Every now and again, we must celebrate the wins. We practice and strive to do and be better, and even in our imperfections, it is amazing to celebrate what we have accomplished.
I am sitting in the pavilion outside the dance theater. Adelia will be performing in about an hour, and well after three years of practice, have her first opportunity to perform for a good size audience. Whether she is able to do her dance, or she freezes and stands confused in the lights, not able to move, she will have her chance to dazzle and shine, and I have planned a special lunch to celebrate her in all her glory, with hair makeup and fancy costume.
As the last 16 months have been especially challenging, I wonder if you have been able to celebrate your accomplishments? What have you worked towards, what have you completed and what is in the process? The act of celebrating is really to re-enforcement of life. Really having the joyous moments of celebration lift the frequency of the body and fuels the emotional tanks.
You may say, but Julie Renee, I have just had too many things in my way to feel joy or make time to celebrate. That, my friend, is believing that the things in the way are wrong and shouldn’t have happened. But what if you could celebrate even in difficultly? Because with certainty you knew in your heart all things are working for good, and that God’s plans from you are wonderful?
Let me share some opportunities to have faith and keep joy in place that I experienced this week. The buyers on my California house pulled out; with the crazy spring market here, the home I am buying wanted to end the contract with me and get back on the market. I had already said I would purchase the home even if the sale falls apart, so with some strategizing from realtors and a mortgage broker, I may have a plan to buy the house without a sale. This trusting God to this level and not letting my mind go off on a tangent has improved over the recent months.
I heard the news of the buyer pulling out at 10 pm one night; the previous hour, I had pumped to clear the energy. I prayed for them that they have peace, they were very frightened buyers, and although I offered to pay for all the repairs found from the inspectors, they were too fragile to proceed. I asked God to give me peace and to understand what I needed to know about this.
The next morning I awoke to this idea; in my early 40’s I had 13 miscarriages. Each time I felt the loss, but in time can understand these baby spirits were in need of just a few weeks of my love and prayers. They got what they needed and moved on. The buyers were like this I had prayed for them that the house might heal them. They were in the house many times with 7 inspections. They got what they needed from me and the home and were ready to leave the contract. Interestingly, I felt a bit of relief when they pulled out; contracts imply some level of energetic entanglement.
Whether I get the house in Boerne or not, I am grateful and celebrating my life. I am strong and sure, I am confident in God’s love, and I am aligned with my purpose.
