God Breezes

God breezes are those times in your life when you really feel as if God steps in and moves the puzzle pieces around for you, opens doors or windows, or somehow everything falls into place in some magnificent way that in your wildest dreams you couldn't have come up with that solution. I like to share God breezes as my way of witnessing to the spirit's work in my life. Too many times people keep those "God Breeze" moments to themselves. They're afraid that sharing them with others will make people think they're crazy or something.  I think they happen to everyone all the time, but few people share them and others dismiss them as coincidence. They're not coincidence. Coincidence is God's way of saying "Hi there! I'm here to love and help you, if you'll just step out of the way and let me!"

My God breeze moment was this: I have had a new idea in mind for my business, but I had no idea if I could ever find the time to work on it. I talked to a friend and he liked the idea and was willing to partner on it, but I needed content, lots of content, to make it work. Without going into specifics and spoiling it, let me just say that it will depend heavily on my writing skills, my friend's amazing graphic and web design talents, and our combined marketing acumen to make it work. And I think it will work.  I even shared the idea with a client I trust in the industry we hope to sell the idea to and he went wild over it, even asking "When will it be ready? When can I buy it?" Always a GREAT sign.

But then I was back to the sticking point - content. Time. Content!  How would I find the time to write all that's needed to be written in order to get this project off the ground? 

I decided to turn the problem over to my business partner - God.  Over the weekend, I relaxed and didn't try to push myself working on the business idea.  I asked God for help figuring out how to get this off the ground and that was that.

On Monday, I opened my inbox to find an email from a content website I'd written for since 2008.  They were notifying me that they were changing their business and offering to buy out all my articles once and for all or.....I could have them back, copyright and all, to use as I saw fit.

I was floored. I sat there staring at the email for a while.  There are over 50 articles in exactly the format I need and the topic I need to get my business idea off the ground.

Coincidence? Perhaps.  You decide. As for me, I said a quick and heartfelt "Thank you" for the God breeze, and now have the material I need to launch my new idea.

What's your God breeze this week? Witness it. Share it. Don't be shy!
