My life is following a theme over this past week. It’s such an incredible synchronicity for me and I can clearly see that God is really saying something and I feel so grateful to be able to hear the message.
I’ve been in sort of a rut the past week. Just kind of slow and tired and uninspired and unmotivated. If you look at my posts for the week, you’ll see what I mean.
I decided, consciously, to allow the rut, and even embrace it. I did what I felt like doing and I didn’t beat myself up for it. I read my emails and visited my forums and groups and talked about inspiring things. Other than that and mindless facebook games, I sat in the sunshine and watched the boys swim, read a couple books, watched some tv, and managed to complete a short list of chores to maintain the household.
Here’s the theme that kept popping up for me all week. Just BE who you are. Just DO what comes naturally at any given moment. Just love because love is the only purpose.
It started with a short discussion on religion and the Bible in a forum I frequent. Later, when the discussion came to mind, it came with a song. A song I used to sing in Sunday School as a little girl and it was always one of my favorites. I hadn’t thought about it in probably 20 years, but suddenly there it was, playing in my mind.
This little light of mine… I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine… I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine… I’m gonna let it shine.
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine….
Then, days later, I was in a forum reading a discussion about ego and a sudden thought occurred to me. It was just a sudden inspiration and I must’ve posted it in 10 places after it hit me. I found it totally just…perfect, and I felt so thankful to have been given such an inspiration. It was:
Life’s not about OUTSHINING any other stars… it’s about adding YOUR twinkle to the brilliance.
All the while as I’m embracing the rut I’m in and having these really inspiring and wonderful things popping randomly into my head, I’m reading. Reading Mirror Therapy and now a new one, which I’ve not quite finished so I don’t want to officially gush about it yet. That doesn’t seem fair.
Mirror Therapy has made a huge difference for me, and so far I’m really liking this new one also. Here’s where I mention that I’ve read ONE book in print in about the past year or two. I read tons online and listen to audios, but it’s been a very long time since I’ve actually felt inspired to READ a book and I’m at 2 for the week..lol
So, I’m sitting pool side watching the boys swim and reading and I notice a butterfly. I have TONS of them in and out all day, but I always notice them because I REALLY love them. Well, as I acknowledge this creature, I suddenly (yep, again) hear a song in my head. It’s another Sunday School song, and again, one I’ve not thought about in 20 years.
If I were a butterfly
I’d thank you Lord for giving me wings
If I were a robin in a tree
I’d thank you Lord that I could sing
If I were a fish in the sea
I’d wiggle my tail and I’d giggle with glee
But I just thank you Father for making me, me
CHORUS
For you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile
You gave me Jesus and you made me your child
And I just thank you Father for making me, me
If I were an elephant
I’d thank you Lord by raising my trunk
If I were a kangaroo
You know I’d hop right up to you
If I were an octopus
I’d thank you Lord for my fine looks
But I just thank you Father for making me, me
If I were a wiggly worm
I’d thank you Lord that I could squirm
If I were a fuzzy, wuzzy bear
I’d thank you Lord for my fuzzy, wuzzy hair
If I were a crocodile
I’d thank you Lord for my great smile
But I just thank you Father for
making me, me
So, I’m really seeing a theme around me at this point. And I’m taking notice, yunno? I want the Universe to know I’m aware and listening. I’m really getting into it. Being very present in each moment and purposefully doing whatever comes naturally at that time. I wouldn’t even call it a rut at this point.
This morning, I’m sitting on the end of my bed watching the rest of a program I was watching on the History Channel and when it ended, and the DVR turned off, it went to live television and I found myself RIGHT at the beginning of THIS song. I’ve never heard it before today. I don’t dislike Jewel, I’m just not real into her, so I don’t follow her and I RARELY listen to the radio so I don’t hear things there either.
Satisfied
So that’s my week in a rut.. or rather a nutshell. lol Today I’m taking these boys for a bike ride. I’m going to let my light shine, and love it all, and be grateful for who I am and where I am and I’m going to do whatever comes naturally to me at any given moment.
