Hi Stevers,
Neat move there Stevers, putting that challenge to Uniquesoul. It may feel safer to comment from the sidelines but taking part in the action is more rewarding (and sometimes very intense!). I want to grow by doing it, not reading it!
And thank you for your meticulous reflections via a Loving Mirror. Will have to ponder what you say. I have no doubt there is merit in it, just don't know if my need to let go of doubt is so complex in nature (yet!). My doubt is often irrational, a bad habit linked to depression and helplessness.
Here is today's experience in giving up doubt and experiencing trust/faith in its place. I had to laugh! Life really is a comedy sometimes.
My niece is driving up to Paris to collect her Dad for our family reunion. My two (very precious) kids offered to accompany her so as to show her around that magnificent city. Through 'coincidence' I discovered she drives really fast, breaking speed limits (trust in God). I felt worried and hardly slept last night. Why was I entrusting my children to someone who is potentially a dangerous driver? {Stevers: I felt the fear just under my diaphragm.]
At 6 a.m. we saw them off. Requesting the driver to drive within the speed limit if she had our kids on board and telling the kids to take responsibility and watch she did just that. I let them go and turned over doubt.
It worked OK and I have had a peaceful day. All arrived in Paris safely.
But get this: I opened my letter box when I got home and found a SPEEDING FINE. Mine. My first ever. For driving 97 km/hr in a 90 km/hr zone. I was flashed at the end of June apparently by a speed camera that has been installed in mid-June.
As they would say in French, c'est bizarre!
Adieu,
French Claire
