Yes, I was mad at God because of the cancer diagnosis. I thought I should have been protected because of the work I do in the world.
I think that any time of great pain is a time of transformation, a fertile time to plant new seeds.
Today is the day to break free from the prison of the person you know yourself to be and step into a self you have yet to know. Will it be comfortable? No, but do it anyway.
Releasing the invisible ties to those who have left you, betrayed you, disappointed you or hurt you, you open up to higher realms of love, peace and joy.
Growth is usually uncomfortable. If you're looking for comfort, you will more than likely feel tired and old earlier than you want, and the misery of your caged soul will always be looming nearby.

What I know for sure is that we are all created with this phenomenal force inside of us that can have us withstand - that God never gives us more than we can handle.
God's will can become your internal reference point from this day forward; it is your choice.
God never gives us more than we can handle. Everything that comes our way is coming our way so that we can grow and evolve.
While your past can inform you and your future can inspire you, the moment of choice exists in the here and now.
