Todays Affirmation: Believe. This is actually yesterdays affirmation, which I had planned to write last night, but sleepiness took over and well, here I am, 3:30 in the morning, awakened with Believe running through my mind. Stepping out in faith takes a lot of believing. I have to believe that Im being led by the Spirit; that Im following the path chosen for me, that all things have led me to this place, this time, this doing. I have to shed my doubt and my vulnerability, and I have to consciously step forward, trusting that the Divine really is holding me up and has my back. And I believe. Every single event, every person, every lesson is brought to me in order to teach me something that will be of use to me further down my road. In all of that, I know that there is something working in my life that is so much bigger than me. Like that potter who shapes and moves and pushes the clay to make a bowl or mug or vase, the Divine shapes, moves and pushes me to continue learning. To continue to be open to seeing whats in front of me. To continue to believe. I look at the doors, windows and cracks that have opened for me, and I am grateful. Not by my own doing, all has been done through grace. The muck, the mire, the wonder. And convinced that its all done for my greater good, in order for me to do greater good, I believe. Some days, these steps are hard to take. Trust is hard to hold onto. Belief is a bit tenuous. However, if I let go of fear and let God lead me, trusting the instinct Ive been given, praying for the answers to appear - it all works. Its not magic, its the mystery of faith and belief. Now that Ive written, the niggling will stop - for a while. Time to pray, and rest for a while more, believing that tomorrow will be another amazing gift, no matter the form of the gift - muck, mire or wonder. I pray that I / you / we will gain rest, that we will have eyes wide open to see the wonder when we awaken in the morning. Blessings, blessings, all around.
