Divine Timing – In The Big, Small And Tiny

One of the most beautiful things about being aware is the ability to recognize when Divine timing is at work. Those “coincidences” no longer become coincidences, but instead become moments where you can recognize Spirit – whether through Guides, Angels, or other beings of Light – has assisted you and is there supporting you. This can be in small day to day things, larger life events, or anything in between. Sometimes the timing can be seen in the moment, other times it may take years of hindsight to see the beauty that was at work.

I’m always curious and love to hear about how this shows up for other people, so I will go ahead and share a few ways this has recently shown up for me…in case you are curious, too.

Little Things

Two nights ago my 2 year old daughter woke me up in the middle of the night, like she does several times most nights. But this night was different. I was trying to ignore and see if she would go back to sleep or try to solve her problem on her own (it’s usually that she lost her binky or kicked her covers off). I nodded off and then she started back up again, but louder so I gave up and went in. When I came back to my room I heard a truck idling outside, which isn’t totally unusual depending on how late it is and I had no idea how late it was and if this should be concerning or not. I decided to look out our bedroom window and saw someone rummaging through my car!!! I woke hubby up and he ran downstairs with his shotgun and scared the guy off. My Sirius XM radio receiver was taken, but nothing else. It was 2:30 in the morning. I recognize that it wasn’t just “coincidence” that Piper woke me up then and instead was Divine timing at work. The even more fun part is wondering about if it was Divine timing more for our benefit (preventing even more stuff being taken) or for the perpetrators benefit (scaring him away from doing this kind of thing again!). People are strategically placed at the right time and the right place and you never know when you are the one that has been strategically placed for someone else’s benefit or growth.

Big Things

The fun thing about looking for the bigger moments of Divine timing in life is sometimes they can be harder to spot, but when you spot it it’s always like that “ah-ha!” feeling. And often the easiest way to spot the way the Divine timing had worked in hidden ways is to think about something amazing that has happened in your life. For me, one thing was being able to be a stay-at-home mom. That is one of the biggest blessings and one of the things that means the most to me in my life. If I take a second to look at my life and how that came about that I was able to do that, I can see the opportunities to be grateful for even some of the most difficult times in my life. I can see the ways to be grateful for some of my perceived unanswered prayers. In the case of being a stay-at-home mom, if my husband and I wouldn’t have had our first pregnancy loss in 2004, we would have never moved to Washington state where we lived for 9 years and encountered countless blessings. If we wouldn’t have had our second pregnancy loss in 2009, my husband wouldn’t have wanted to risk his job security with company A to go work for company B. Working for company B has blessed us in so many ways. First, it ended up providing an incredible pay raise and so when our third pregnancy stuck and we had our first born, we didn’t have to worry about me going back to work. Yes, we still had to make sacrifices, but his increased
earnings nearly covered what I had been making, so it was a fairly smooth transition. I just realized a second incredible blessing that working for this company has provided us. After we had our second child (again, after two more losses, which is a whole other story!), we moved back to Colorado to be closer to grandparents. When we moved back the wages at hubby’s new job were not the same and we are still recovering from working for several years at significantly decreased pay. BUT, had hubby not ever worked for company B in Washington, he wouldn’t have had the incredible mentors he had at that company, and I’m fairly certain he wouldn’t have had the confidence or the needed skill sets to jump out and start his own company here in Colorado. Company B, although much bigger than he wants his company to become, embodied the type of company culture he is trying to create and adopt for himself and his employees, and will ultimately be the key for our financial security and in some ways financial freedom as I can continue to be a stay-at-home mom and pursue my own entrepreneurial career endeavors, which will just lead to more financial freedom!

Tiny Things

I don’t just notice this timing in the little thins and big things, but also in the tiny things. The things that aren’t quite to the level of coincidences, but instead are the synchronicities. Those things where I feel Spirit is talking to me and sending me signs. Again, for example, when I’ve been struggling and sometimes doubting my direction or my path and if I’m hitting the mark or not, and a perfect song with perfect lyrics will come on. Or a friend will text out of the blue with something related to the subject I was pondering on. These synchronicities are also acts if Divine timing.

How boring my life would be if I didn’t recognize all the ways I am always 💯 being supported and guided by God and my spirit team.

What about you? How have you recognized divine timing in your life lately? Do you need help with this?
