Dear Friends,
How many times have you said, “I knew that was going to happen!”?  Sometimes you just  knew when something good was going to happen and  something “not so good.”  When you knew something was amiss, or off ,or not good, what did you do? Did you continue to worry and fret about it, or did you change the energy?  What do I mean by changing the energy?  PRAY!  In the world of energy everything is fluid, nothing fixed. I have had many experiences where if I hadn’t prayed for the Highest and Best outcome, I may not be here today.
A simple example  just happened to me recently which continued to confirm my “knowing” we can influence an outcome.
Steve and I were  in charge of a very important meeting last week where we were expecting 26 people.  We were meeting in a new location at one of the churches in the San Diego area.  We planned to be there at 12:30pm to set up meeting tables, food tables, chairs and a PowerPoint presentation for a 1pm meeting.  The person who was to open the door to let us in said he could not be there right at 12:30, and would get there as soon as he could.
The night before I just KNEW he was going to be late, and people would arrive and the doors would be locked right up until 1pm.  This anxious feeling lasted all evening and by the time I went to bed I decided to PRAY.  My prayer was not that this gentleman would be on time, my prayer was to SURRENDER TO GOD’S Outcome of the whole situation. There was nothing I could do physically  to ensure his arriving early, so the  meeting would begin on time.
The next morning during my prayer/mediation time, the THOUGHT came to me, “Get there at 12:30.”
I told Steve and we made sure we got to the church by 12:30.  One car was in the driveway. We came up to the church and the doors were locked.  I knocked and two lovely young ladies answered the door. We told them who we were and what we were doing there. They had no idea we were coming and were not informed about our meeting.  However they were so sweet and gracious, and they helped us begin to set up.  Shortly another man showed up and helped us.  Other people started coming in. ( A bit unheard of in CA when most people arrive late) Tables, chairs, tablecloths, power point and everything was easily done. The man who was to unlock the doors, came in at 12:55,  saw the activity of people and was quite surprised. Needless to say the meeting was extremely energetic and successful!
“God always has a way,
where to human sight there is no way!”
I believe these lovely 2 young women were God’s blessings to us and the answer to my prayer of surrender.
When in doubt, when anxious, when in trouble,  when you know there is nothing you can do, SURRENDER to God and the way and the answer will be made clear and visible.
