"... firm believer that prayers can be answered in unexpected ways.... 'Turns out, we weren't late.... We were on God's time. We were exactly where we were supposed to be, when we were supposed to be there. ' "-Brad Ray-Parade magazine

Sometimes we are meant to take the road a certain way.  Yet we become frustrated and impatient.  It is okay to give up the control and know that God intends to use you to help someone else.  What a wonderful thing.  Go with the flow and trust that all will work out.  God wouldn't bring you here to abandon you.  Believe that He will get you through it and the timing is PERFECT!! Peace.

"...there is always a way around a problem - you've just got to find it. Keep trying doors; one will eventually open....accept failure as part and parcel of life. It's not the opposite of success; it's an integral part of success."-Arianna Huffington

Why do we worry so much about the future road we are on?  If we are suppose to be there then it will all work out and if not the right road, we learn a lesson and head where we are to be.  So why worry?  If we spend so much time in fear then we can't enjoy the road we are on.  Let it go!  Move on and stop being afraid.  Trust-there is that word AGAIN!! So hard to give up control...if we only realized we never had it anyways....  Peace.

"Intuition is a spiritual faculty, and does not explain, but simply points the way."-Florence Scovel Shinn

What is this thing that seems to emerge from deep inside the very life of me?  It seems to be whispers from the soul-longing from the heart.  It does not yell or make demands.  It just is like a part of who you are.  To listen to it-trust what it has to say.  Intuition.  Instincts.  Signals from within.  Messages from Self.  Listen. Believe.  Act.  Trust.  Take a risk.  Peace.

"Be willing to believe that a companion Spirit is leading you every step of the way, and knows the next step."-Simple Abundance-Sarah Ban Breathnach

Faith allows us to push past limitation.  We do not have to take that next step alone.  We are not left to take on risk unassisted.  We have help from a loving source who is so willing to wrap us in that love and go forward with us.  We have only to ask, believe, trust and take that first step.  Yes-it is so hard and requires so much faith.  We have nothing to lose and everything to gain.  Trust your heart's urges and go do as you are destined to do. Peace!

"Being always transcends appearance-that which only seems to be. Once you begin to know the being behind the very pretty or very ugly face, as determined by your bias, the surface appearances fade away until they simply no longer matter."-WM. Paul Young-The Shack

I have always been a believer that what is inside or real is so much more important but society makes us biased to what is beauty.  Beauty was my grandmother's gnarled, twisted elderly hand.  Beauty is a bald chemo patient's head.  Beauty is looking deeply into people's eyes.  Beauty is not always what you see at first.  The outside packaging does not always reflect the spirit that is in, around, and through us.  I try so hard to let that spirit that is within me radiate out.  Let us all get past what you see at first to what lies just beyond-it is an amazing view!  Peace!

"Listen to the whispers of your heart. Look within. Your silent companion has lit lanterns of love to illuminate the path.... At long last, the journey you were destined to take has begun."

Urges from heaven.  Soul whispers.  Intuition.  Heart talk.  Destiny.  So often we do not trust where the road is leading us-we want to peek.  Why do we do that to ourselves?  Jump in! Trust! Go for it!  So easy to give others encouragement but not always listening to ourselves.  What is the worse that can happen?  How would you handle that?  Now do it!   You are not alone-God is waiting with a raft.  He would not lead you here to leave you here.  Trust!  Peace.

"Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown."-The Shack

It is ALWAYS scary.  We think we want to know what is ahead of us but in reality why would we.  Life is about living each day excited about possibilities.  If we knew how it would all work out it would be like knowing what is in a gift we are given to unwrap.  You go through the motions but anticipation is what it is all about.  Fear of unknown would disappear if we would just trust and believe that an amazing life is ahead.  Go live it and step around those rocks of fear.  Peace.
