Get up!

I received a phone call Monday that forever changed my life. I have been a stay at home Mom for the last 22 years. I only "worked" for one year during that time, as a Mary Kay sales director. When I heard that there would be no money coming in this month, and that the future looked doubtful and unstable financially, I way propelled into a different world.

It's been so long since I've felt hopeless and helpless, that I've forgotten how to do it, and how to get out of it. I catch myself holding my breath, I wonder why. I'm used to being in control of my life, having the confidence that everything will work out, that I can handle anything that comes my way. Do I hold my breath, subconsciously hoping to slow things down enough to be able to sort things out and bring things back into a manageable space again?

Where do I go from here? What do I do? How do I create thousands of dollars of income a month when I have not been in the workplace for decades and don't even have a degree? I sing, I dance, I do Listening Coaching, I speak Spanish and I love people. These are my gifts, my talents and skills - my Extra Ordinary Genius.

I've transformed many areas of my life in the last few years, why is the financial area so terrifying to me? I've had experience with the Lord doing huge miracles. There are unlearned lessons that lie ahead in these uncharted waters. He wants me to learn and grow and progress. Isn't that why we're here on the earth. I'll take a step out into the unknown. I take action, make some small effort, any effort will get me out of my comfort zone. If I just start moving, the way will open up. Opportunities and abundance are all around me, I know, my eyes are just blind to them right now. I will make the effort, set tiny goals and achieve them one by one. I will enlist the help of those around me, who love me. If I don't move my feet, how can God guide my footsteps? In three months from today my whole life will look remarkably different/better. My intention is to move full steam ahead, in whatever path that presents itself, and soon it will be evident how all the pieces of this puzzle fit. A beautiful picture of my new life is about to unfold. ~ Julia
