Finding Peace in the Current Moment

When I thought about what to write for this post, I had no idea. So, I did what I do in these situations, I surrendered. I let go and affirmed that it would come to me in Divine timing. And it did.

I woke up Sunday morning with clear guidance of what I was to write. My awareness echoed with a word I wrote in Friday’s post, “authenticity”. I am being called to write about my current situation.

Authenticity. 

Currently I am unhoused and living with my husband’s family. I am grateful to have a roof over my head. And this living situation was an answer to my prayers. But what brought me here was a lie.

I am trying to find my out and up. I need to find employment or a new situation. But so far nothing has worked for me. The path forward is not yet clear.

My faith tells me that this is aligned with my path and spiritual awakening process. I trust that this is where I am meant to be. But it doesn’t make it any easier.

After being isolated within my spiritual awakening for so long, I am learning so much in my current situation. Learning about people and families. I’m learning about myself and learning to surrender to the current moment.

I am learning about survival. But not in that cool outdoors sense. I am learning about survival in this current world. I am learning to survive in the world with nothing. No love. No opportunities. And no money.

Reframing.

I left Colorado and am back in Texas. Where I am staying the desert is as desolate as my opportunities to rebuild my life. That’s how it feels but I am choosing to reframe my perspective.

My chosen perspective is that the desert is as open as the world is to me. I am starting from a blank canvas. I can create anything I want for my life. Anything.

Sometimes I know what I want. I have a dream, a vision, for what I want my life to be. But I don’t know the steps. That’s when I surrender to my Divine life path and spiritual awakening process. I let go and let God.

This is what being in my power looks like in this moment. Being aligned with my Divine life path and aligned with fulfillment of my soul’s purposes is powerful.

My faith carries me through each day. My faith tells me that I am fully loved, fully supported, fully protected, and fully guided. All this even when my thoughts and illusions tell me that my situation seems hopeless.

I trust my path and my purpose. I know that God has a plan for me. When I receive guidance, I follow it. And I keep my awareness open for opportunities. And I trust that my current situation will change in Divine and perfect timing.

Every Step.

As I was writing this post on Sunday morning, Divine inspiration brought me another gift. Awareness of energies and beliefs that I needed to release. Healing that needed to happen.

I closed my eyes and said:

“I end illusions of material comfort. I release attachment to material comfort. I surrender expectations of material comfort.

“I end illusions of emotional comfort. I release attachment to emotional comfort. I surrender expectations of emotional comfort.”

A sense of peace came over me. And then I cried as quietly as I could as the old energies left my body. I released my suffering and sat peacefully in the current moment.

After a while the lyrics to a Police song played in my awareness. “Every step you take. Every move you make. I’ll be watching you.”

I took it as a reminder that my Spirit team is with me. Every step on my path is with them and because of them. I am being asked to be at peace in the current moment. I can do that.

Gratitude in This Current Moment.

Old cycles are ending. Old patterns are ending. And I am reminded that we only have the current moment.

I am grateful for the roof over my head and to the people that have taken me in. I am grateful for all the blessings of abundance and growth that have come with my current situation.

I am grateful to befriend discomfort. I am grateful to growth through my discomfort.

I am grateful to continue my spiritual path. I am grateful to continue to be loved, supported, protected, and guided by my spirit team.

My life is in transition. It is uncomfortable and that’s what is aligned for me now. This is where I am meant to be. In this current moment.
