To Tithe is to trust

Tithe-ing is a foreign concept to me. As you can see, I don't even know how to add a suffix to it. In fact, I always thought it was a christian concept. Boy, did my Rabbi correct me quickly on that one! In the book of Genesis Abraham tithed. According to my rabbi, jews tithe. I never even thought to do it until I read Edwene Gaines' book of the 4 laws of spiritual prosperity. Her southern accent and deep faith drew me in. Her first law on tithing (titheing?) was hard to swallow, she even admits it. We can barely budget for 5%, 10% seems outrageous, embarrasing and irresponsible. But I'm the first one in line to get closer to God and I'm more than ready to have some prosperity in my life. She says to tithe where you get your spiritual food. I thought of a few places right off the bat. Edwene's grandfather used to say, "If you have to eat a frog, don't look at it too long, it won't get any prettier. And if you have to eat more than one, eat the biggest first." So I ate the frog and wrote the first check to my friend who introduced the book to me. She was so touched, it made it more than worthwhile.

A few weeks later after tithing a few times, I ran out of ideas where I've gotten my spiritual food. So I said, "God, I can not think of one more place to send my tithe and I get my paycheck in 2 days, please send me some spiritual food". I had a haircut scheduled that evening which I was late for, again. My hairdresser, who has been cutting my hair for years, forgave me. Again. She started talking about the class she is taking in A Course In Miracles, and the teachings of Esther Hicks/Abraham. I was floored. I had known this women for years and she never once shared this information. This information being the very places that I get spiritual food and had recently tithed to. Needless to say, God answered my prayers and quickly, I might add. By the time I left her with her payment for my haircut plus the tithe we were both crying. There might be something to this after all.

Get This Party Started

We all have great ideas. But how often do we actually follow through on our ideas?
This site is for supporting each other on the action steps it takes to follow through on our great ideas. I'm a chiropractic kinesiologist and I want people to know who I am and what I do. Ways I have gotten into action is by taking courses through Landmark Education, an international training and development company, and Peak Potentials Training, one of the fastest growing business and personal success training companies in North America. From these courses I have put several teams around me to support me in all the various things I want to accomplish. I have my home team consisting of my husband and kids, our purpose is to raise each other to be the best people we know. This means we spend time as a family, listen intently to each other and share our hopes and dreams for this moment and in the future. I have my Landmark team, a group of people that hold me to my word. I have my Wealth In Action Team who always see me bigger than I see myself. And I have my MasterMind team who keep me on task. What ideas do you have that could use some action steps to get started? What teams do you want or desire around you to help make things happen? Let's be in action together.
