As a woman of faith, I may not know how to handle every situation, but I do always have a Source of guidance and opportunity. Recently I’ve experienced people behaving in ways that weren’t what I was expecting. These friends made choices that seemed out of character for them and didn’t make me feel good. Thankfully I’ve reached a place in my own development that enabled me to avoid reacting. Instead, I privately acknowledged my feelings, consulted my Source of guidance, and decided to hold off taking any action.
This week, as I was moving through my usual routines and activities, I was given the opportunity to connect with each of these individuals. By opportunity I don’t mean we just happened to be at the same event – I mean I would turn the corner and run smack into them! In each instance my friend reached out to me. Maybe after two and a half years of weekly writing about receiving, I’m finally getting it; maybe it was my guardian angel nudging me. Whatever the cause, I didn’t miss the moment. I accepted their warm acknowledgement and the fence mending began.
Receiving comes in many forms and often in unexpected ways. To enhance your ability to be more receptive, take quiet time every day, not just for reflection, but to sit in the silence. Give your Source a few minutes to be heard. The outcome may astound you!
