"Secure the Ladder"

As I was driving back from lunch today I noticed a young lady shaking the ladder to make sure that it was secure. It appeared as though they were getting ready to hang Christmas lights. It was then that I had to thank God for the beautiful message I was receiving in that very moment.

You see, we all need to make sure our ladder is secure as we begin to ascend. God was letting me know that I was using the right amount of care and caution as I continue on my journey up the ladder.

It was even more beautiful to see all the road work being done on the way home. There was a moment that the shadow wanted to raise its head and complain, but instead I thank it for allowing me to see where I was hiding power. So as I drove down this messy road I knew that I was paving a new way, renewing myself and my path to home. It was then that the traffic cleared for me to proceed with joy in my heart.

Folks, this process isn't hard. What's hard about it is when you don't want to see what you are seeing. But to welcome whatever is happening and realizing there is light in it you will free yourself. There is no angry person out there only you.

This is all taking place after processing last night how I have tried to ignore my female side. The side of me that is creative, loving and joyful...the part of me that is healing. Remember being a kid and getting sick? All I ever wanted to do was to crawl up in my moms bed and lay there. It was when I accepted this fact that it is the female side of me that is powerful in briging forth the creations of my mind that all flowed with ease and joy.

I had to look at why I would hide my female side, what was it about me that I didn't like regarding that part? Then it happened....I could see where I was hiding out because I wanted everyone to see me strong, confident, secure, but deep down inside I was just a scared child wanting to find her way back home. I wanted my mother!

Being a mother and a grandmother and the two best things in the world. There is always so much more love to give and receive, and there we have it. The female part of us is the part that receives. As I sat thinking about this I realized that the only time that I would allow myself to receive is when I was ill. What a hard lesson to learn in life, that the only time we allow ourselves to receive is when we are out of all options for ourselves, and can't do anything else but surrender.

I want to experiencing receiving before having to surrender, but there is something I must surrender in order to obtain this level of awareness. I needed to surrender to the ideas that I had built walls of separation with.

Giving is easy for most of us because we are taught that it is better to give than receive. I say this was a shadow statement to keep us in the dark. Either way it's extremely important to receive....otherwise we are blocking God in allowing what we desire to move into our lives.

Can you imagine how much energy it much take to block Gods gifts?

Something to think about today. Ask yourself where are you giving in order to keep from receiving.

Much love and light to you all!
