following happens hold invested laws ok trusting
It is OK for me to hold out for what I want. It is OK for me to find a way to make it happen. As long as I am following my truth, as long as I am not invested in how or when it happens or who helps, it is more than OK. Trusting the outcome, trusting the laws of the universe, is different from being invested in the outcome.
accept anytime based coming committed consequences following god longer looking means natural peace reasonable somebody trusting truth walking whatever
Anytime I am looking to somebody else as my source, I'm coming from scarcity. I am no longer trusting God, or the Universe, for my harvest. It's reasonable for me to have expectations based on what somebody I trust has committed to. And it's natural for me to feel disappointed when that somebody doesn't come through. But when I feel more than disappointment, when I also feel anger, it's because I deviated from my truth. It's because I compromised my truth to get what somebody else promised. Because when I'm really following my truth, I will be at peace with the consequences ù whatever they are. I can accept somebody else's truth, but I must live my own truth. And sometimes that means walking away from a relationship.
abundance god privilege responsibility rest walk
It is not only my right and my privilege to walk in the abundance God has for me, it is my responsibility...just as it is my responsibility to live the rest of my truth.
decide edge giver return sit stay three toward turn walking water whether yield
I still find myself walking away from the water's edge before I have what I need. I turn around and walk back toward the water ...sometimes two or three times, as if I can't decide whether to stay or leave. I will sit down more often and yield to the giver ...and when I return to my desk, I will have what I want to give.
easy greet heaven jumping lovely majesty ocean reminds rise shower start sun wake watching
Watching the sun rise over the ocean is making it easy for me to wake up and get out of bed. I'm not jumping up to take a shower or go to work. I'm jumping up to greet the majesty of the day, of God, of me. The majesty reminds me that God's in his heaven ... and so am I. And, heaven is a lovely place to start the day, a lovely place to live.
giving hope joy praise purpose sow
Today, I will know the unadulterated joy of giving with no strings. I acknowledge that sometimes I hope for praise or reciprocation when I give ... and that that detracts from the joy of giving. Today, the giving will be my joy. I know that I will sow what I reap, but I will not sow for the purpose of reaping. I will sow for the joy of sowing.
connecting desk faces flower gives good heart nature reviewing space talking window wonderful
When I am me, I can see me in my space. My desk faces the window and an ocean. The flower on my desk gives off a wonderful aroma. The refrigerator has something in it I feel good about eating. When I am me, I can see me in my day. I am writing. I am talking from a heart of love. I am reviewing my notes, or editing, or walking, or something outside. I am connecting with nature and people.
deterrent launching seen settling
I have, in the past, seen settling down as a deterrent to growth. It doesn't have to be, though. It can be the launching of new growth.
lose miss newness nurture
If I nurture the newness while I have it, perhaps, I won't lose it at least not for something less. And if I nurture what I keep, perhaps, I won't miss what I have lost.
hear quiet truth
If we quiet our minds, we can hear the truth discerned by the heart.
acting caught talking
If we're not careful, we can get caught up in talking about what we don't know ...instead of acting on what we do know.
avoid taking
I don't have to be doing too much to avoid taking on more!
feels time
Here I am again. And the familiarity feels more uncomfortable than comfortable. It's time to make a change. And, now, I have what we need to make it.
cried deeper feels god quit remind sound trying weary
I cried, and cried some more. I told God that I was weary of trying. And, God told me to quit trying. It doesn't sound like a revelation, but it feels like a revelation. Because I got it on a deeper level. I'm going to quit trying. When I forget, I'm going to remind myself. I'm going to do what I want to do; and I'm going to quit trying to do the rest. It's not the doing that's exhausting; it's the trying. The doing is exhilarating!
