Faith Cannot Exist When Fear is in the House....
I learned a great lesson about Patience while playing a game of Scrabble with a good friend. She is amazingly excellent at the game. She also, it seems, shows an incredible amount of patience when it comes to waiting for the right letters (usually big ticket letters!).
This morning the Challenge card that I picked was the "Patience Card," so with that I had been reflecting on Patience. SOme would say that I show a lot of patience. The truth is I STRIVE to show patience. I am better at hiding my internal fear. In the same regard, while watching the Long Island Medium on Sunday, Theresa Caputo said something that I have been trying in wrap my head around. So this has been a week long journey, and today I may have just understood it. Theresa said something like, 'You cannot have faith when you have fear.' I have been struggling with to understand this lesson all week.
AND then, whilst playing this game of scrabble, I had a 'Yay Me!' moment. For the past 3 or 4 turns I have had a great word to play. I could have played it all three times, but there were not an double letters or triple words in the positions that I could play it. I kept waiting. In the meantime, she patiently swapped tiles and skipped a turn until what she was waiting for (a payday) arrived. On the 4/5th time around, I finally gave into the fear and played my word, thinking that the opportunity for this word was going to pass me up. After playing at the regular point word, she made her big move. Then it hit me square in the face, had I waited patiently, instead of trying to force a word, I would have been afforded a big pay-out.
Now I know that this is just a game, but it has mirrored what is transpiring in my life. For this, I am grateful. I have an understanding of Theresa's message.
I have shared a few times my anxiety. Anxiety, for me, if often created through control, as it often is. There is only so much that one can control. Line the ducks up. Ask the Divine for thy will. Have patience that at the exact right moment in time, the best possible result will transpire!
A Life Lesson, I thought that I would share! Have a wonderful day. Thine will be done through me, not to me.
