As fate would have it, I couldn’t get an internet connection yesterday. I couldn’t believe it.
As Jesus would have it, I moved!!
It’s more accurate to say Jesus moved me.
It’s even more accurate to say: Jesus catapulted me. I didn’t actually do anything. I took a few baby steps, which opened up the flood gates. I simply allowed events to happen and they happened and now I’m moved into a new sunny, bright location.
Those Esther-Abraham videos from a few days ago have been surprisingly helpful to me to remember to “stop paddling upstream against the current and to start letting yourself flow downstream.”
It’s great be reminded that “There is no getting from here to there, because there is no there. There is only here.”
Who would have guessed that when you stay in the here, you move to the there?? It’s a paradox, and a thrilling one indeed.
Also helpful was that little escalator video from Youtube. Did you watch it? It’s only about one minute long, and if you feel stuck … this video will change your life.
Watching this escalator video made me realized the insanity of my own condition of yelling for help because I was stalled on a broken escalator. What a joke. So these past few days I realized I could just as easily move my feet and walk to the top of the stairs. And so I took a few baby steps, and then Jesus took some giant steps for me.
It must be true: God helps those who help themselves.
Yesterday was the most brilliant surprising day of my life. Everything happened by grace. Right now I’m propped up in my bed, surrounded by boxes, feeling delighted. There is still much more to do, much more to move, but I’m thrilled I’m able to get an internet connection this morning.
Magic Blogging Desk is still at the old location so if it feels like I’ve lost my touch, you know why.
I’ll go pick up the desk and the rest of my things this afternoon.
I didn’t turn the computer on at all yesterday until last night at midnight. You cannot even begin to imagine my joy at finding such overwhelming support from all of you!!! Thank you. I cried. It was midnight and I was crying. Oh my God. Thank you.
It was funny to me that under normal circumstances I would have been checking my email every hour, on the hour, (okay, let’s be honest here: every 5 minutes) to see if there were donations or messages, but yesterday my hands were tied and I couldn’t do a damn thing. LOL. Not only that, but it didn’t occur to me to even try to find a computer. Usually if I can’t get an internet connection (I tried for an hour yesterday morning to make the thing work, no luck), I scramble to find one. Last summer there I was out at the ocean in Maine, and come hell or high water, I found an internet connection! Then there was the time I was on a remote hill in Greece, you think that stopped me from blogging?? Not. I found an internet connection.
No matter where I travel, I find an internet connection. It’s always my first priority.
But there was so much going on yesterday that I didn’t even think about a computer.
So, here I am. I love you all.
I have to leave here for another couple of hours, and so yesterday’s lesson and today’s lesson are a little late. Forgive me during this transition period.
The great news is: You have the book. You have the lessons. You have an internal Teacher who is with you always and Who is waiting for you to acknowledge Him.
As I have always said, it’s one thing to be a curious bystander on this blog waiting to see what I’m doing in my life … IT’S A WHOLE OTHER BALLGAME to start witnessing miracles in your own life.
And that’s what I want to see happen. I want to see you begin to practice these lessons – to really start trusting, start praying, start talking to Jesus, start asking for things, and to be in a constant state of appreciation.
This is where it gets really fun.
I love you a lot.

Dear Lisa,
I for one am so happy to have contact with you once again.
That being said each one of us has a responsibilty unto God.
I for one will never forget it.
Gods Challenge to us: Bring Ye All the Tithes
Unto the storehouse
that there may be meat in mine house,
and PROVE me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts,
if I will not OPEN you the windows of Heaven
and POUR YOU OUT A BLESSING, that
THAT THERE SHALL NOT BE ROOM ENOUGH TO RECEIVE IT.
Malachi 3:10
Actions speak louder than words.
How am I to say I Love You or for that matter anyone of my brothers
if I do not walk hand in hand along side each and everyone of you
all the while with holding that which has been asked of me???
