Amazing Grace

Miracles do happen. Not just miracles that save lives or heal the sick but miracles that let dreams come true. Twelve days ago I started this blog with my new dream. I didn't see any way it could happen. Today I was accepted as a volunteer for the group working to set up a Chapter of Child Help in Utah. Can you believe this? Things like this just don't happen to me. I've had friends talk to me about The Secret. They told me to put things out to the Universe and it will come to you. Well, I don't believe in some genie managing the universe but I do believe in God.

Somehow I have been blessed to get the tools to heal, to begin to value myself, to draw wonderful people to me and now I'm being given the chance to give back. I want to pinch myself. It's so wonderful and exciting.

I had a little tiny miracle this morning. After blogging about horses yesterday I was longing to touch one again. In my neighborhood there is a horse property. My dog and I used to walk down to give him carrots and a pat. Several months ago the horse disappeared. Last night as I swung onto my street I saw that he was back. This morning my dog and I walked down, gave him carrots and a pat. On top of that the mountains looked absolutely mystical. The clouds were wispy over the snow caps as a storm began to roll in. Great big drops started falling from the sky. I laughed for the beauty and sheer joy of the moment.

If you are having a bad day hang in there. It will get better. I'm not saying life will be easy or that change will come quickly. It has taken me years and a great deal of work. But if you ask God he will help you along one step at a time at the pace you are ready to handle. Believe!
