Words from a Mystic
Patient
Trust
Above all, trust in the slow work of God
We are quite naturally impatient in everything
to reach the end without
delay.
We should like to skip the intermediate stages.
We are impatient of being on the way to
something
unknown, something new.
And yet it is the law of progress
that it is made by passing
through
some states of instability
---
and that it may take a
very long time.
And so I think it is with you.
Your ideas mature
gradually --- let them grow,
let them shape themselves,
without undue haste.
Don't try to force them on,
as though you could be
today what time
(that is to say, grace and
circumstances
acting on your own good
will)
will make of you tomorrow.
Only God could say what this new spirit
gradually forming within
you will be.
Give Our Lord the benefit of believing
that his hand is leading
you,
and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself
in suspense and
incomplete.
So I don't think I've ever read the blog portion of your website. So today as I sit eating lunch, my heart said....check out Jenny's website. Thank you for posting Patient Trust. I did a tarot reading this morning that is right in line with those words. I know God is preparing me for something bigger and different and when fear creeps in I want to go back and cling to what I know....especially when money comes into play. Even though I don't have full-time "work" right now. I am journeying with God and letting my light shine.
Some days I question what the heck I'm doing and feel lost and confused and then I try to come back to the moment. When I am here everything is beautiful and it feels like I am doing exactly what I want to be doing.
On my way to work last week I decided to walk because the sun was shining and it was beautiful. I just felt like dancing and so I did off and on. There were times when I noticed who was around me and stopped dancing but there were times where I just kept on going. This man smiled at me and said thanks for sharing your happiness. I said you're welcome and I said look at you, you drive a yellow car how can you not be happy about that! And he said he loves bees and that's why he drives a yellow car. He said I reminded him of bees and I brought a little honey into his day. I think when we take the risk and be who we are and let our love spin out, it lands on other people who may need it.
Thanks!
