Hi Everyone,
As I’ve been trying to grow myself, I have felt myself in a loop and feeling frustration. I handled it gracefully, and still am, but it’s been a challenging couple of months that is still being experienced. Only now I’ve made a little headway and feel like I’ve broken through the loop and now need to let myself ride the wave.
I have been frustrated trying to figure out what I need to do to grow my business to the height that I envision for it. Everything and everyone in the expert field says that I have to have clarity or a goal before I can move forward. I have had a strong sense of direction, but I’ve been lacking in clarity, assuming I’m understanding what they all mean by it. I kept thinking that I had to know exactly what I was going to do (i.e. marketing tactics), but nothing was clear. I have been struggling between how I think I’m supposed to do things and how to just be me to a truer depth that I wasn’t even aware of. I’ve always been a sincere and increasingly intuitive person. So the awareness that I have a deeper layer of my being that has not been expressed surprised me. I wasn’t aware that I’ve been dealing with the issue of how to just be me to an even truer sense until recently.
I’ve had the issue of worrying whether I did something right or wrong and of not being good enough. So I have forgotten some of who I really am. And who I really am is a child of God. The depth of just what that means is what I’m currently exploring.
So I did some deep mediprayer and it came to me to just write and not worry about the rest right now. The more my purpose aligns with God, the more the pieces will come together when the time is right. I don’t need to know everything. I just need to do as Spirit within me moves me and let it all flow. I am at new beginnings of growth and learning who I am. I find it empowering and challenging. Thank you, Lord.
So here’s the interesting things that I received clarity on as I began to break through my loop. I let myself be open to receiving His Love and wisdom. And God’s Love helped me to understand to a deeper layer that God is in control, so I don’t need to worry. I let myself be open and felt how since God is in control, then I am in His Hands and so things are perfect, because it is all part of God’s perfect plan. So I can let myself be the spirit within me. It is then that I am one with God.
God’s Love always guides true. Being able to understand that guidance can be the challenge. But because God loves us, it is His Spirit that touches our hearts and guides us to grow, build and become in beautiful ways to express His Love. Being created in the image of God’s Love is about each of us becoming His finger to help and elevate each other. I assume the simplest (althought not necessarily easiest) way to do that is to let it happen.
Let yourself be who God created you to be. Let yourself see yourself as God sees you. As His child you are infinite and loved infinitely. With His spirit within you, you are powerful. Does it make any sense to see ourselves as anything less than capable to do great things and know great abundance? After all, this is what our Lord wants for us. So why not let it?
When we go against our true selves, we are going against God. That’s what makes life so hard. When we let ourselves be open to God’s Love and guidance, we create an alignment and partnership with the Hand that makes everything right, fluid, and the best it can be.
It’s quite an adventure. Let’s have fun with it.
Blessings,
Irene

I think you and I must be in a very similar season in life =). I knew exactly what you were talking about and loved the picture you posted! Over the last couple of years, I have been learning to be the goose among penguins and be bold enough to throw off the jacket and not pretend to be someone God never intended me to be =).
