Change, Faith, and New Shoes

A Mother knows what her child needs. A child simply knows what it wants.
When the time for change comes, Universe gives us a gentle nudge, and says: "This situation, person, or job, is not what you need anymore."

As a mother she says: "You have outgrown these shoes, they no longer fit."

Often, we hear her, yet, we keep trying to shove our feet in our old shoes. We want our old, familiar, and comfy shoes. The ones that have kept our feet warm and dry in many storms. Of course we want to keep them. We know them so well. We even know where the holes are.

But, we find the old will not fit anymore. No matter how hard we keep trying, we just can't get our foot in that shoe. And, because we cannot do that, we cannot stand up, walk, run or play. We just sit there fidgeting with that shoe.

Only becuase we have done exactly what little children are supposed to do. We have grown. And out-grown.

Universe, in her infinite love and wisdom has been watching us grow. And she provides us with what we need, what fits us at the time.

If we stubbornly keep trying to shove our feet in our old shoes, we only deplete our energy. If we throw a tantrum to Universe, we only upset ourselves.

Sometimes its easier to take a deep breath of faith, put on our new shoes of courage, and take that first step.

Great Mother sees much farther along the road ahead than we can.

She will always make sure we have the right shoes for the journey ahead.
