Can You Hear Me Now?

  Today was a day for receiving some divine guidance. There were two posts on my Facebook feed about God's timing and the importance of waiting on His will. While I was with my client this morning at her doctor's appointment, the hospital chaplain came out and greeted us. He spoke very passionately about "going through and having a positive mindset by speaking God's word into our situations. Looking on the surface it appeared to be just a coincidence that he came over to us; especially since we were getting up to leave; but I learned long ago that in the Spirit world there are no coincidences, just divine interventions. It's funny because just a few minutes earlier one of the hospital chaplains came over the loud system and led everyone in a morning prayer. I remember sitting there thinking, "wow no one turned the TV off or stopped their conversations while he's praying. God was gracious enough to give me front row seating!

Ch Ch Changes.....

        The saying goes that all good things must end; I'd rather see it as things changing in order to create space for new blessings and opportunities. This past school year was filled with lasts, last grades posted, last class picture taken, last sol test given, and the last time I packed up my classroom for summer break. There is no sadness, how can there be when you are doing what you are called to do. My time in a classroom was wonderful filled with many memories but God is calling me in another direction. Knowing this to be true and walking in that faith is scary. Especially for someone who has spent a good portion of their life dreading changes and mourning what was perceived as losses rather than seeing it as a chance for growth.
         Fortunately now when I become fearful, I bend my knees and remember where my strength comes from. I am embracing this next chapter of my story with an open heart to better receive all that awaits me.
