I'm having a hard time not jumping into tomorrow as I am bursting with anticipation. But today, I need to stay in the moment. Tomorrow is the big day when my friend and I and some ladies I have never even met will have a gown give-away to 8 Princesses. This is an outreach ministry to the girls in our broad and rural community to help some young ladies dreams come true. But for today, I just want to focus on the process to this point in time and recognize the gifts I have received - regardless of the outcome tomorrow.
1) Looking through my posts here, I have really been blessed with the recognition of the kindness and generosity of others. This awareness of the good and kindness in the world has carried me through some rather bumpy times. Just to know that the power of unconditional generosity is in the world warms my spirit and helps me to get out of my own self.
2) I have been blessed with a serenity not common to me. As plans have changed and we have risen to meet the challenges, I feel a deep sense of KNOWING that no matter if it turns out according to MY plan or not - that it will turn out exactly as it is meant to be. My Inner Control Freak has let go of the outcome - what an unexpected but welcome sense of relief.
3) With all of the really ugly things in the news around the country and world, I in a very small way can make a difference - right her - right now. And it's good and it will be enough. I don't need to worry about that other stuff.
