Divine Timing

This is your card reading for Wednesday, October 21st/15.  Your card today dropped out of the 'Healing With the Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue (this was Doreen's first published deck...published in 1999).  Your card is 'Divine Timing', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Pay attention to doors that are opening and shutting for you right now.  Walk through doors that open, and learn from the doors that shut.
Your prayers are being answered; there is no doubt about that.  However, everything operates according to the Universal Laws of Divine Timing.  This means that certain pieces of the puzzle must first fall into place so that other parts can come to fruition.  If you try to skip or rush certain pieces or parts, the whole plan will lack a solid foundation.
Don't try to force open any doors that appear closed to you.  Instead, ask your angels for guidance to see if the door closed because of negative expectations, or if it's simply a sign of Divine Timing.  Look for other doors that DO open, and walk through them with faith and gratitude."

My message for you today is this:
Allow me to share how the message today resonates personally with me, with the intention that you will relate to this in some way within your own life experience, also.  I have had a project that is very close to my heart (and that feels completely aligned with my Soulful purpose), which I had had to 'put on the back burner' due to my time and energy being drawn in other directions over recent months. I had been very frustrated with that, and was asking myself why these circumstances of feeling 'overwhelmed with demands on my time' were presenting when I had this heart-held project in the works that I could give no time to?
Now...I am in Arizona and I DO have this window of time---I have allotted myself the time---yet I have been 'forcing the inspiration', it seems.  Just this morning, before the card for your reading revealed itself, I had the thought that perhaps something 'else' had to happen before I am meant to take the next step with my project.  The conference that I will be attending here in Phoenix in early November 'came to mind'.  
Inspiration cannot be FORCED!  We live in this physical reality wherein our 'time' is so scheduled.  I was literally attempting to schedule INSPIRATION, for heavens sake!  I am not denying that to bring any project to completion---including Soulful ones---requires a level of discipline.  Yet, there is also a degree of 'creative flow' that occurs when you are in alignment with Divine Timing---I experienced this profoundly when my 'Empowering Yourself Through the Akashic Records™' course was birthed. It's as though things are 'flowing through you' and it feels effortless, and yes...Divinely orchestrated. Joyful, even.
Just because YOU may have determined that 'now is the time', because it all fits conveniently into your calendar of events, does not mean that the Divine views things in the same way.  There are often underlying energies at work that we are not aware of here in the physical.  
Personally, I am going to relax into my project, rather than attempting to force it into being. I will have faith in Divine Timing.  I will continue to hold this project in my heart and make myself available to attend to it as the doors present themselves.  I don't mean to imply that I will just passively sit back and expect it to 'create itself'.  I will be conscious and mindful and will take 'conscious action' when the Divine presents a doorway.  Simply put, I will have faith and I will surrender to Divine Timing.  To 'surrender' does not mean that you don't take action---it means that you take 'guided action' rather to attempt to orchestrate every aspect. In what area of your life does surrendering to Divine Timing resonate with you today? Choose to 'surrender' to it.
Blessed be...
