My Journey

My life is a journey of discovery, ever learning more; about myself, about my spirituality, about my very being. Throughout my life I have and will continue to experience situations that confront me and opportunities that lie before me.


I give blessing for my life’s experiences. For these experiences are a proving field that strengthens my spirituality. I am learning more and more of what I am capable of. With Him, I am capable of achieving life, love and wisdom.

My Choices are Inspired by Divine Guidance

The day ahead of me is filled with choices-choices I will make for myself and for those who are in my care. And each choice will have an impact-sometimes major, sometimes minor-on how my day and my life are going.

Yet I don’t worry about the decisions I made because I make them in cooperation with my Higher Power. During my prayer times, You give me the wisdom and guidance I need and points the way to my highest good.

So I trust and ask You to help me make my choices-from which foods to eat to what goals to set for myself and my family. With You, my choices are based on sound judgment and divine wisdom, so how can I ever go wrong?

He is Expressing Strength and Wisdom Trough Me

If I were to doubt that I have the strength to be free of a habit, I would be giving the power of my thoughts over to doubt rather than to freedom. As incredible as it may have seemed, I now realize that my own thoughts can keep me from experiencing true freedom.

The good news is this: I am giving the power of my formative thoughts over to what God can do through me. I am never in any situation alone; the spirit of God within me strengthens me so that I can overcome any obstacle. I am free!

My thoughts help shape my experiences. The spirit of God within enables me to achieve goals far beyond what I had ever hoped to achieve. God is expressing strength and wisdom through me. I accept what God ,gives me, and I live my freedom now.

One Door Closes, Another One Opens

“To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.’   When God takes something from your grasp, He’s not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.  Concentrate on this sentence… ‘The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.’  Something good will happen to you today; something that you have been waiting to hear.”  

I had been planning to write on “One Door Closes, Another One Opens” for a bit now.  I place little drafts or reminders of blog topics into a saved folder, then I come back to them and off I go…

Today, I decided to write on this topic and was going through some old emails, there was this one going back to April, 2009.   It’s title was “read this sentence closely.”  Nothing spectacularthere… then I read inside, and it was spot on the topic I intended to blog.  Coincidence perhaps?  Anyone here believe in the law of attraction (LOA)?  Synchronicity? 

In any event, I believe firmly that we create our own reality, and in order for something new to come into our lives, we must create space for it.  That is, One door closes, another door opens.  It is not the other way around.  It is not, one door opens, another door closes.

Sure sometimes a door opens; however, if we have not closed a door first, then we seem unable to go through the open door.  We are stuck.  Stuck until we have a closed door first, creating space for a new door.  Then when another door opens, and we are free to go through.

Perhaps you had a great deal available to you on the perfect house… yet you already had a house… so you passed on the perfect house.  Perhaps you had the opportunity to try out for a great new job, but, you already had a job, changing jobs was risky… so you stayed put…  perhaps a great new relationship opportunity came along, yet the potential partner passed you on, knowing you were already committed, or you were too afraid to fully make the leap yourself, being half in something else. 

Around May or June of 2008, I was getting over a relationship, but was still carrying its pangs with me… and, though I dated a great deal, nothing was sinking in.  It was about that time I was learning about LOA, and put out to the universe exactly what I wanted…  within two days, I found her.  Exactly her… sitting in a bar at a casino.  I said hello.  We had a nice chat… it was exactly her… She liked me, and politely refused to date me…  because her time was too valuable to date someone who was emotionally unavailable, thank you very much,…  My doors had not been closed yet in order to be able to open with this lady…

Quickly, thanks to this awakening slap (spun my head clear around it did), I shed the energy around the past relationship, and within a few weeks that door was closed.  Being closed, a new door then opened quickly for me.  This door I was able to walk through.

Where haven’t you seen this?  One door closes, another one opens.

Who among you have noticed this in your life?

 Or in the lives of your friends or loved ones?

Who will use this?

Yours in peace,

Yucel
