The Universe works in mysteries ways.
You often hear of stories where the TV magically turned or a book falling off the shelf. These freak and weird happenings seem to have a deep and meaningful message. Those things happen to other people, not me. Until this week.
The past couple weeks have been difficult. Not only did I get into a car accident, but later that week, my husband and I decided to make some changes in our lives. Daycare is just too expensive. I can only work part time hours in my massage and healing business, so it's just not making enough profit to offset those costs. All day Saturday we discussed what the heck are we going to do. And by discussed, I mean argued. He wanted to just to close the business, but I knew there was a better way. On Sunday, I researched between hiring a massage therapist and selling my business. I still has unclear but leading towards selling my business. It's my baby, I built from scratch, so I have mixed feelings, but knew at would sell it at some point. Still unclear, I went to bed asking for guidance from the Universe.
Monday morning I woke up and got ready for my likely my last day volunteering at St. Joseph's hospital. I love working there, but I know I'll have to give that up to stay home with the kids. I'm going to take a quick second to give a call to action here. If you do any Healing Touch or energy-based healing, see if you make time to volunteer at your local hospital or clinic in their Integrative Services. It's an amazing experience and it so great to work with all sorts of different people and conditions.
Okay, here is where my universal interaction comes in. I'm rolling in my rental Nissan Rogue due to the suspension being jacked up from the car accident. My favorite radio station, GO MN 96.3 which is modern alternative music, was not programmed in the presets. I turned the dial and the screen said GO MN. It took a a few seconds for it to kick in, but when it did. It was not modern alt music. It was a religious station. "What the heck?!" I thought. I was about to change the station, when I got a little instinctive flash to wait and listen for a minute. Plus I was checking and double checking that I was on the right station. "Did they GO MN change their format?" I wondered.
This station DJ had a guest interview with a guy named Chip Ingram. He was discussing this online series called Breakthrough. His main objective he was talking about was in order to have a breakthrough in your life or career, you need to trust and give it over to God. Now I don't necessarily believe in the Christian God, but I do believe there is something bigger than us at work. I like the term Infinite Wisdom or Universe since they sort of capture an image of a "whole" and not an individual. But I do believe Chip's message was spot on and meant for me to hear. I need a breakthrough in my life and I need to trust there is one on they way.
I have tried a couple different paths since leaving the military and I can honestly say I have learned so much from every one. I don't think any of them as failures. Failing is when you quit. I haven't quit doing anything. I have changed course. My business is successful. I built a large customer base in less than a year and am able to turn profit with a sale of it. You can't say that for many businesses. It's just not getting me to what I really want to do anymore. It was great to get my experience and learn about so much, but I feel it's right to move on. It's important to check in with yourself often and ask, Is what I'm doing right now, getting me to where I want to be? Right now, my business is not.
I know my breakthrough is on the way. Yours is too! Have you asked? Have you listened for the answer? I think the universe is telling me selling my business is the breakthrough I need. I know I can give my family what I have promised them and what they deserve. I can see my life so clear and vivid, it's just so real, that I can't imagine it not happening. I just need to keep trusting that God/Universe/Infinite Wisdom will keep directing and interjecting on my journey there. Just keeping trusting too!
I wiped tears away from my face once I pulled in the parking garage at the hospital. The station was now playing a praise Jesus song. I continued to scan the screen hoping to see something the could logically explain how this station was switched. So before I got out, I clicked on one of the preset stations and then turn the dial back to 96.3. I heard Ben, Dana and Giselle discussing their usual morning topics on their alternative music station.
Have you ever had received such strong messages from the God/Universe/Infinite Wisdom?
I'd love to hear about them! Leave a comment and lets talk about it! You are in a safe place to share!
