Collaborative Orchestration

I realize blogs are generally meant to promote some topic or business - preferably something that a large number of people can relate to, and apply directly to themselves. I realize this is not that. So far, this is more of a “spiritual journal.” But that is what I feel called to write here…especially after the dream I just had.

It’s difficult to put into words, but in my dream, I saw a glimpse of a situation in my life that happened yesterday, something that was so synchronistic it felt like a sign, and (in my dream) God/HP was just kind of like, there aren’t enough people courageous enough to write about signs. He wants us to share more. He wants me to share more. To be a voice with the courage to speak. To remind people He is here and He is working.

So, here is the sign I had yesterday. And no, I don’t know what it means exactly; I just saw it. I was at the gym on the treadmill, and I was reflecting upon how my preparation to play meaningful songs at Chris’ Celebration of Life this Saturday felt like a spiritual effort. Guided, meditative, and done in service of a Higher Power. Something I want to do and am willing to do, but also something that wants to be done through me.

My thoughts drifted to Music Therapy and the motive to help people heal through music that directed me to pursue a graduate degree in the field. They also drifted to one of my last days at Flagler College before graduation, when one of the professors referred to my music as a “music ministry.” I wasn’t particularly religious, and he was, and it stuck with me that he would refer to my music in this way- as a ministry.

I decided it was time to get off of the treadmill and go do some weight training. As I went to grab a towel to wipe down the equipment, I saw the back of a t-shirt a girl was wearing. It said, “Musical Therapy Ministries.”

It was definitely a “whoa” moment. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anyone rocking a music therapy shirt in St. Augustine. It’s not really a big thing around here. And for the phrase to include “Ministries”?

I felt so strongly that the Universe or God is right here with me- guiding me along my path and showing me He is working in my life.

Interestingly, and I will note this because it is interesting, yesterday morning I also had an on-the-phone meeting with a judge from the Tribunal for my annulment case.

There is great power in collaboration. I’m definitely curious to see what He does!
