Thank you sir, may I have another?
This is the kind of thing the new recruit soldier says to the commanding officer when pushups and punishments are assigned.
That could be the end of this blog post, but I will elaborate.
Stress has been ongoing and really, really, intense. It has not let up. A simple roofing project turned out to be an ordeal last year. Then the insurance company flew a drone over my house and said something was organic on the roof--like, growing. They canceled the policy.
I prayed a lot. I am serious I was like, Jesus I need your help with this it's big.
I got a person to clean the roof, Anthony to help me submit the photos to the insurance company appeals website, and reinstated.
Well, the power washers ruined some things at the house. So now I have been fixing those with handymen. And to save time, when Anthony offered to stop by someplace on the way home I asked him to pick up the porch light replacements.
I came home from work on Thursday. Not only were the projects not going well, there were live termites in the wood we were replacing, and the light bulbs did not fit inside the porch lights. The scope of the project was expanding because of the extent of termite damage.
So I have been on the phone. Coordinating, making appointments, and having termite inspections. ll
The house needs to be tented. This will involve a whole lot of scheduling and work on my part.
We were able to return the lightbulbs and get ones that fit.
There also has been little footsteps of animals (rats) over my ceiling at night. Trying to get someone to take responsibility for repairs done in the past year has been difficult.
It seems like there are newer and more scary stresses right around the corner these days. There's the bad news on attacks that kill people. There's diseases and food shortages.
Remember the book of Job.
Stay true to your values. And touch base with Spirit whenever you encounter challenges. Financial, time, health, political, family dynamics, work-related, you name it, there can be a stress about it...
Spirit keeps you calm.
Spirit keeps you focused.
And you trust and put your attention wherever you need it to go.
Ultimately, everything is about love. And sometimes, you get to meet some really good people who keep their word and help. Because they want to. This is a huge blessing.
So thank you for your attention. Be mindful even in times of stress and even in crisis. Remember you are deeply loved and valued by both Divine Mother and Divine Father. Every single day...
clap! clap!
Aloha and Mahalos,
Namaste,
Peace,
