Recently
I really wanted to go to Madrid to be a part of an event however it did not
happen. I was not even angry as I thought that God knows it better, always! God
is good, always. Who knows what could have happened if I had gone. God knows.
Not me. Instead of going to Madrid I started to slow down a bit. I took deep
slow breaths and I went for long walks in the village, where I
am currently living.

I started
to read Streams in the Desert by L.B. Cowman. The book is about prayerful
meditations. The spirit was mentioned in this book, not once. Listen to
the spirit!

I started
to work as a freelance teacher but it seemed to be more difficult than I
thought. My students wanted invoices however I did not have enough people
to teach thus I delved into the solution of the problem facing
me. Being your own boss is great, when you have sufficient income to pay
the taxes. I am sure, if I had waited more, I would have found more students. Nevertheless, I just did not want to risk it. I sent my curriculum vitae to many
schools. No answer. Few days, nothing. Couple of weeks, nobody called me except
some schools offering 2-5 teaching hours per week.
I got
angry and I sent more CV-s. I really wanted to work. I was desperate. I did not
ask for it though!I was not patient and I was not gentle. I did not have the right attitude. No patience at all.
Patience
is an exceptional skill and I have a video about it on YouTube for the reason
of that it is crucial for success. Now I know and I practise it
every day.
Patience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyfXExQey4Q One day I got a text message from my partner. He asked me how I was. I remember that I became really silent, gentle and humble.
I just replied `` I would like to work, please. ``
I actually sent this request to God, not to my boyfriend. The following day I was walking around in Villasar de Mar. Suddenly I heard a voice in my head (spirit, inner guidance etc...)
`` Buy an exercise book! ``
I went to a stationery shop and I bought a yellow exercise book. As I was browsing around in that shop, my cell phone rang. I picked up the phone. It was a director from a language academy. He asked me if I could go for an interview the next day at 11 am. I told him that I could go.
My yellow exercise book is full of idioms, such as worth (one`s) salt ( I am certainly working on it). I have a really nice group in this academy. I am preparing students for their Cambridge Advanced English Exam. I am very lucky and grateful to God. I also learn a lot from the students.
Deep down, I know and I decided that one day I will be my own boss, but until then I will be ``just`` a humble employee and I will love every minute of it.
