I recently moved into a new community some distance from the people who are dear to me, far from the neighborhood that’s been home for 25 years. Although I feel certain that I am in my right place, there are times I feel unsettled by so much change. When I take a walk through the new neighborhood, I don’t know anyone yet. I wonder how I will make connections with them. Will I find my place here? How will this community become “home” to me?
I had a moment the other day when I felt overwhelmed and displaced, thinking that there was so much to do that I had to do by myself. At almost that exact moment, the doorbell rang. When I opened it, there stood my next door neighbor, Lucy. “I want you to have my phone number in case you need anything.” She handed me the paper with her information. “And I brought you some chocolate. Do you eat chocolate?”
When I went back inside the house, beaming like a light bulb, I had to laugh to myself, just as my guardian angels were probably laughing about me. “Oh ye of little faith.” At every step of this move process, Spirit has had my back. Every time I’ve doubted or faced an obstacle, I’ve received just the help I needed, or a little sign that I was on the right path or a reminder that I was loved. So many times, Spirit has known what I needed better than I did.
In this time of sweeping change, endings and new beginnings, a time of letting go, expanding, risking, re-creating, acting with courage, I will remember that God is my partner. Divine Mother is always with me. Spirit whispers: “Have a little faith in Me.”
Affirmation: As I step forward in faith, I remember there is One who knows my every need and whose pleasure it is to grant me the kingdom. God is my partner.
