A couple of weeks ago I was really confused and upset about one of my very closest friends. I thought I knew where we were standing, but that all changed in an extremely short amount of time. And it hurt, really really badly. Partially because I thought it was my fault, and I had done something wrong, but didn't know what. Everything was very muddy, and I had no idea what either of us were really thinking. Extremely confusing and scary. Whenever things I think I know change that suddenly, it shakes me. Needless to say, I was in a bad place emotionally.
About a week and a half after this had started happening, I went to my inMotion class. Usually I learn some interesting things, and maybe stretch my horizons a bit, but I wasn't expecting a complete answer to all my prayers. I don't even remember what the lesson was on, but I know we talked about the importance of keeping your emotions clear in any relationship. Oh, it was time management. And actually, the teacher was talking about relationships with time. But it applied perfectly. At the end, he threw in a teeny bit of information about the process of creation, which has always fascinated me. So I talked to him for twenty minutes about it afterward. He shared with me the seven steps to creation, 3 of which are creating space. Because before something can come into existence, there has to be a place for it to some. Cool stuff.
So I came home, and decided to try what I had just learned. I was home alone, and wrote an extremely long letter to this friend. I explained why I was confused and upset, everything that had ever made me mad at them, every single gross emotion I had ever felt, and got it out. I felt so much better, and even though they'll never get that letter, it needed to happen. So I cleared out my emotions, and created space, although I didn't see that part yet. I left my room for a few minutes and played piano, and when I came back, there were 2 texts from this person. Everything was back to normal, I still don't know what had been going on, but it was okay now. Within minutes of creating space, it appeared.
Powerful things happen when you allow them to. Malachi 3:10 "Prove me now herewith if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." I firmly believe that so often, the reason there is not "room to receive it", is because we don't accept it. We're not opening our arms to the amazing things around us, we're not creating space for it. But when you start creating space, amazing things happen. Try it. There's nothing to lose.
