My life is a miracle.
And I guess others think so too.
I mentioned a while back that during one of my most frustrating days I decided to curb my frustration and manifest something. I asked God for a creative opportunity to come to me quickly and easily.
By that afternoon I checked my email and found that someone from our city’s newspaper had invited me to apply for a position as a blogger on the newspaper’s new parenting website.
I never applied for this position or knew it existed. I still don’t know how they found my blog either. The editor wrote that she loved my writing style and would be hiring 10 people to be the featured bloggers in this new community. All I had to do was provide a brief bio of my family situation and a couple of writing samples and I would be considered for one of the positions.
I’ll admit, I hesitated at first because my parenting role in not traditional and I’m not too proud of being a non custodial parent. I also didn’t want to have to blog about the drama between my children’s father and I and of course his [delete adjective] girlfriend. I didn’t want to blog about drama and struggle and yearning for more. And..this isn’t an anonymous blog. I’d have to use my pen name and my real picture. Yikes!
But I decided to apply anyway and I sent in the requested items asking God to please give me more success stories to write about.
Today I received my audio books in the mail. I ordered Ask & It Is Given by Jerry & Esther Hicks and started listening right away. Most of the things in that book I had already heard before because I study their work intensely but it was a nice reminder and having it being spoken out loud for me as I relaxed was a very soothing touch.
I fell asleep and as soon as I woke up my phone rang. It was the editor of the parenting website asking me if I had recieved the invitation to become one of their featured bloggers.
I hadn’t. So she forwarded me the information again and we arranged a time to stop by her office for training and a photo.
The pay is barely enough to cover my phone bill but I consider this to be a ‘sign of land’. You know, when you pray for something and then a small bit of it appears, letting you know that God heard you and He’s on His way. I picture these small blessings as the wind that precedes His walk toward me.
I am grateful for the opportunity to share my story with an even larger audience and maybe..just maybe this is a sign that things are about to become a whole lot better.
