Inspirational Sunday

Praise God from whom all of our blessings flow!

I had a serious moment of self-doubt rise up within my thoughts.
It seemed to be like an torrential downpour that was threatening to flood over my spirit.

A moment like this is not new to me. I have experienced this over the course of my lifetime. It seems that whenever I am moving through that dark moment in life on the confidence of my faith~self-doubt makes an appearance.

I am back at the beginning of an event. I am looking for my next employment situation. This time last year I was at home on a voluntary lay-off. After 18 years of working with children, I was able to set aside the routine of work.

At that particular time it was necessary for me to de-stress. We had been through so much! It was not an easy decision to act upon~just necessary. It felt good to be relieved of the responsibilities that come with having a teaching position.

This time around~I am glad to be relieved of the weight that was connected to the position that I resigned from. Yes, I broke the golden rule of leaving a job. I left without having secured another one. Which has not been a move that I have made since my teenage years. At that point in my life~I was living at home and had no doubt that the roof over my head was secure. My parents were paying the bills and providing all that I needed.

I have been working on a different attitude about searching for a job. The situation that I just left taught me a lot about who I am as a teacher. Also what not to do this time around.

My plan is good. I know this because it was given to me from out of the spirit. I know that in due time and on time~where I am supposed to step in will have an open door.

The moment of self-doubt that rained down on me was a signal.
It was time to do as God advises. Be still and know that I am God.

That is an important moment in my spiritual life. It is the time when my ears need to hear, my eyes need to be focused to see what my Creator wants to show me.

It is the time when the Holy Spirit speaks words of life, wisdom and knowledge into my thoughts. The peace that is needed expands and the doubt is absorbed by my faith.

I praise God and give thanks for the moment of self~doubt. It was the needed friction for my spirit. Out of that moment came the level of positivity that I needed. The reassurance that no matter what is going on~God has got things under control.

Be blessed this week! Take time to be still. Get your blessing of wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

May your going out and coming back in be blessed with safety.
May the doors of the universal storehouse be open and all that you need be provided.
