A mere twenty four hours after receiving the text from her landlord, my daughter was on a police call responding to a downed electrical wire. The wire was close to a rental property that was sitting empty. The person who had made the 911 call was the owner of the property. She asked about the property and found that he simply had not found the right renter. It was available. She had me go look at it, which I did. He handed me the keys and I started moving into it. This is only one of many miracles that have occurred in my life.
My daughter has decided to move her things into storage while she is deployed and has asked her boyfriend to care for her two cats. This is a great relief to me since my cat is a Main Coon and he is completely intolerant of other cats. I have had to keep him shut up in the bedroom so that he does not attack her cats. I have had him for close to six years and he was already seven when I adopted him. He gets along great with dogs, he is sociable, and he likes people – just not other cats. Holding on to the hope that he would accept my daughter’s cats was one miracle that simply wasn’t going to happen. I am grateful for the miracles in my life, but I have learned to allow the highest and best answers to emerge. If we hold too tightly to a hope, we come upon resistance. When we learn to hold lightly, we give Spirit the slack to move freely in our lives.
While I have witnessed so many miracles, I have also come to understand what Eckhart Tolle has taught. He says that even when we manifest something good in our lives, every circumstance has a new set of challenges. Good comes into our lives and then we are challenged yet again, but if we let go of expectations and let go of the need to control, we become more like observers in our own lives. We learn to go with the flow and allow Spirit to bring us the miracles we need – and not necessarily the ones we want.
