A lot. But I see the direction I'm being led in...

I wish I could sit down with you and have a really long conversation about everything I’ve learned over the past month and the truth I see coming to light! It’s crazy and wonderful. I’m honestly learning something new every day and sometimes it motivates me, sometimes it discourages me. I see myself being a source of light and strength for others but there’s so much darkness it’s almost as if I can’t make a dent! So I surround myself with people that want better for themselves, society, this world, this universe and try to create that change.

Hopefully you’re on that path too. Hopefully you’re starting to see the power you have and the ways in which you can help others with that power. That knowledge and removal of the ego is the only thing that can keep us a float in times like these. Especially during this month, this day, hour and minute of my life I’m seeing just how much people need someone to stand up for what is good and pure in the world. We have enough people being motivated by selfish intentions. It’s necessary for people who want better for others to take the wheel.

It’s time to re-evaluate the playing field we’re on. I’m realizing that it’s not all fun and games but that there is more under the surface and it’s going to take more to be that light than I expected. Does anyone else feel like they HAVE to be positive or else there won’t be ANY positivity? No desire for greatness? No hunger for service or peace? I’m sure you feel the same way. You have to! I really need you too! And if you do, please let me know. It’s a struggle everyday seeing what is really going on around here and having to find the proper way to react.
There’s so much more I want to say but it’s all flooding my head at one time and I know it’s going to come out as jumbled thoughts and rants!

My Prayer:

God, I see what you mean. I know what you want for us. I hear your call. As your child, I look to you and ask for help. You’ve sent me amazing people to guide me in this journey. I just ask that you continue to foster my desire to help, that you push all that I touch to want to become better. I ask that you lead others to live as you would desire them to. I ask that you forgive us for not being the lights that we should and that you give us a renewed purpose and motivation. I ask for conviction and redemption. I ask for mercy, love and prosperity. I love you and through you I love all others. Thank you for everything.

Finding the Truth

The saying is overused, but definitely has meaning. “There are 3 sides to every story: yours, theirs and the truth.”

One thing I’ve always done is try to see every side of every situation. I try not to be so consumed in my own feelings that I can’t see someone else’s reasoning for their actions. This has helped countless times where it’s allowed me to step out and take an objective view of what‘s occurring.

Only when you step out of your emotions and start to see everything for what it is, not what it FEELS like it is, can you heal and grow from it. That’s what I’m doing at the moment. A lot of my life recently has been filled with stepping away. Looking at things from above or outside. I’m constantly thanking God for the gift and seeing that this gives me the chance to let go. I can easily get over things because I see the fault in myself as well as the fault in others. Not often do people take that time.

Already, TRUTH is being revealed. Nothing short of amazing. My advice to anyone else going through a tough time is that sometimes you have to stop and search. Look for the facts. Evaluate the situation fully and make sure you don’t do it alone. Yes, sometimes it’s good to ask for help. Others can provide an outlook that maybe you just can’t.

If anything, stay true to yourself and if you sleep at night free of worry or turmoil you’re good. If not…there’s some work to be done! But everything comes with time and evaluation. You’ll begin to see the light or darkness in everything and you’ll be able to decipher the next move with ease. Sometimes it hurts a little, but it’s for the best.

Stay open. Stay honest.
