How will we manage these economic times???

Can we rely on brotherly love at this point in time???

If not, can we get to the point where we can???

How do we become free of our present time of crisis???

2 Chronicles14

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Releasing The Drama

Releasing the drama in our lives.

Why do we choose to hold onto drama, anxiety, fear.

Do we gain peace from such behavior?

Are we so conditioned to stress that we choose to maintain its insanity

for the sake of being "normal."

Saying, "Its the way everyone reacts, so it must be normal."

Would life be too boring without the chaos/conflicts?

Or is there more?

Does facing our stuff/ego cause us anxiety?

Will we feel shame/humiliation as we face the time wasted in misery versus

the time we could have been in joy, thus keeping us stuck?

Is there a better way?

There is no shame in humbling our selves to Truth.

It is freeing.

Peace and renewal are possible.

We must be willing to change.

Yes, there is a better way.

Are we ready?

2 Chronicles 7:14 (New King James Version)
14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

James 4:6 (New King James Version)
6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:

“ God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”

Do I Love Me???

Are you struggling with fitting in to this present time?

Questioning your very existence?

It seems like we are faced with a time of great decision.

Nothing is as it was, nor should it ever be again.

Our world teeters on the edge of being polar opposite of its intention.

Man has tried to play God, only to create a false image of what is truly real.

The basics of life ( food, shelter, water, clothing)have become a commodity for profit.

Good health practices treated as abnormal.

Morality as sinful nature.

Meditate on the following questions, see where it may lead you.

How do we rise above the falsehood of the ways of this world, or do we even want to?

Personal responsibility is the key, do we dare open that door?

What will we have to release in order to pursue the Truth?

A life lived in Truth and Love is the way we will get on the path that leads to happiness and joy.

Where do we begin?

Is there a standard that we could live by that would be equally possible for all mankind?

If there is, would we be willing to pursue it?

One scripture comes to mind:

Luke 10:27

27He answered:

" 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart

and with all your soul

and with all your strength and with all your mind';

and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself."

Can we get to point where we love so much that we hate no one?

Can we realize our oneness?

Can we let go of our personal dramas and see the needs of others?

What does love mean anyway?

Divine Essence working in us and through us.

Can we give what we don't have?

Can we get what we need to give? if so by what means?

HOW OUR GARDEN GROWS

In our garden grows flowers and more
a potpourri of adventure; lets see whats in store
memories of trips...a botanical display
from seeds we've collected from sights along our way
now colorful reminders of places we have been
wonderful attractors of critters every now and then
butterflies and bees
squirrels in the trees
birds bright and pretty
and an occasional kitty
ah in my hammock as I lay nicely curled
such a lovely retreat from the cares of this world

Journey Of A Butterfly To Be

Journey Of A Butterfly To Be

My journey has been a search for Peace, Love, Joy & purpose.

A curiosity, a longing to go beyond the ordinary.

Faced with the trials that soul searching can bring,

I take on the challenge to see where it leads.

Reflecting on my relationships with God, people & nature

surprising revelations emerge.

Some of my findings take on the form of poetry,

which is one of the ways I will share my journey.

Where do I begin?

I've often asked myself:

Who am I?

What am I?

Why am I?

So begins the journey within...
