Faith is putting all your eggs in God’s basket,
then counting your blessings before they hatch.

then counting your blessings before they hatch.

I came across the quote above while reading Chicken Soup for the Soul, Dreams and Premonitions. I read it shortly after talking with a minister friend who has changed her way of VISIONING for herself. She is only asking for her Highest and Best and What is Hers To Do. She has let go of Visioning for church growth and church finances and relying entirely on God for all her blessings, whatever they may be and whatever role or job she plays.
I am in agreement with her. When we ask, accept and declare our Highest Good, our Highest Service and surrender to the Master Mind of the Universe, (who knows how to keep this Universe going…!), we let go and let God take over. I have had the BEST ideas, guidance, direction and demonstrations when I have just “given up” my way and say, “I’m done God, it is up to you!”
In 1990 I was DONE with church. I gave it up at a stop sign on my way home from a mainstream church. Church, or so I thought, was not a fit for me. Once I let go and stopped trying to “find” the perfect church by hopping from one to another every Sunday, God was able to swoop in and guide me to my highest and best! The next week I received an invitation to a workshop from a church I had never heard of, a Religious Science church. I attended and found my “HOME.” Well the rest is history. Never in a million years did I think I would be a minister, and a minister in a faith tradition I had never heard of in 1990.
So GIVE IT A TRY! Put ALL your eggs (wants, desires, visions) in God’s basket. Be done with “trying” and be open to God’s Highest and Best for you in your life. Allow the NEW you to crack wide open and BE who God intended you to be!
