Did You Ever Notice...

Did you ever notice that God has a funny way of redeeming you when you least expect it? I'm by no means a religious person - I think my friend G. says it best, I'm Catholic a la carte - but I've seen this twice now in the last couple of days and it's been a nice affirmation that what you give is equal to what you get.

First, someone close to me, who has been having a bit of a financial situation recently suddenly came into some money when they needed it most. Without going into detail - the money was quite literally, a godsend. And it was nice to actually see that sometimes unanswered prayers are unanswered for a reason. You'll get yours when it's time.

Second, my own experience. As many of you know, I've recently started working for myself as a freelance writer and PR person - a freelance communications expert if you will. It's been just about a week and I've been very busy, so far so good. However, the decision was not without its uncertainty and sleepless nights. Today I got an insulting email from someone that reinforced to me why I'm better off working for myself. Not long after, I received an incredible work opportunity that will keep me afloat and help further me along the path I'm looking to travel. It was all I could do to not respond to the insulting email with a giant you-know-what, but alas, I'm a professional and I fully believe that you won't get far in business by treating people like s***. And so with that fully in mind, I took the high road and will continue to do so. Funny how something that makes you so angry is almost immediately tempered with something that made me relieved/happy. It's almost as if God was saying - take a deep breath, you're doing just fine.
