buried hard lack learning miracle rather reason struggle trust
I am learning to trust my instincts, rather than struggle too hard with reason ... because reason can get buried in misinformation, or too much information; and it can lack the miracle of love.
following happens hold invested laws ok trusting
It is OK for me to hold out for what I want. It is OK for me to find a way to make it happen. As long as I am following my truth, as long as I am not invested in how or when it happens or who helps, it is more than OK. Trusting the outcome, trusting the laws of the universe, is different from being invested in the outcome.
accept anytime based coming committed consequences following god longer looking means natural peace reasonable somebody trusting truth walking whatever
Anytime I am looking to somebody else as my source, I'm coming from scarcity. I am no longer trusting God, or the Universe, for my harvest. It's reasonable for me to have expectations based on what somebody I trust has committed to. And it's natural for me to feel disappointed when that somebody doesn't come through. But when I feel more than disappointment, when I also feel anger, it's because I deviated from my truth. It's because I compromised my truth to get what somebody else promised. Because when I'm really following my truth, I will be at peace with the consequences ù whatever they are. I can accept somebody else's truth, but I must live my own truth. And sometimes that means walking away from a relationship.
easy foundation growing love loving relationship somebody strong trust
It's easy for me to have a relationship with God. I know I can trust him ... to be there, to do the right thing, to love me. And, it's easy for me to have a relationship with me. I know I can trust me ù not to be perfect, but to keep growing in that direction. And when I find somebody else I can trust, I have a strong foundation for a loving relationship.
best determination expecting fine line somebody
There can be a fine line between determination to see the best in somebody and expecting him to change.
avoid taking
I don't have to be doing too much to avoid taking on more!
cried deeper feels god quit remind sound trying weary
I cried, and cried some more. I told God that I was weary of trying. And, God told me to quit trying. It doesn't sound like a revelation, but it feels like a revelation. Because I got it on a deeper level. I'm going to quit trying. When I forget, I'm going to remind myself. I'm going to do what I want to do; and I'm going to quit trying to do the rest. It's not the doing that's exhausting; it's the trying. The doing is exhilarating!
chance deal familiar feeling felt fully glad happy recognize second sooner third wondering
I am here again, in a familiar place feeling something I've felt before, wondering why it's still here, why I didn't deal with it more fully before. But I'm glad I have a second chance at it ... and I know that if I need a third chance, I'll get it. I also know that if it comes up again, I'll recognize it sooner and deal with it more readily. This is growth. And, I am happy to be alive.
ability accepting ahead equally friend lesson struck timely today truth
I was struck today with a realization that a friend had way ahead of me. I was equally struck by his ability to live his truth while still accepting me as I was ...a timely lesson for Jan.
hear quiet truth
If we quiet our minds, we can hear the truth discerned by the heart.
acting caught talking
If we're not careful, we can get caught up in talking about what we don't know ...instead of acting on what we do know.
believe contribute life love
I am sometimes disappointed, but I love my life ... and I must believe that the disappointments contribute something to what I love.
deterrent launching seen settling
I have, in the past, seen settling down as a deterrent to growth. It doesn't have to be, though. It can be the launching of new growth.
beauty inside love
Love really does make everything beautiful, from the inside out.
