As I sit here tonight; I see in my heart and mind that an amazing opportunity lies before me. I not only welcome it~I see it all around me and through me. I feel soulfully connected to this joyous energy.  I ask others to see it with me and look closely at the joy it will bring me. GOD says we can do greater works than he because we go through Jesus.

I see it & I trust and ask you to see it too. It will be done. All is well!!!

GBE2- #58- Anything

In the GBE2 Writing group, we were called to write about anything we wish, knowing that this is a season of hardship, woe or abundant love and perhaps a combination of all.

Following my heart, I knew just exactly what I wanted to write about.

 My life is in major transition right now. Looking back at the last 6 months to a year, I can stand proud and know I learned an amazing life lesson. I listened to my lord and let go of what I once thought I needed and understood that in this life the only real thing to hang onto is Love. The rest is just stuff.

 I stood up for my integrity and had to say goodbye in October to a career at a human service agency that was my life and passion for nine years. Suffice it to say, I knew leaving was the right option but at the same time, it was difficult to say good bye to all my amazing staff and volunteers that I had directed for several years. I was faced with a hostile work environment and knew the pain and suffering was not worth staying for. Perhaps I will write more in detail about this later, but for now I have to move forward and turn toward my many goals I have set for myself in 2013.

At the same time I dealt with this, I was also having to make tough decisions about whether or not I could save my home to foreclosure. Well, God in his infinite wisdom let the chips fall and showed me I needed to let go and proceed forward and let a short sale happen in January of 2013. That is where I am right now.

Dealing with this amount of hardship has proved worthy. I know that each time in life that I have had this hard pain, something interesting happens. Life gets easier because I have had to let go and live in my faith and just trust.

I am so grateful for this experience..... I am still in the thick of it since I am actively trying to find a place for my children and twin sister to live once the house sells. I have not felt happier in years. It is the simplicity that is being shown to me so brightly. I liken it to the light house as the beacon letting me know that this world is not all there is and what is important is the relationships we have nurtured.

I have not sat back at all since being unemployed. My last day of work was the end of October. I have been involved in a employment program working with recruiters. I am taking full advantage of all the workshops and training classes. I have brushed up on all my computer skills and done: Word, Windows, Keyboarding, Excel and other training at job fairs.

I know that life has not been easy, but the grip the Holy Spirit has had on me has been a gift. I say "Thank you God for all you have given me. I am grateful."

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah and Happy Holidays to all my wonderful online friends. You give me so much and I appreciate it. Big cyber hugs from my family to yours.

Life long pain in rump
No way to flee this
Turn cheek way back
Self care a must do
Fear Not
For you are strong in him
Whom IS YOUR GOD

Spooky goes for a joy ride?

Standing at my kitchen window, I felt relieved. Dishes done, check, counter tops disinfected, check, now I could keep up the pace and continue in my job search. I heard the phone ring in the living room and dashed to answer it. On the other end of the line I heard my sister. Linda's voice trembled as she told me about our three year old puppies' first ride in the convertible. The story went something like this: beautiful sunny day, who could complain? Top down with the wind in their hair. Ellie and Aunt Linda were enjoying the ride on this perfect day. Tunes blaring and puppy in arms, Ellie's large grin painted over her face told aunt Linda she was a happy camper. "This is the best day ever aunt, great car ride with my pup, auntie and the sun shining in on us. Ahhh what a day." Winding around the curve on highway 12, Auntie Linda observes what looks innocent at first glance, but could this prove deadly? A resident of Orono was out walking his dogs on a lovely day in November. I get it, who wouldn't want to be out on this mild November day in 2012? Ellie held her puppy tight knowing any any moment she could jump out. She was a puppy after all and like most puppies, energy, enthusiasm and impulsiveness was part of her DNA. She let her dog put her puppy paws on the convertible top and look out. " I am a queen, a queen doggie who has the world by the doggie bone." Spooky was actually smiling and both Aunt Linda and Ellie nodded in sync. "When the dogs happy, everybody's happy." Aunt Linda warned Ellie sternly that she had better hold her a bit tighter since up ahead she could see the owner and his dogs out for a walk. "oh no Auntie, Spooky is gone, she jumped out." "What? Oh no." Auntie honked her horn so drivers would not run over Spooky. " This is our dog, this is our dog she screamed and she pointed in the direction of the puppy laying out on the road. Please someone help her get into the car." Poor Ellie had to watch in horror as her puppy rolled many times down the highway. She was horrified to see her puppy so vulnerable. All Ellie could think of was how ugly this scenario could turn out. A wonderful hero pulled over and scooped up Spooky in his arms. Bleeding in this good samaritans' car, she looked at her hero with eyes drooping and blood trickling. The man waved my sister over to claim the doggie back. Jumping into Ellies' arms, her puppy kissed her all over her face. "Spooky must know how sad and devastated I am." Her kisses were pronouncing that all would be fine. This reunion of sorts was strangely making water drip down Aunties cheeks. Walking back down the white board room corridor, Ellie listened intently to the professionals advice. "Ellie, Spooky is no worse for the wear after her adventurous day. Spooky took quite a scare, but she is a very brave little girl. Just watch her tonight if any symptoms should arise. Just call if anything concerns you ok?" The vet finished the paperwork and sent them on their way. Ellie held her baby puppy close to her smiling as big as her sense of gratitude. "Spooky, I am so sorry I took you in the car for a ride. I would not know what to do without you in my life. I am so thankful God spared your life. Let's go home baby."
