Faith of a Mustard Seed
Submitted by: Shaquayla M.
Coral Gables, FLI am a 20 year student at the University of Miami.
The Secret has really sustained me and allowed my dreams to come to fruition. During my sophomore year in college I did not receive enough financial aid to cover the cost of room and board at the college that I attend (University of Miami). In total, I owed nearly $12,000 and as a result lost my job that was funded through the school, I was unable to register for summer classes and classes for the next semester, I was not able to sign up for housing for the next semester either. I was basically told that I would not be able to continue on in school if this amount was not paid.
I couldn’t take out a loan because I have no credit, and could not find a creditworthy co-signor. I could not get a scholarship to cover the cost because the bill was past due. I called every department in my school, including the financial aid office, to secure the funds and everyone said they had no money to give.
The whole time this situation was going I kept reading The Secret, I visited this site daily and read the other stories posted to keep the faith, feel good, and truly believe. There were times where I briefly got down about the situation that I was in. The thought of not being able to return to my dream school killed me inside. But I kept the faith and I prayed daily.
Acting on my faith, I printed out the sheet that said, “Amount Now Due: $11,144.43”, I scratched that amount out, wrote in $0.00 instead, and then wrote thank you beside it. Every time I had a negative/doubtful thoughts I pulled out that sheet and read “Amount Now Due: $0.00”, said Thank You, and began to feel good again.
I wrote down the perfect class schedule I wanted for the next semester and would visualize myself in class. I visualized myself in my work uniform again. I visualized myself in my perfect dorm room.
In summary, overtime my grandmother funded me with the majority of the money to cover my bill, which was the Universe acting on my behalf in and off itself because directly prior to this situation my grandmother and I had had a nasty falling out. Also, after months and months of back and forth with the financial aid dept. and student accounts they were able to fund me with the rest of the money I needed!! I looked at my bill today and guess what it said?!?! “Amount Now Due: $0.00” I am ecstatic, and I feel so blessed and so happy!
I will officially be enrolled in school again tomorrow, I have the dream room that I visualized, I have my job back (in fact I am wearing the work shirt I visualized myself in RIGHT NOW), and I have the class schedule that I wrote out. The Secret works!! It takes a conscious effort to keep the faith and keep believing but your dreams will be manifested!! Trust the Universe!
Now I am attracting to myself credit for the summer classes that I took as well as an invitation to Rush the sorority of my dreams!
I AM RECEIVING NOW!!!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
