The way we think everything should and will happen just may not be according to God’s will of good for us. – Anonymous There is no doubt that there have been numerous instances in my life in which I thought things should have happened in a certain way in order to be in my best interest. But more was revealed, and the way the situation unfolded turned out to be a blessing and clearly for my spiritual upliftment. These days I’m really not clear why the unfoldment of my new life is happening the way it is, and I just want to get on with it! But I am grateful for the reminders that come my way via a person, a reading, etc. showing me that there is a Divine Plan, God is in charge, and all is unfolding perfectly. I pray to keep surrendering to Spirit’s Plan and relax in the peace, love and joy of it.

“… turmoil… would disappear if we comfortably relied on God to take charge of our life every moment… willingness to let God have total charge of our life. If we do, we will know a new peacefulness – immediately. I will let God be in total charge of my life today. I’ll not be controlled by fear. God will smooth my way.” – In God’s Care, October 26 Yesterday’s house hunting expedition in Sedona held many lessons. I had been praying my butt off, had friends praying for us, and I had signed up on about five prayer sites for strangers to pray for me. So what was the prayer I was asking help with? That we find and secure our perfect home in Sedona with ease and grace in a perfect way TODAY. I felt we had to find it TODAY, because I have a position starting in a week there and we’ve no place yet to call home. We didn’t leave Sedona yesterday consciously having our new home, and maybe one of the ones we drove by is it. But it doesn’t matter. I realized that I had once again been trying to control things, that I had … Continue reading →

Let God love you through others and let God love others through you. – D. M. Street“Every person in our life is an invitation to know God better. …emissaries of God who have been sent to teach us about love.” – In God’s Care, October 24 Rog stepped into my life five years ago this past July, and he has been loving me and I have been loving him just about since that first match.com email. Through his love I have had a glimmer of what God’s unconditional love is like. I’ve healed a bit from my family of origin hurts by observing Rog with his children, seeing the kind of father he is. He’s a great role model and teacher for me in many areas, and his character, spirit, and love are a wonderful blessing to me. I’m grateful to Rog’s parents for bringing his spirit into this world, for his mom going through childbirth, and for the Great Mystery once again getting these two twin flames together in this lifetime. Thank you, Rog, for all of your love, all that you are, and all the best that you bring out in me. Thank you for this wonderful sacred … Continue reading →

Ah… “Nothing but the best” is what is meant for this child of God and all of us. But who determines what the best is for me? Surely with my limited knowledge, it cannot be me! God determines what is best for me, for He knows the full plan. So while I affirm “Nothing but the best,” I must release all expectations of what that exactly means. Dear God;Help me to accept Your will for me, knowing that You only give me “Nothing but the best.”

This afternoon I was blessed with being witness to the interaction between seven newborn pups about 10 hours old and their mom Kanaloa, a cocker spaniel, a recent addition to the family of some friends of ours. Kanaloa is a bit young herself yet this was her third (and last) litter. She showed care and attention to her young ones very naturally, who just wanted to be close to their mom. Kanaloa is a sweetheart to start off with and stole my heart when I first met her. Seeing her take care of her pups made her even sweeter in my eyes. If ever there was a role model for us humans, here is one. She started giving birth at 3:00 AM, without a whimper or cry, with ease, grace, and dignity. She tended to each pup as s/he emerged from their sac, and continued to clean them up and feed them. One was a stillborn, but Kanaloa didn’t linger in the past but moved forward to take care of those in the here and now. She’s a medium-sized dog and to see all those puppies around her it’s hard to imagine how she managed to be in such great … Continue reading →
