Dear Ms. Warrick, <\/em>
\nWe have a new program based on a settlement that was reached with the Department of Justice. You have met the criteria for a new loan modification program where it is possible that you will receive a reduction on the principle of your home. * <\/em><\/p>\n

My impossible had arrived via Fed Ex.\u00a0 I had 24-hours to finalize the contract of the short sale of my home or make the decision to reach for the miracle.\u00a0 As I sit here writing this the new loan request is in process.\u00a0 It is important that I write now because whatever the outcome is I had to opt into, \u201cThy Will Be Done.\u201d The outcome is not negative if the loan is denied.\u00a0 The outcome is not positive is the loan is approved.\u00a0 The outcome is God\u2019s Will.<\/p>\n

Can you see all of the options that I had?\u00a0 Nothing has changed in my personal situation.\u00a0 I continue to move forward with my work and my writing.\u00a0 Thy Will Be Done.\u00a0 As the 24-hours ticked down to decision and action time I found my Self standing in that same spot in the kitchen, with the phone to my ear praying and whaling as a friend listened.\u00a0 I am crying…again.\u00a0 There is a lot at stake:\u00a0 funds to move, a new start and I am standing in unbelief of the timing and the circumstance and the opportunity.\u00a0 Thy Will Be Done!<\/p>\n

In order to be here, in my home, in this sanctuary of my healing, I have to opt in and fill out the paperwork.\u00a0 I have to opt into God.<\/p>\n

I have uncertainty about where this is all going.\u00a0 I have certainty in God.\u00a0 Where I am is where I am supposed to be.\u00a0 Where I am going is where I am supposed to go.<\/p>\n

Everyday, really every moment of every day we have the opportunity to opt in and be in overlaying alignment with God; in total and complete Oneness with our spiritual source, our creator, our God. Everyday we have the opportunity to reject the emotional natural and be in the splendor of the supernatural Source, God.<\/p>\n

Living a loving aligned life, a life of spirituality and grace is not boring or for the faint of heart.<\/p>\n

In Joy!<\/p>\n
