As I said in my last post, I have been trying to manage the schedule of many others so that my impending hip replacement could be done at a time that benefits me. I succeeded. God did get his will in line with mine. Of course, I am making a joke here. But it did happen smoothly once I got myself out of the way.
While it’s true I did have a window of time that worked best for me because of the many workshops I already have scheduled, I knew that I had no real control over the chosen date. I could accept or refuse whatever date the surgeon offered, but I couldn’t make his schedule fit mine. Letting go and letting God play his role did offer me relief and ultimately the date I had hoped for.
So February 11th will find me in the hospital undergoing the knife or saw, whatever they use to get the bad hip socket out and replace it with a new one. I have had this surgery before on the other hip a decade ago so I know the drill. It’s not a tough surgery. However, the rehab takes commitment and patience. I can handle that. In the meantime, it’s life as usual. Prayer, meetings, meditation and service to others. God’s will is loving action, I think. I can do that, one day at a time. We all can. And if we all did, the world would shift.

Nice post. I learn one thing tougher on different blogs everyday. It would at all times be stimulating to learn content from other writers and follow somewhat something from their store. I’d want to make use of some with the content material on my weblog whether or not you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link in your web blog. Thanks for sharing.

I have found it much easier to wait for God’s will when the answer comes quickly and coincides with my own will. It’s not quite so easy when it takes a lengthy period of time for His will to manifest and even more so when it’s not in alignment with my wishes.
However, over time I have discovered that in all cases, long or short time, aligned or not with my plans, “ALL IS WELL” – it all turns out for the best for everyone involved. I can’t always see it in the present, but sometimes I can see it in retrospect.
I’m sorry I couldn’t find your comment anywhere when I went back through my blogs.
I could link to your blog in one of mine if you would like.
You can also reach me through email – oneprayergirl@gmail.com
Hope your book signing goes well today. I’ll be praying for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.

I am not sure if my last comment made it. I have never done this before. But we go forth boldly. So apologies if this is repeated.
Here are 2of my favorite prayers. The really work to bring peace and trust into our often confusing lives.
Lovingkindness (Metta) Meditation
May I be at peace.
May my heart remain open.
May I awaken to the light
of my own true nature.
May I be healed.
May I be a source of healing
for all beings.
(May you be at peace…) (May we be at peace…)
The Activity of God
The activity of God is the only power
at work in my mind, heart, and life.
All false beliefs, all negative appearances
are dissolved right now by the loving, forgiving action of God.
I am whole, strong, and free as God created me to be.
