aha14: not mine

Aha14
Today  as I reflect on the foot steps leading to the release of my second book Wild Wellies Wanted and the signing of a lease on a new home for t*da studio— 

I'm aware that I'm also more and more at ease with the belief that I possess absolutely 

Nothing.

And for this, I am exceptionally 

Grateful.

It's an answered prayer, really.

"Work through me, Lord," I pray daily, tagging my request with:

"Your will 

"Not mine."

I'm not saying I never get grabby, trigger happy 

Or just plain forget who is in charge here.

And yet

As I ask and listen with more intention, I seem to find endless examples of magnificently-timed sacred departures and arrivals everywhere I turn.

The majestic head of the towering sunflower I nurtured from a single seed begins its descent and I feel a tinge of sadness.  

But then

I notice a fresh new face 

Peering coyly over its shoulder.

It smiles back at me and breaks me open 

As only that which I do not control or possess can do.

Nature, the great teacher.

The patient reminder.

Are you aware of how you cultivate and embrace divine timing in your life?  Does viewing life's gifts as "loans" prosper your life today?
