Less of me..and More of YOU
Another Letting Go, another teaching, another example of how the little choices I make in life produces big results! This blog is about the day to day journey… or … as I call it…the divine dance of the day that weaves the tapestry of my life.
As a professional artist, the question always seems to be: ” Where do I go to sell my work? “ A place that is readily available is craft fairs. Feeling the need to make money, I decided to go in that direction. As I proceeded down this road I found that it was becoming increasingly more expensive to market at fairs.
My lesson came in a trip to Sams!
Finding that I needed a tent in-order to show at the fair, my husband and I headed off to Sams. We found the tents…the cheapest being $200.00. This marketing at a craft fair was getting more and more expensive! As we stood in Sams having our discussion, I mentally started totaling the cost of participating at the fair which would be around $400.00 to $500.00. This meant that before I could even start making any profit I would have to clear $500.00. In my heart the war started! My emotions and thoughts were running wild… ” I need and want the tent! “, ” this is not a good business decision! “, ” if I don’t do the fair, how will I make money! “ Fear and unrest were running rampant in my heart and there was no sense of peace inside of me.
The Letting Go…the choice. ♥♥♥
I stopped my “monkey mind” for a moment…and looked inward at my heart. There was no Peace, so I made the choice, said “No” to purchasing the tent and walked away. Was my heart at peace at this moment…no….yet as I continued to walk away, slowly Peace came. You see, this Peace isn’t a feeling it is a Person ♥ The Living Word ♥.
The next morning, I went to my study to meditate, pray and read….and Peace came to me. Deep with-in my heart, the Shepherd of my soul gave me His plans for marketing His artwork.
“Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need! He lets me rest in the meadow grass and leads me beside the quiet streams. He restores my soul. He helps me do what honors Him the most.”
