Looks like my time frame for this may be the same as Harijan. I am somewhat concerned about my own financial situation, too, but perhaps this is just an opportunity for God to create some miracles in my life.

I’ll try to keep you posted when I find out more.

Over the years, I have struggled with saying the obligatory prayer each day. I think, perhaps, I resisted the aspects of it that were particularly humbling. Indeed, it would appear to me now, that perhaps the primary purpose of the obligatory prayer is to instill more humility.

Now I find that even when I am running late, my obligatory prayer has become even more important to me than getting to work on time. I will admit to occasionally rushing through it, however.

It basically came down to making it a priority in my life. I decided that if I truly believe in Bahá’u’lláh, then I ought to be doing what he has told me to do. There are a few obvious activities here and the obligatory prayer is one of the more obvious ones. I also say alla’u’abha 95 times a day as well. What’s more, I believe I am beginning to have an idea why that is important.

There are still a few areas that I need improvement with, in regards to being completely obedient to the laws, but I think I am getting really close, and I have to admit, I have been getting many benefits from the whole process. For one, my confidence has been growing quite a bit.

Next on my list is studying the writings every day.

Good luck to everyone

It’s taken some time, but I actually am doing what I love for a living. I don’t suppose it will ever be “perfect”, however, I believe that there is still something that doesn’t quite fit. Perhaps I will find it while I am in my current position, or perhaps I will find it elsewhere.

In any case, I do enjoy most of my job.
