A way is being prepared for you by Bryant McGill There are times in our lives when we finally get out of the funk and fog of our past just far enough, that a clearing starts to take place in our minds. Maybe we begin to believe we can and should do something we have wanted to do for a very long time, where the impossible starts to look possible. It could be going back to school or turning a hobby into a business. Perhaps we want to leave a relationship that has lingered on too long and is hurting everyone. It could be a risky career change or leaving your town to live a new adventure somewhere else that is calling to you. It could be overcoming an addiction, asking forgiveness or rekindling a broken relationship. When the clearing starts to happen, and we begin to see the path of possibility in ourselves widening, we often need help to make the journey. Maybe we need a little extra money or a place to stay where we are safe. Perhaps we need some tools, favors or just some moral support and encouragement. In moments like this, we may turn to our friends and family, only to discover that the community of people who have known us the longest cant see the same clearing or vision. The clearing is often only happening for us, and those who love us most cannot see or believe in our nascent visions, because they can only see yesterday. But if you have a deep desire to move forward, a way is being prepared for you. This is when the stranger appears. The stranger arrives when your heart is broken open, ready and believing. The strangers eye is clear and not stained with your past mistakes. They are the ones who will leave you that hundred dollar tip or unexpectedly offer you a new opportunity. They are the ones who will stop and change your tire on the freeway, or give you a place to stay for a while. She is the one who compassionately looked you in the eye in the store when your abusive partner was yelling at you. Like an angel, he came in at the last moment and gave you the support or the advice you needed. They made the call to a friend and put themselves at risk to open an essential door for you because they saw something amazing in you. The stranger is the one who gave you something that was a much bigger personal sacrifice than you ever knew, because she did it with humility, grace, and with no expectation. The stranger is the one who believed in you when no one else would. The stranger uplifted you with words of hope and optimism when you were at your lowest. The stranger silently suffered to give you room to recover and to try again. The stranger meets you halfway on a bridge called faith. The stranger is coming to make someones dreams come true. The strangers hand is appearing out of nowhere and rescuing someone just before they slip over the edge. The strangers appearance is in perfect time and is a miracle. The stranger could be a real life angel. Have faith and courage, and — BE THE STRANGER. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have been blessed beyond all normal bounds by all kinds of strangers, natural, supernatural and extraterrestrial....... They have stood by me in my darkest hours and they have shouldered me through some of the toughest of times and have been there to celebrate my most joyous moments and been there guiding me when choices were too close for me to make... They are all strangers no longer.... they are now friends and family numbering in the thousands..... I hope to be the stranger who becomes your friend and well wisher always, who you can turn to at any point in time...... IN Love Light and Gratitude... PS: The way is already prepared.... I am walking towards it as I type..... wish me luck...... :)
