A God Minute (revisited)
Life on the farm is a school of patience;
you can’t hurry the crops or make an ox in two days.
Never cut what you can untie.
For the next couple of week’s I am revisiting some of my older posts. In part it is seeking balance and taking a couple week’s off -but I also have realized that my list has grown so much over the past year, many have not even seen these early posts. When I revisited, here was this picture or Rosie and me…and a reminder of how things do shift.
First, I want to say that my “mascot” Rosie (Rosebud) seen in this picture was the inspiration for my first Thursday Kick! Of course it had everything to do with her being a donkey…and believe me there have been many times over the past two years I have needed my “donkey” kicked…Tom would often make the reference to us having “stubborn” in common.
The sad news is that Rosie was lost in the spring floods this year. The same rains that devastated Tennessee impacted us as well. We all miss her. We never found her, so there is a slight possibility she is eating someone’s hay and Long John Silver’s Lobster Bites…(inside joke) so if you hear about a pink donkey with bad feet that loves her food let me know! She was a personality to be reckoned with…she and I respected each other and I learned a lot from her. She helped the kids heal after the divorce and brought us much entertainment. (Mainly because the kids would compare her nature to mine!) I find it ironic that with her I did learn how to “stand my ground” and in the end it was Rosie that was swept away.
And, to add to this drama, as our Guides and Angels drop feathers and elephants on our heads to get our attention, I received an elephant with this “brilliant idea to revisit past posts”…I randomly picked “A God Minute” thinking, “this feels right”.
Well…after reminiscing about Rosie, I went to the Virginia Small Business Development Center and met with Sue Wagner (she is wonderful). I had a business plan I needed help with and an outline for the expansion of Queen of Color Enterprises, LLC. I laughed when I read this entry and revisited those prior circumstances and emotions from 2008 where I was ready to just quit… that is so far behind me!
I am glad I gave my circumstances a God Minute, and now that I look at it, giving it a God Week, a God Month, and a God Year is making more and more sense! SO MANY of you are having some struggles, take a breath and use this entry for inspiration, because no matter what, if you keep your dreams in your heart and your feet moving in your heart’s direction, eventually, inevitably you will arrive at happy. I am proof of that, and it just keeps getting better and better.
Here is the entry from September 18, 2008, enjoy!
This week’s kick is about challenge, I actually went back and forth about challenges and faith, trying to discern which would be more appropriate. In fact, it is offering yourself a “God Minute” which is what challenge and faith are all about. What is a “God Minute”? It is the reason, the answer in the statement “everything happens for a reason”. A “God Minute” is longer than you think you can wait and then after it all is said and done…it finally makes sense. AND you realize it could not have happened any other way NOR in any other time frame. In fact it all happened amazingly fast if you really look at the path!
As always, I bring this to my own evolution and experiences. In part, what makes me a resource to my clients is the fact I have “been there-done that”. AND it seems as if I encounter a life lesson, a challenge, and the next thing I know, a client walks through the door needing encouragement and advice on a similar experience or situation!
God Minute’s are revelations of the lessons from the path traveled. Think about the role of free will in manifesting…it is not just YOUR will –it is everyone else and their free will choices that also come into play. So, it may take a while for the universe to get things lined up. It is the water meandering its way through the stream and flowing free, when it meets a rock it either flows over or around, but it still finds its way.
At a meeting on Monday I was talking with the group about my new direction, leaving a clinic setting and moving into private practice in Southwest Virginia is a big step…I kept telling myself, “one more week” “one more thing” change this, tweak this- all that is involved in small business. Then, it came, doubt, and others actually telling me, “Cath, maybe you should get a real job” or “Cath, get back into teaching.” I knew in my heart I was on the right track, after all I tell everyone to follow their joy and that is where abundance is, right? Then I thought, what if this knowing, this ambition is like a gambling addiction? you know, “one more day, one more thing…and it will all fall into place”!
Well, I am here to say that it is safe to follow your dreams! I finished my office this weekend and have a full schedule for the first time since I have made the move to Abingdon, Virginia. It was overnight, literally. I was pleased when two clients this week complimented my work and stated that I was the “best kept secret.” Fortunately for me, they, and many other clients are not keeping me a secret, and all has taken off. I am grateful. BUT I can tell you in all honesty I WAS looking at university jobs last week!
So, I look back and see my God Minute was only a few months. I bless all of my friends and clients who have helped and supported my choices and my talents. I am grateful.
Have a great week, and hold on because if that tug comes from your heart and you know against everyone else’s opinion that you are heading in the right direction, take a breath and give it a God Minute. Those challenges are just directional corrections! How about you? Have you had anything similar- just about ready to give it up and BAM! it all falls into place? I would love to hear about it.
Blessings, Catherine
