A THANK YOU TO GOD AND ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HELPED ME

(God Working With Messiah Carol Yemima (Gilden) Through The Holy Spirit)

Last night at 4:30 am....Insight and inspiration came and woke me up from a sound sleep.....
I wanted to share this with all the people who have helped with their love, support and insight with my journey.
I love and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Without you....none of this would have happened.
I want to say thank you to God...Who has the patience and love to ever so gently guide me. Thank you for all the angels who you have sent now, who are with you and yet to come that have been apart of my journey.
I love you.....

I am a woman of Faith.
I have seemed to have forgotten that in my last few days.
I do believe in something bigger than myself that guides and helps me with my journey.
I do believe in God…not the God that we have been taught that sits and controls us like puppets in a giant room in the sky.
I am still glowing from my meeting with the Fab duo ‘The Beekman Boys’
Most of you will ask….who is that? These 2 great guys from NYC started with a dream of becoming local farmers. They were already successful with 2 high paying jobs.
They totally went out of their comfort zone and worked hard to become the successful farmers and entrepreneurs that they are now.
My journey has honestly been a miracle.
I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life for the longest time.
I was in jobs that I was not happy in and was in multiple relationships with dysfunctional men. I call it my ‘lost’ period.
I had to ask the questions of ‘why’?
The one thing that they all had in common was ME. I took some time off and started having a love affair with myself and God. I started to get to know who I am and God were.
I was then lead on a journey that started with Joel Osteen’s book 'Become a Better You.'
That book opened my eyes and heart to who God and I were.
I call it Faith 101.…

My journey took me to Unity Church where I met and learned from some wonderful people.
I also received a wonderful gift from my brother…. a camera that he no longer needed.
I discovered my love and passion for photography that opened my heart and eyes to the beauty of the world around me.
Yes, God was opening the doors to the world around me all because I asked him to show me.
Now, I am in Portland, Oregon.

I am fulfilling my dream. At first, I thought I was a photographer but now I know I am more than that. I am an artist. My tools are the camera and my laptop. They help me create the beauty that I see all around me.

I have forgotten the miracle that it took to get me here. I have forgotten the important lessons that I learned to get here.
I was to busy complaining and moaning about the small things in life that in the grand things of schemes are nothing.
It took a book signing of the Beekman Boys to remind me that nothing ever comes easy except a cookbook which was given to me as a gift from some stranger who didn’t know me which cost $33. That book took the Boys 2 years to create….2 years to create a beautiful cookbook.

Look how far I have come in 2 years. I am working for a good company. I am selling my Frameable greeting cards in a retail store. I will be doing an art show in December along with other shows in 2014. How can I bitch and complain about that?

Every night, I thank God for all that the Divine has done for me that day and I ask if there is anything that he wants to tell me.
This is what I read last night…..from Joel’s book ‘Become a Better You’….."God would not have put the dream in your heart if He had not already given everything you need to full it.” Goes on to say…."You have to realize that God has matched you with your world. In other words, even though at times you many not feel that you are able to accomplish your dreams, you have to get beyond those feelings and know deep inside, I have the seed of Almighty God in me. Understanding God will never put a dream in your heart without first equipping you with everything you need to accomplish it. If you feel you don’t have the necessary wisdom, talent, ability, or resources, simply remind yourself, God has matched me with my world. He has already put in me what I need.”

I needed to be reminded of that….God has matched me with my world. That simple truth is all around me…with my cats, friends, the strangers and all the beauty that is around me.

Miracles are happening all the time…….
All it took was a simple…yet…not so simple book signing to remind me of my truth.
Thank you Beekman Boys and the stranger who bought me a beautiful cookbook to remind me that with hard work and faith that Thy will be done.



AMEN"
