Every morning I write Ann, my wife of two months
now, a brief Affirmative Note that I deliver with her
morning tea, many of which I have published on this
blog. I have been doing this for years and have hundreds
of notes that I plan to publish one of these days.
Before I write the note, I pray and let God know
I am writing this note to Ann and ask for guidance,
and when it comes, I write what is offered without
editing.
This morning was no different, and when I asked
for guidance I received this phrase - "there is no need
to be timid." I often question what I have been given
if it makes no sense to me, and this morning I was just
confused regarding how this applied to Ann's life.
But when the line keeps coming, I acquiesce and start
writing. I jotted down the note below and wrote Ann
a little note at the end conveying that I was not sure
what this meant but it seemed to be meant for her.
As Ann was leaving the house, she turned to me,
putting the note in her handbag and said, it is as
if you had crawled into my head with this note.
Ann relayed that she had not told me what was
going on at work, but she had been praying intensely
this morning before getting out of bed for an answer
to a work problem - and this note was the answer.
I admitted that I was confused when I received
the message and questioned its validity, but as usual,
it appears to have been the message that she needed
to be received. I half-jokingly said, I am just the
messenger and write what I receive, which is truly
what I do most of the time.
Publishing this note today, I believe it speaks to all
of us who have the answer, know the way, would be
able to implement the needed solution, if only we would
be less timid. What I am saying here is that this note
clearly states to Ann, you, me, and all of us that
it is time for us to assert ourselves, whether it is
in our spiritual, family, work, or social lives -
and by so doing stand up and proceed when
we know we are on the right path.
I believe God wants us to flourish and get what
we are rightfully entitled. I know there are a few
things in my life that I am being too timid about
and have decided to press through my hesitation
and self-doubt and get on with what needs to be done.
Perhaps you too may also need to take a more
assertive approach today.
Here is some help.
NO NEED TO BE TIMID
There is no need to be timid when
you know you are on the right path –
when you have the right answer –
the solution that is needed - instead
assert yourself and ensure you
have been heard.
There is no need to be timid when
you are ready and able to lead the way,
see clearly what needs to be accomplished
and have a plan for bringing it to life.
There is no need to be timid when
you have the answer – have the abilities
and skills to turn it into a viable solution –
without concern or fear of failure.
There is no need to be timid today,
so be prepared to move forward in
your preferred direction – pushing
past the confusion of others as you
improve life for all concerned.
