You wanna make God laugh…
…tell Him your plans, so the saying goes. I’ve come to this place a few times in my life where this idea of ‘my creation’ vs. ‘God’s creation’ seems to be what’s up. It feels to me like I had something all perfectly planned out and it was all unfolding exactly according to my vision boards, affirmations and ideas of how it SHOULD be, and then it appears from a physical perspective momentarily to all fall apart.
I’m right, smack, flat in the middle of one of those moments right now. I left for a trip across the country last week with the printout of the ‘perfect property’ where my friend and I could both run a business together from. We had our car filled with children, healthy snacks and pregnancy tea for her as she was just nearing her 2nd trimester. We arrived at the property to a Disney-style welcome. There were squirrels scampering up trees, a red cardinal on the roof, bunnies from the forests all coming out to greet us! We knew this property was it! Our children raced out of the car and into the eight acres that the gorgeous house sat in the middle of. We walked the property with the visions of the business and mapped out and redecorated every little corner of this house. When it was time to move onto the next property we first had to take a good 10 minutes to locate our children. They were in the woods making fairy houses and when they finally came running exclaimed, “It’s perfect! We love it! When can we move in?”
Fast forward a few days to our return home when the owners took another offer on ‘our’ house and the pregnancy tea was tossed into the trash as the baby was miscarried in a hotel lobby’s restroom in the middle of nowhere. Huh? This was not our plan! This is not how we expected things to go down! How is this a match to our energy of overwhelming expectation of what we wanted and feeling that we were so on course?
I’ve listened to literally hundreds of hours of Abraham tapes in my years and still moments like this catch me off guard. It feels like something went energetically wrong. I’m the first one to fess up when my energy is out of whack, but there are times like these when it doesn’t feel out of whack. I mean, I cannot imagine anyone else having a stronger energetic desire for that house– particularly with the kids energy in there! Their energy is so much more pure– they don’t worry about things like foundations and mold in the basement or mortgages or neighbors. They are simply focused on what’s right in front of them.
But this is when I need to remind myself of what Abraham so often talks about. They often talk about this in the context of mates– that one partner leaving is in alignment with what the person is asking for energetically but then they get so upset over their mate leaving that they are no longer a match to the new mate that was right around the corner because they are now focused on lack and abandonment. I need to keep in mind that if this house is not the perfect match, then keeping my focus on all that we are wanting, the perfect one will show up! As long as I don’t mourn and lament over what is lost, the new one must show up.
This is the true test of faith in the process. When it seems like none of this really makes any sense and is all nonsense, to keep believing in the process. For as we are often reminded– we’ll never get it done and we can’t get it wrong.

I learned a lesson almost similar to your experience recently and the message that I received was to allow the negativity to flow through me without letting it effect me. I used to think of ways to avoid the negative or block it, but now I keep my mind open to the harmony and balance that all situations bring. I have been practicing this harmonious way of life and it feels good, but it is far from easy. I know you know this but it will all work out, better than you imagined.
Nice to know I’m not alone! I know we all have these moments… thanks for your words of encouragement!
Angelina — I applaud your intention to stay open to the bigger unfolding that is yet to come. Easy, no… but I absolutely, positively 100% KNOW that you’ll come back to us with a wonderful story down the road about how divinely PERFECT this twist in the story is. Light to you, dear friend, on your journey…
I can so relate to your experience. I’ve gone through it too many times. Consider that there may be something far more perfect trying to attract you and you’re not seeing it because you’re focused on what you thought was the perfect manifestation. Often when I’ve been disappointed by something I thought was perfect not turning out, I would find something very soon thereafter that was much more perfect and then realized why the first situation didn’t pan out. Trying to manifest the first situation, though, was very beneficial because it helped to hone exactly what I wanted. It was part of the manifestation process. That’s been my experience several times anyway.
Yes! Already 3 days later, things are starting to show up letting me know where I’m headed next! It is definitely a challenge for me to stay present though and not want to immediately constructing my own new plan and start trying to line things up again! Breathe. hahaha… I know this is my challenge of just trusting in the process without wanting to micromanage the universe! I can do it with my kids and coworkers, it’s just doing it with my own life that I have challenge with! hehehe.
Thank you for sharing your story, I had a similar thing happen to me last year in California. I remember listening to something that Abraham said later about how sometimes when you are going to make a move you think the end result is getting to the new place. When in fact the real end result is the alignment that you get in the process and when you come into complete alignment with yourself you no longer need the move, or the universe gives you something even better that you did not see coming.
I love this Angelina! I have been there! Prepare to be amazed by the something better that is now in your energetic space. Completely ignore the appearance and look UP! Say Thank You to the Universe for releasing you from that path and directing you to your True path. That place was “the sound of abundant rain” signifying the pouring forth of the PERFECT place, home, birth– that has your name on it and is now being revealed.
Namaste,
Sia
