Key Four: Divine Timing

So. Divine time. The Divinely timed. When we have done everything we can, we have taken all of the steps and put all of the energy into making our dreams come true, the very last thing that we can do? Is wait. For the divine timing. All in it’s time and place and energy. There is no forcing an answer, there is no forcing a decision or an event, it is going to come, at the end of the day, exactly when it is meant to.

All I can really say about how this fourth key applies to me is that it doesn’t make sense until it does. You can hear the phrase, divine timing, and remind yourself, divine timing. This will come in its own time. But until I felt divine timing, it was hard to really believe. All summer, all year, I have been wondering what to do with myself next. I’ve had pursuing theater on my mind, getting my masters as a goal, but it kind of just felt like a goal that I was pushing and pushing for. I got home from a six month stint in Israel to immediatly audition for a fancy school in NYC, two weeks after arriving home. Got in, but couldn’t make it work financially, and I had to turn it down. And then I sat and thought, what’s up universe? What now? And why tease me like that? I thought I had the answer. So I sat. And I thought about it. And I tried to make some plans for the fall. Work. Staying at home. Just chilling out and taking it gently until next year. My brain made up a lovely little alternative plan that felt mediocre but acceptable-ish.

But anyway, it hit me suddenly, in the perfect divine moment: “GO TO NEW YORK! HERE! Look - here is another program that is perfect for you. Go there!! Just go! Dont’ think about it. Just GO!”

Woohoo. And so then I just knew, in that moment, aha! Here is why that first fancy school didn’t work out and I had the opportunity to weight the alternatives. I needed to really look at what it might look like to give up on what felt right, in order to get over my fear and just go for it. So, readers of this blog, guess what? I am moving to NYC in September! And I am as of this past Tuesday, officially a Masters of Fine Arts Canditate in New Media Performance! Woohooo!

I’d like to add here, since this is the last part of my four part blog, although I’d love to continue to post my random observations over the next few months as well, that I am so grateful for the opportunity to share my experiences with you all. And thank you for all of the support and love!

Until the next divinely planned moment, Aho yo, Sarah
