Trusting the Universe

It's funny actually what inspired me to write this post. I tend to misplace my cell phone. How this happens, I'm not exactly sure. Last night, I set an alarm on my phone so that I could remember to set my intentions since tonight is the new moon.
This is why I was kind of confused as to why I could not find my phone when it should be ringing off the hook [technically can't use that term anymore since it's a cellphone xP]. But it wasn't, it was completely silent.
Next, I went to checking my email inbox because I did a little shopping last night on some left over money I had. I had spent all night last night looking around and getting excited over various different things. It's rare that I shop for clothing items but I wanted to splurge and I felt like it was time to jazz up my style a little.
Anyway, I was a little upset this morning because the ear wrap [it's like a type of earrings except it wraps around your ears - it's good for people who don't have pierced eyes. I do have pierced ear, I just like them]
that I had ordered was said to be cancelled. It was aggravating to me because it was one of my favorite ear wraps and I had spent so long looking through all of them to find the perfect one. I sent an email to the sender asking why it was being cancelled. After that I found myself thinking, "I WILL get that ear wrap. Hopefully it's just some kind of mishap because I really want those ear wraps!"
Something popped into my head - Charis talking about how she had missed an appointment with a client by accident and how she felt upset with herself about it at first. Going so far as to beat herself up about it. But then she stopped and thought, "Oh yeah! I TRUST the universe." That's when it dawned on her that if it was suppose to happen it would have and that everything was always working out in divine order. A trivial as me getting upset over an ear wrap seems - I have felt off lately, as you know. I've been worried about what to do with my future and blah, ect. So it was my turn for it to dawn on me that I would get that ear wrap if it was in my divine interest and if it wasn't, I could plead all I want but it ain't comin', honey. Ha!
So, I found myself thinking about how the universe is ME and I wouldn't do anything to myself that I didn't think was best for me. But I sometimes it's hard to think of the "outside" world as a part of myself. I got that doubtful feeling of wonder. "Does the universe REALLY have my best interest at heart? How the heck do I even know I'm so intricately a part of it? That it's all a reflection of myself?"
As I am thinking this, I had a bottle of lotion in my hand and I dropped it beneath the couch. Reaching down without looking I pick my phone up instead. I smile, I couldn't help it. It was so "coincidental" for me to find my phone that way and especially when I was thinking about trusting the Universe. If that wasn't the Universe , I don't know what it was. I found it in divine timing and the Universe helped me to find it, even. It seems small but it was a reminder that everything is working out in divine order and I can trust the Universe.
I began watching a video on youtube about 2012 and the amazing changes that are happening. It spoke of the huge impact meditation has and that's when I realized all the answers I'll ever need are here within me. All I need to do is listen and meditate on what to do next. But the most important part was trust. It's not blind faith. It's believing in the Universe. And you can only trust when you believe. That's how I reach out to my higher power. Thank-you, Universe for opening my eyes to this. I love you, so much.
