One of my favorite things to say, “if you pray for potatoes grab a hoe.” Meaning, if I ask for a new job I will inevitably must do a job search and go an interview. This mantra will get me off my ass and into the work of digging for potatoes.

Difficult

“Some answers seem so Damn Difficult.” - Spawn*

Al Simmons is a secret agent for the United States. He is married to a lovely woman, Wanda, and they have a little girl, Cyan. He has a happy life. While in Botswana, his agency director, Jason Wynn orders Simmons death by his partner, Bruce Stinson. For all his assassinations Al Simmons is sent to hell. To see his wife and daughter one last time Simmons makes a deal with the devil Malebolgia to become the Hellspawn. Once the Simmons sees his wife and daughter are happy and being cared for by his best friend, Terry Fitzgerald, Al becomes conflicted and breaks his contract with Malebolgia. Spawn fights the demons and agents sent his way to bring him back to hell.

We have all experienced asking for something and receiving the answer, “No”. Some answers are very difficult to hear. There is an answer to every request – it takes time for answers to come sometimes. We never know what answer the universe will give and that can be confusing. Sometimes we feel we must jump through hoops to find the answers. Sometimes we feel the journey toward the answer is long and difficult. Forget what turbulence the universe sends our way, forget what the answers “might be” just complete the mission or goal and receive the answer. At the end there will be peace and comfort with new hope at the prospect of more questions to ask.
