Heading to bed mucho early tonight
Today I had an hour and a half massage with Connie and I had so many freaking knots in my neck and back that it wasn't even funny. I didn't even realize just how tight my back was until she started to work the knots out. I think that's always why I'm incredibly tired tonight--because all the toxic crap has been worked out. I can't wait for my back to get limber again, just in time for our trip to TX. Well, during the last half hour of my massage I got to talking to Connie and found out that she's actually an environmental something or other and had a degree in it and actually really wanted to move up to Alaska some day to work there with international ships that come down through the harbors before they head to California. The amazing part about our conversation was that she said that doing massage therapy was the right path in her life right now and she'd be ready for her dream job some day soon. I thought it was incredible of her to hold that kind of positive attitude. I told her about winning these poetry contests and the other amazing opportunities I've had for acting before and doing other stuff, that I never pursued AND she told me that I shouldn't look at it as something I've missed out on, but to look at it as something that was preparing me for what I'm doing now and where I'm heading in the future. I would have never thought we'd have that kind of conversation with each other, but I knew she was a great soul; all I had to do was get to chatting with her. Before I left I gave her a great big hug and it felt good because just yesterday I was sort of questioning where I was going and what I was doing in life. Ask for guidance or help and you'll get it--even if in the most unexpecting places. : )
P.S. I've been reading Sonia Choquette's "Trust Your Vibes" and the last chapter I just read said to have someone hold up a mirror to yourself to reflect your soul's true purpose and potential. I loved this because lately Zeke's being holding up the mirror to me, showing me how great a writer I am, how successful I can and will be, and also that I'm very intuitive and must trust my Higher Self to guide me. I love him for that and am so thankful.
Well, anyway, I really am getting tired, so here's today's devotional:
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. - PSALM 23:2-3//////////God of Restoration
You can't do anything about what's gone, but you can do a great deal about what remains. You may have made some poor choices that have caused you awful heartache and pain. Perhaps you feel that your life is beyond repair. You may feel disqualified from God's best, convinced that you must settle for second best the rest of your life.
Worse yet, perhaps it was somebody else's foolish decisions that caused you to experience wrenching heartache and pain. Regardless, you must stop dwelling on it. Forgive the person who caused you the trouble and start clean right where you are this morning. If you continue to dwell on those past disappointments, you will block God's blessings in your life today. It's simply not worth it. Beyond that, God desires your restoration even more than you do!
