Don't let the enthusiasm you have for your dream throw you into a panic about how you're going to make it happen. The enthusiasm you feel is God's reassurance that you've caught a glimpse of His will for you. Joyful expectancy brings us closer to our dreams than fearfully striving to bring them about.

The 3 Breaths
"When my heart is in my dreams, no request is too extreme."
"When my heart is in my dreams, no request is too extreme."
You must rid yourself for all time of the notion that something stands in the way of the accomplishment of what you would do. Nothing stands in the way of your goal but what you yourself place there. When you once discover that you are really a free being, you will readily understand.
It is not so difficult to possess what you wish for as you think it is. You magnify seeming obstacles. You wear yourself and your energy out by the needless struggle you make. You work backwards. Your desire is now actually in the line of least resistance, while you act as though it were the way of greatest difficulty. –Carrie Moss Hawley, My Soul And I

Thought is the only reality; conditions are but the outward manifestations; as the thought changes, all outward or material conditions must change in order to be in harmony with their creator, which is thought. –Charles F. Haanel, The Master Key System, 1916
Confidence is worship, you worship whatever you trust. Are you trusting more in fear or in God? What are you worshiping? That is the test. –Around The Year With Emmet Fox, September 9

A consciousness of God’s presence as One who loves you makes all life different. The consciousness of God’s love promotes the opening of your whole being to God. It brings wonderful relief from the cares and worries of our daily lives. Relief brings peace and peace brings contentment. Try to walk in God’s love. You will have that peace which passes all understanding and a contentment that no one can take from you. Feel sure of God’s unfailing love and care for you and for all His children. There is freedom and serenity in those who walk in God’s love, held safe in His loving care.
Prayer for the Day:
I pray that I may walk in God’s love. I pray that, as I go, I may feel the spring of God’s power in my steps and the joy of His love in my heart. –Twenty-Four Hours A Day, Hazeldon, September 9

I love to see flowers awaken to a new day. As the sunlight touches them, they respond by opening their petals in a beautiful display of color. In the same way, I open my heart to the grace of God. The activity of grace in me is as constant as the sun rising and falling. Grace is always present.
My heart’s opening takes no personal effort when I surrender to the light within me. Grace comes naturally. I feel warmth, acceptance, and love. With each new moment, I surrender my old ways and embrace more of this divine activity. I let grace bring about perfect outcomes and let go into a deep feeling of trust and peace. Whatever efforts I make in life, grace adds more good than I could ever imagine.
Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.—Hebrews 4:16

Joke of the Day
A priest and a taxi driver both died and went to heaven. St. Peter was at the Pearly gates waiting for them.
'Come with me', said St. Peter to the taxi driver.
The taxi driver did as he was told and followed St. Peter to a mansion. It had anything you could imagine from a bowling alley to an olympic size pool.
'Wow, thank you', said the taxi driver.
Next, St. Peter led the priest to a rugged old shack with a bunk bed and a little old television set.
'Wait, I think you are a little mixed up', said the priest. 'Shouldn't I be the one who gets the mansion? After all I was a priest, went to church every day, and preached God's word.'
'Yes, that's true. But during your sermons people slept. When the taxi driver drove, everyone prayed.'
'Come with me', said St. Peter to the taxi driver.
