Patiently Waiting ...







Here's a scary thought: What if God called you to give beyond your comfort level? Would you be afraid? Would you try to explain it away or dismiss it as impractical? And in the process, would you miss out on a harvest opportunity for which God had explicitly prospered you in the first place?

FIELDS OF GOLD



It is seemingly easier to open my inner self to change when I am here in Key West.  It is so familiar to me, and I am lulled by the water, creative energy, and exceptional diversity.    All of my senses are on high alert embracing all that is around me.

It is so freeing to be outside all day, walking.  I feel so comfortable in this place in time.  As this comfort surrounds me, I feel my heart opening and embracing all that has changed and what remains unchanged.  Key West is high energy, motion, and constant change, but there is something about this vibration that allows my creative spirit to stretch and reach for all that keeps me in this flow.

Normally when we travel, I have a tendency to feel out of place or vulnerable to the environment.  Here in Key West, I am not distracted by fears, but rather vigilant for any spontaneous nuance coming my way.  I am prepared for synchronicity to joyfully fill my day.

I seem to have the enthusiasm of a child, as I have no real adult responsibilities to be attended.    Although totally unnoticed, I feel remarkably like I belong.  It is difficult to explain how easy it is to listen to your heart when the standard is removed from your day.  My eyes and ears are open, waiting for Spirit's song.  My heart is patiently waiting as I idly stroll along.
