My furnace is CONDEMNED!

Holland, MIEnjoying life & ALWAYS MAKING IT GOOD!
Hello Everyone,
I have to start at the beginning, so please bear with me if this is long. I first learned about “The Secret” in 2007 when it first appeared on Oprah. My husband and I watched it together and it intrigued us. I went to “The Secret” website and purchased the one-time viewing of the video online. I do have to say that ever since that day my life has not been the same.
I’m a family daycare provider by trade, and my husband is an unemployed, paraplegic. Shortly after watching (learning) about the law of attraction (I mean like less than a week), my husband comes up with a business idea. This idea was WAY out there. But something told me that we could do this. Well, to make a long story short, less than a year later, WE DID IT! And since accomplishing this, we both have now come to realize that this business is our “life’s purpose”. What we are doing is what God wants us to. I will even go further to say that I now know that I am with my husband because I am supposed to help him carry through with his “life’s purpose.” His job is EXTREMELY important in helping today’s youth, and he would have a hard time to doing it without me.
Well, since applying the law of attraction into my life, I am constantly researching, reading, and trying to find out all that I can to help me better my life and the life of my family. I’m not just talking about financially. I want what every wife/mother wants for her family, an over-abundance in every aspect of our lives. I am learning more every day on how to live a peaceful and abundant life. I should also mention that I have always put my idea of the law of attraction as being one with God. To me it’s not a science thing but a spiritual thing (notice that I didn’t say religious). So when I put my intentions out, I’m doing it knowing that God, the universe, and life is listening to me.
The main reason that I am writing is to share with you the story of my furnace. Like I mentioned earlier, I am a licensed, family childcare provider. Even though my husband and I do have our “life’s purpose business”, I still have a commitment to my current daycare families that I have to fulfill. With that being said, I am in the process of renewing my daycare license. One of the requirements is getting the furnace inspected. My furnace is 21 years old, so I knew that the inspection could go good or bad. Well, the two young men came and began the inspection. They talked back and forth and then I heard, “Mam, this furnace is CONDEMNED. It can no longer be used.” I actually giggled because the way they said it was like the world was going to end tomorrow because my furnace was no longer able to be used. Immediately, I chose NOT to get upset. My husband was a different story. I told him that it would be okay. I researched all that I needed to on furnaces and even got some price quotes from contractors. But luckily, I am able to get an extension, and I actually don’t have to buy a new furnace until September 15th. It was July 1st and I had plenty of time. So I didn’t worry! I didn’t stress over it by telling everyone that I knew about the fact that I didn’t have the money to buy a new furnace. I didn’t play the “woe is me” card! As a matter of fact, when I did talk about it, it was to laugh about the fact that the two young men made it sound like the world was coming to an end.
On Sunday, July 20th, I decided that it was time to have a talk with God about my furnace. I told him that he knows that I need one and if he could find a way that I could get a new one, whether it be through getting clients for our new business or someone just giving me one. On Monday, July 21, I again talked to God about my furnace. Not stressing over it but just mentioning that I really didn’t want to have to ask my mother in law to borrow the money!
Well, at 1:45PM on July 21st, I received a call from the distributor who sells our product that we have with our new business. He wanted to order a substantial amount of our product. Now, please understand that just 3 months ago he wasn’t selling very much of our product, but suddenly he was selling out! The amount of this order will be MORE than enough to take care of purchasing TWO new furnaces!!!!
I have been filled with joy and smiling nonstop since 1:45PM on July 21st! I have shared this story with everyone that I know and people that I don’t know! But I feel that I have to let everyone know… This is REAL!!!! God, Life & the Universe listens to our EVERY word whether it be good or bad, so please always make it GOOD!!!!!!!! ALWAYS MAKE IT GOOD!!!!!!!
Wishing you and yours Peace, Health, & the Freedom to enjoy both!
Sincerely,
Kim Melin
