Letting Go and Letting God

Once again, I've discovered the lessons needed to live a life of ease.  Once again, I've discovered this in a way that was anything but easy.

You see, there is a beach in South Beach, Florida calling me to visit.  It's been calling for some time now but the call is louder and clearer than ever.  I finally succumbed to the call and began making arrangements. The main challenge though was locating someone to take care of my pawed and feathered geriatric family. Since my daughter and her boyfriend are coming along to the beach (they have heard the call too), I wanted to be sure these family members had someone who would care for them. So I began my search.

I searched for someone who had helped out before.  After weeks of searching I found her on Facebook but her life had undergone major changes and she was no longer able to pet sit.  I went on to calling this person and then another person.  Pretty soon I found someone only to discover later that this wouldn't work out.  By this time, I was exhausted, frustrated, and somewhat depressed.  I was on my way to that "condo in the valley" for an unwanted vacation of sorts.  This was NOT the type of vacation I wanted!

Only  when I got settled into my room at the "condo" did I remember something.  I had not done any prayer work prior to my search.  What was I thinking...or not thinking?

Immediately I settled into that place of quiet and peace and did my work.  Was I really supposed to take this trip? Would all my geriatric family members be okay without me? Was there someone to take care of my home and pets?  And so I let it go knowing that if this trip was for my highest good, someone would come to me and say "I can do it."

Yes, someone came forward.  In fact, I also have a backup now.  I also have a hotel booked that seems very intriguing.  As a side, Al Capone actually stayed there in the 1930's.  Very interesting.

So, what does this all mean?  It means we just have to know that there is a Power and Presence here for us, waiting to guide us and assist us when we let it.
