Living Beloved: A Day In The Life | Part 3 of 3
Waking up as one beloved by God, I understand that today is inherently important. Today there are many reasons to find joy, because everything is a gift from God, a token of God’s infinite love. All the things that I used to worry about and all the things that other people worry about have no meaning for me. Worries are not part of my framework for living anymore, because I get all of my information and instructions for living from the Creator of the entire universe. The One who knows how many hairs are on my head, the one who feed ever sparrow, knows everything I need and is suppling it all in due time.
I wake up calmly, serenely and with positive expectation is going to be a great day. It's similar to the feeling of a student's final days before graduation. It must be the feeling someone gets in the days leading up to their wedding. There is this overwhelming love and eagerness for the future that lies ahead together. For me, it’s the feeling in the days leading up to big filming trip. It’s the feeling of driving up to the airport. It is the feeling of my soul settling into equal parts security and adventure. This is how I feel as I live each day as a beloved daughter of God.
Work:
At my job, I do my best but I do not push myself over the edge. My standard is excellence, not excessive stress. I understand that there's no sense in pushing myself to the absolute limit because I'll need energy, grace and kindness for the evening and the following day. It does not serve anyone for me to burn out or be completely spent. it doesn't please God, it doesn't please me and it doesn't please the people in my life. So I am learning to work within the inherent nature of creative rhythms: resting, working, resting, playing and working.
Eating Habits
Eating is something that historically has tripped me up. But now, as I am learning to be a child of God I can sense that the eating habits that are harmful to my health will naturally dissolve. Learning to live as one love affects every aspect of my life, not because I'm trying to change bad habits but because this one pivotal identity change trumps all other habits. I eat just the right amount so that I am satisfied and not stuffed. I eat things that are high nutrition and give my body exquisite, premium fuel. A person who is the daughter of the King of Kings does not need to eat sugar to feel good about herself. She feels good about herself because she is loved and valuable, because of WHO she is.
Quality of My Days
There would be a sense of ease and how I meander through my day. There's no need for rushing or cramming. It's about tuning in, tuning my ear to the ever-present whisper. I take breaks often, at least every 60-90 minutes. I am being trained to do this because it completely resets my state of mind and the positioning of my heart to receive. I have lived so much of my life striving that it is profoundly healing to rest in the waiting. I dwell in trust, knowing that something much bigger than me provides for me and loves me. I do not need to constantly earn this love and approval, I simply live it. The more I live in it, the more I can share it with others.
Friendships and Relationships
When it comes to friendships and relationships, I'm selective about who I let in. My primary intention in all relationships how to communicate love, destiny and support. To build up and edify. If for any reason, I am not in the state of mind to offer these things, it is better for me to spend time with my Creator so that my soul can be filled before I tried to give to others. My job is to bless people, to instill within people the sense of purpose, of greatness, of being so dearly loved by God. Every person that I meet is put into my life so that I can communicate to them, that they are loved by God.
AWL Productions
AWL creations are not something I have to do, but a joy, a privilege and a passion. I love that I have been given this outlet to express myself and to put beautiful things out into the world. If it is in God's plan for AWL productions to one day become a media company or creative studio, then so be it. However, the person I am right now is not yet mentally, spiritually and perhaps physically capable of holding and consistently moving that amount of energy. One day I can become her. I am becoming her. But for now, it is okay for me to be where I'm at. I'm learning to be loved by God, which is more important than having a company anyway.
It will be God who brings a company to fruition. The people that will one day be hired, and may work for the company for years! The ways that money will flow to and through this company. The location of this company and where every single team member comes from and the life journey that will have led them to this company. There is much still for me to learn and I have time. I am being trained in the ways of supernatural, holy, business operations.
I release all need to make AWL Productions “work.” I will just do my part and show up and create pieces, trusting in the process and all the things I'm learning along the way. I cannot see the whole way, for it is a long and winding road, but I can see that it takes me through the most a lush and breathtaking terrain I will ever see and experience in life. so I'm staying on the path, in the vehicle. I'm letting God drive now, and I let myself learn to be loved by God.
Future
As a daughter of God, I have an uncommon outlook about my life. It is not just an attitude or wishful thinking. I am certain about my future and it is my truth. It is more than belief. It is a knowing. I know that God holds my future and no opinions, not even mine, will supersede God’s plan. God has the absolute best, grandest plan for my life and I trust it. I trust God is leading me through this grand plan and that he has grand plans for every single human on earth.
A Prayer:
Hey God, I’m here and I’m listening. I know that you’re always around me, with me and working in me. Today, open my eyes and my heart even more than before, that I will see more of your live and your goodness in every moment of my day. I want to know the fullness of how good it is to be loved by you! Amen.
