish were different?”  That always puts me right on track.  

I am not a victim of the world I see.  I’m clear about that.

Because I have trust, I look for the evidence that all things work together for good.  If I had doubt I’d be looking for evidence that things were working against me.  

Now, one thing that’s wonderful is that at no point in any of this mess did I beat myself up for anything.  I don’t feel like I’ve complained or been upset.

I may not see how or why all things are working together for my good, but I don’t have to.  I can still KNOW that they are, even if I don’t know how or why it could be true.  I’ve learned to FEEL it even if I don’t understand it.

And that’s the beauty of trust. That’s the power of faith.  

Jesus said, “your faith made you whole.” And that’s the truth of it.
