"Don't miss this. Don't miss your life. There's infinitely more than the experience of love we already know.
Push against your borders. Dare to move through the next threshold to the freedom awaiting you."
(Paula D'Arcy)
Hey Grateful, I am trying soo hard not to "miss this" but with this freakin financial thing not lifiting, I am still, trying to see a sign and "opportunity" to go over an NOTHING but plumbing issues now or something else....ca't find this dang leak that is intermittent in my bathtub in Master BR.....think it has something to do w/overlow, but my gerry rigged caulking failed me last night when I must have gotten water, "back there" to see the leak...I am going to ease up today and meditate......try to shake this negativity and hoplessness off me, but giving it over.....b/c I don't see any freedom in site for me....just me trying not to drown.....this house has just been a curse re: the plumbing...thought I had pretty much gone round the clock, but then another drain pipe would need replace........really bummed today b/c I can't afford to have the guy come look at this bathtub, so I am gonna wait and see what my handman can figure out................I wold LOVE to not "miss my life" but I am so busy trying to just survive, I can't even live................gonna go meditate and toss this off me...

HP works in mysterious ways. Last week by Thursday I started running dangerously low on food. I am of a humble Christian background and steered away from church and broke down and cried and prayed. I have children to feed. What will I do? I need to trust you and leave this with you and I will try today to find a way. I went to work and at lunch time one of the business associates had ordered a tremendous amount of food to feed the company for lunch...I felt like I was watching the parable of Jesus with the small piece of bread and fish. There was far too much for all that had been present to eat. I was asked to clean up and begged to take the food home so it wouldn't go to waste. No one at work is aware of my situation. I try to focus on work and steer away from telling anyone of the issues at home. There was these huge trays of fruit and veggies and meat, cheese, salads, and wraps. Not only did I have supper for them that evening...I am still packing lunches with the veggies and using the sandwich meat....it seems surreal. Ask and it will be given. Just don't expect exactly what you are wanting...you will however get what you need. Patience, acceptance, tolerance and motivation to make the best of what is. I cant believe I'm sharing this. It sounds a little out there.
Dear everybody: I just love receiving who you are in your posts. Thank you for sharing yourselves as openly as you do. I'll bet we all have wonderful stories of how when we asked for help - and sometimes even when we didn't - HP came through for us - every time. "Faith cometh from hearing."

I love this post and the comments to follow. I have learned to ask for help these days when I have needs that need to be met and my HP comes through everytime. Sending you all love and support!

Help comes to me through many of these posts. At times, I am reminded of something that I have tucked away inside...perhaps at the time it was too painful to acknowledge. In HP's time, when it seems I am ready, I can be with experience and see if through a healthier me. Thank you G
