<\/span><\/p>\nNothing had come to me as yet, so I began to ponder all the things that would be good to talk about. I heard, \u201cAnd then . . .\u201d and continued pondering other topics.<\/p>\n
I heard, \u201cAnd then . . .\u201d again, and dismissed it again, because I had no idea what that would be about.<\/p>\n
I heard, \u201cAnd then . . .\u201d again and laughed out loud while typing that in as the message title. I realized I would be given the information as the week unfolded. There have been rare occasions that the message information was delivered as I walked from the back of the sanctuary to the podium. They\u2019ve never let me down! (God, Angels, Spirit Guides \u2013 whatevers \u2013 lol)<\/p>\n
So, as the week progressed I decided to get out my trusty link to Bible Gateway where you can look up verses quickly. I typed in \u201cand then\u201d and hundreds of passages popped up. I read a lot of those and discovered that whenever the Bible used the phrase \u201cand then\u201d it referred to a moment of change! Profound change.<\/p>\n
So, I argued with God that this would be a better message for the first of the year. I was reminded by an astrology friend later in the day that the solstice was coming up and it was a great time for change. Sheesh. I guess God might have a better plan than me.<\/p>\n
So as I considered the \u201cand then,\u201d along with the Solstice just days away, I realized that there was a wonderful opportunity to use this time and this method to really create chance in our lives for good!<\/p>\n
So, the process is this. . . . State your current struggle as if someone else was having it in the past tense. She was overwhelmed. He was worn out. She was fearful. He was alone.<\/p>\n
And then, add \u201cand then\u201d to the phrase. She was overwhelmed, and then . . . He was worn out, and then . . . She was fearful, and then . . . He was alone, and then . . .<\/p>\n
And then, add a possible new insight or action. She was overwhelmed, and then she found her center. He was worn out, and then he reclaimed his power. She was fearful, and then she became aware of her strength.<\/p>\n
Instant shift!!!<\/p>\n
Then say the \u201cAnd Then\u201d statement to yourself morning and evening until the Solstice when it changes to a personal truth statement. I was overwhelmed, and then I found my center. If you can repeat this to yourself for 21 days, true change happens! I hope you give it a try!<\/p>\n
Here are a few \u201cAnd Then\u201d statements for you to choose from. Maybe more than one will apply to your current situation. Notice how you can instantly shift as soon as you say the \u201cAnd Then\u201d statement. There is Divine Power attached to this! You are not alone in your journey and this is a tool gifted directly from Source just this last week for you to use!<\/p>\n
She was overwhelmed, and then she found her center.<\/p>\n
He was worn out, and then he reclaimed his power.<\/p>\n
She was fearful, and then she became aware of her strength.<\/p>\n
He felt alone, and then he connected to Source (and went fishing)<\/p>\n
She felt betrayed, and then she found her truth.<\/p>\n
He felt full of self-doubt, and then he woke up (awakened).<\/p>\n
She felt judged and in turn judgmental, and then she found compassion.<\/p>\n
He felt hopeless, and the he saw a glimmer of Light (The Light found him!)<\/p>\n
She felt anxious, and then she realized her worth.<\/p>\n
He felt full of uncertainty, and then he tapped into Source and was filled with \u201cknowing\u201d.<\/p>\n
She felt unimportant, and then she realized her worth.<\/p>\n
He felt angry, and then he realized the story he was telling herself. And then he laughed.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t have to know HOW any of this will happen. By being willing and open, things shift and you just automatically find your way into that new state of being. We tell ourselves things that are not true. We hear them in our head and we believe them. Most of the stuff we say to ourselves is just rubbish impressed upon us from events and circumstances long passed.<\/p>\n
These \u201cAnd Then\u201d statements allow our brain to open to new possibilities . . . AND THEN our heart finds the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
