With God anything is possible. Without God, well it’s a rougher road to travel and it gets really exhausting. My experience tells me this is true. I’m not referring to the God of religion, but more of a higher power, creator God. It feels very important for me to get this lesson, the sooner the better, as it will directly impact my future. Usually, whether of not we are aware, this is the case. We receive a lesson or an opportunity to incorporate a learning into our lives that will have a direct influence on future events. The trick is being awake enough to realize this could happen.

I’ve been selling my products as a stall holder at a few Winter/Christmas fares locally this month. It’s been quite a learning experience as these were my first events I’ve ever participated in as a seller. It was really cool to think that people I didn’t know would purchase something I created. It’s a wonderful feeling. I really love rock tumbling, seeing the beauty in each rock revealed is quite a thrill! It’s fun for me to share this beauty with others.

My first experience as a stall holder was amazing. There was a decent amount of people that morning who came through the event, but it didn’t seem to matter because by noontime, I had only sold 2 pendants. My friend called me to see how I was getting along and I reported on my sales. She reminded me about turning it all over to God which led me to saying my favorite Florence Scovel Shinn affirmation:

I cast the burden on the Christ within and i go free.

In that moment, I made an intention to turn the rest of the day over to God. I placed my faith and trust in God’s plan for me. I let go of any expectations I had and relaxed into the experience. What a difference that made. Less people came to the event in the afternoon, but it didn’t seem to matter. People stopped at my table as if they were drawn there. The rest of the day went incredibly well and I really enjoyed myself. I had plenty of energy at the end of the event and was more than happy with how the experience went!

The trick is in remembering to do this daily!

The second event went ok. There were less people that came through than the first event. I had forgotten to turn my day over to God. My mistake. The third event was the worst of all. I really struggled with my energy and I could feel there was something off with my table set up. Things just didn’t feel right. And as it turned out, even with four times more people attending, I had less sales than the first event and I was exhausted afterwards leaving me feeling drained and disappointed.

Guess what I forgot to do . . . again? 🤦‍♀️

That’s right – I forgot to give my day to God. How could I have forgotten? It was a huge cost I experienced. Unfortunately, sometimes it needs to be this way – so we remember not to make the same mistakes over and over again. I used my own energy to sell my things, it was hard work. Sometimes pain is a good motivator. These three events clearly demonstrated the power of turning my life and will over to God. God’s plan for me is by far more abundant and prosperous than any other plan I could have imagined.

The difference between the three events show without a doubt, with God, all things are possible. With God, my life is easier, there is flow and amazing things happen. I’m happy to include God in my daily life as it is his Will, and not my will that keeps me on my Divine path.

I only desire that which Infinite Intelligence desires through me. I claim that which is mine by Divine right, and under Grace in a perfect way!

Florence advises to go out and prove the Principles in our everyday life. 

Acknowledge me in all your ways and I will direct your paths.

Here’s another great one:

I have weapons ye not know of, I have ways which will astound you.

Give it a try. You can’t go wrong. The Divine plan for us is by far greater than anything we can imagine. God places people on our path, takes us to places, and allows for synchronicities that leave the mind in awe. I sure am going to continue to include God in my day. I even thought of getting a tattoo on my inner eye lids to help me remember! 🤣

I know with all my heart my future depends on it as failure to do so may have devastating consequences. I choose not to go there, so I will endeavor to have God’s Will for me lead the way!
