I follow in the way appointed me.

“I have a special place to fill; a role for me alone.”

Ha!

Rock and roll, baby.

“Salvation waits until I take this part at what I choose to do. Until I make this choice, I am the slave of time and human destiny. But when I willingly and gladly go the way my Father’s plan appointed me to go, then will I recognize salvation is already here, already given all my brothers and already mine as well.”

What a terrific idea. How practical! How simple! How personal! How marvelous!

I follow in the way appointed me.

I can choose to follow God’s plan and allow everyone else to be exactly the way they are as they follow the way appointed to them. My role is to accept and follow the path appointed to me.

I don’t have to be concerned about anyone else.

Accept and follow.
Accept and follow.
Accept and follow.

A heavy weight of baggage came off my shoulders the day I made a decision to stop trying to fix/improve/correct others. I thought “From now on, I’m just gonna focus on myself. Whatever anyone else is doing is perfection.”

Everyone is fulfilling their role perfectly. Everyone is being themselves. It’s not my job to judge or change others. They are no others. There is only God. My part is simply to follow in the way appointed me. What a relief.

I can relax and take my focus off other people and put 100% focus and attention on listening to the Voice for God, and following the way appointed me.

“I have a special place to fill; a role for me alone.”

I am in the new place now. It’s wild. I haven’t slept in 2 days. I get tired at bedtime but then I am wide awake all night. Everything happened so quickly - pure movement - that there was really no time to ponder or think about the magnitude of what has occurred, except I feel like my body is feeling the effects of such a dramatic shift. One moment I was in a particular location, doing whatever I do, and the very next day someone was handing me the keys to a big gorgeous house, and now I am here.

First I was there. Now I am here. And in another moment, something else will happen and I’ll be somewhere else … except for one glorious thing … I’m always the same! I’m always where I am! I am always right here! This is the adventure. This is the journey. It has no distance. It has no space.
