Letting Go Of Timing
Permalink  
 


"When the time is right, child." When the time is right. How often have we heard those words - from a friend, a sponsor, our Higher Power?

We want things so badly - that job, that check, a relationship, a possession. We want our life to change.

So we wait, sometimes patiently, sometimes anxiously, wondering all the while: When will the future bring me what I long for? Will I be happy then?

We try to predict, circling dates on the calendar, asking questions. We forget that we don't hold the answers. The answers come from God. If we listen closely, we'll hear them. When the time is right, child. When the time is right.

Be happy now.

Today, I will relax. I am being prepared. I can let go of timing. I can stop manipulating outcomes. Good things will happen when the time is right, and they will happen naturally.

Being prepared and manipulating...... a world of difference yet sometimes i get this confused hmm

I do my garden, i desperately want to but lots of new plants but have no money to do so, but i do what i can then i get a gift from a neighbour part of a plant that has grown too big then my mother brings a nice flowering bush, i question did i manipulate these gifts but the answer is no they see my efforts and these gifts are the rewards.......preparation is the key aww
