The Power of Saying Yes 

Maybe he was demonstrating to me his willingness to say Yes, and if nothing developed, he was off to another area to see how fertile his efforts there might be. I could see the logic in that, considering the topic of this month's Blog. It had recently become more apparent to me how often we say No in our lives. Granted, there are certainly times that are quite necessary, but I wondered how frequently we stopped the Universal Flow from delivering to us that which we desire, simply because we said No to a channel just before our wish arrived.

The imaginary ledge I had been standing on last week seemed quite high. You see, I had been taking my time making a decision to move forward with a project. A huge commitment with far reaching effects. Oh I had prayed continuously about it, asked for guidance, called in some favors and asked for very clear signs regarding the direction I was to take. Nothing. Bupkis.

I felt like Mother Theresa, who in her papers released a couple of years ago revealed that she never felt the presence of God near to her, never felt Christ draw nigh to her during prayer. Wow, my thoughts spun. If Mother T. can't get a sign, who am I to think I'll see one? Didn't stop me from asking though, as this decision was a very important one. Driving home from a friend's house, I saw a large angel in the sky, wings and all, holding what looked to be a book in his hands. My celestial report card?  Don't think so. My immediate thought was that is was my Book of Life, and this page he had open was blank. What the heck did that mean anyway?

The more I thought about it, the more I came to see that the next step in my journey was about making the decision from the Holy Place Within Me, not waiting for Spirit to show me the way. This moment was about the power of saying YES, and trusting the flow that would follow, and making all the next steps YES, and then some more steps that echoed resoundingly, YES! And to keep saying YES to life, and to opportunities, and to joy, and to letting go of the past. And the more I thought about YES, the more I could see to say YES to.

You've got the message now, yes?
