PERMISSION

Allowing something to happen. Pause. What do you want for your life? This is literally the question that kept floating around in my head while being still, or at least trying to (ugh). Rather than ignore it (which usually doesn't work if God is the One asking), I decided to go there and see how Love would respond.

I want Enough. Enough time, money, good health, friends, family, faith, love, comfort and joy (like Christmas), and no worries. Always Enough (my definition of abundance). That's what I want. Isn't that what we all want? Pause for Permission.

The One who knows when you rise up and when you go to sleep, when you are lonely, in trouble, can't make ends meet. The God who sees you and loves you more than life itself. He's the One that has given you Permission (the choice) to look at the world through His eyes. Eyes that see everything working FOR you, not against you; a WIN, not a loss; ENOUGH, rather than not enough. Permission for more than we can ask, think, or imagine (God's definition of abundance).

Permission is the tool in our arsenal for fighting anything and everything that implies not enough. It's our Super Power that changes the way we view ourselves and our circumstances; the way we act in conflict, doubt, and fear; the way we feel about Hope and Love. Permission is what actually saves us from the paralyzing paths of defeat, depression, anxiety, loneliness, etc. When we give ourselves Permission for abundance, we allow what we long for to be.

Permission for abundance today, tomorrow and forever means:

• You can have a good day or bad because both work in the Kingdom.

• You can change your mind. Be free to think differently, even in the moment.

• You can be real. Non-pretentious. Imperfect. Human.

• You can be authentic. Have new ideas. Buy them. Wear them. Test them out to see if they work, and if they don't? Exercise number 2.

God's plan for you is to prosper: to bloom, to blossom, do well, flourish, multiply, thrive, all the good stuff. Don't miss out. Give yourself Permission.

Bless.
