My sweetheart and I  got in a disagreement last night. When I woke up this morning, I realized my heart was closed. The thought came, that when I notice my heart closing, that's when I need to allow it to open. When I close my heart, I shut down all feelings and possibilities of resolving the situation from my heart and the highest good for all.

So when I got up...I did ignore a bit and clean like a mad woman...perks of getting upset for me....the bathroom toilet sparkles now!! :)

All is good now and I can discuss what happened, tell my real feelings, take responsibility for my thoughts and actions and act like an adult. Problem resolved and happiness reigns!!

Love will always protect and guide.

Dear God,

Thank you again for letting me see the real truth and not allowing my stubbornness to dominate my emotions. Please remove all negative emotions that are not of the Christ Consciousness. Let the Holy Spirit guide my every thought and action. Let God love protect and guide me every day and let joy be in my heart always!!

I ask all this accordance to God's Holy Will for myself, my sweetheart, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact with this day and the whole world. Amen.

Self respect. Loving yourself. Loving yourself enough to not harm yourself through drugs, alcohol, tobacco, gambling, sex, sugar, etc to the point of addiction. To the point of effecting your quality of life and others. To the point of it controlling you!!

Ha ha!!! I have to take my own advice. My sugar addiction is not fun when I overindulge. If I get a box of reese's pieces...I eat the whole box. I can't have it in the house at all, even if I can resist for awhile, I eventually give in. After a night of indulgence, my face is swollen, my head hurts, I can't think straight and I am irritable. This is not how I want to be. Bu...t how do I overcome this?

Dear God,

Help me to overcome my addiction to sugar. I need help to be able to resist the sugar craving and just say no. Help me to be strong and realize that my health is way more important than that brief indulgence. Replace my cravings with a desire to eat something healthy and tasty. Guide me to foods that will satisfy me. Help my angels by whispering in my ear not to eat that, but eat this instead.

I ask for your sincere assistance from the bottom of my heart, as I want to be the healthiest I can to do your will.
I ask all this in accordance to your holy will for myself, my sweetheart, my family, all whom I come in contact with today and the whole world. Amen.

Dear God,

I am concerned about my sister. No one has heard from her in a couple of months. Please keep her safe and help her with any and all addictions. Remove the desire from all addictions of alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, marijuana, sex, gambling, sugar, etc. from myself, my sweetheart, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact with today and the whole world. Replace them all with the love of God, the wisdom of God and the will of God. Protect them all from slipping and falling again and give all the strength to resist what is not true.

I ask all this in accordance to God's will. Amen.

I have my own issues with sugar. I notice my body doesn't feel well when I eat too much sugar. I become irritated when I don't have any or "come down" from the elated energy.

My sweetheart and I joked about our little disagreement this morning. All is good. All can be good.


When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,

    when sorrows like sea billows roll;

    whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,

    it is well, it is well with my soul.

                  -Horatio Spafford


Dear God,

Thank you for another beautiful day. Help me to see and do your will today. Life is simple, hot tea, feeding the horses, my mom still being alive, gratitude for everything. Helping others when I can.
Thank you.

I ask all this for myself, my sweetheart, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact with today and the whole world. Not my will but thine be done.

This morning I made my sweetheart his coffee, turned on the heater and got his Sunday Morning show started. Then he started a disagreement and started what I call mud slinging...it's like hitting below the belt. I usually retaliate with a defensive mud slinging myself. This time I had some grace and in the end diffused the situation without mud slinging back (ok maybe one or two comments) but I stayed calmer and could think this time. That means listening to what the other person is really saying without reacting or having your buttons pushed. Difficult at times but possible. As soon as you start taking it as a personal attack, ironically it is in a sense because it attacks your ego, then all is toast, burnt toast without even the butter to make it taste better.

Now the real trick is, after so many years of trying to learn how to be calmer and respond in an adult fashion, is not to feel superior in the situation after the fact. You know, smug, I'm better than him/her, I would never act like that, etc.

The person is actually teaching you to be a better person by their behavior and you are teaching them. Isn't this what we want? People acting like adults, speaking from our hearts. I have a way's to go. I was still shaking and superior thoughts crossed my mind but today was a step forward. One under my belt, knowing that I can do it again and again. One day....:)

Dear God,

I pray for wholeness in every aspect, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Thank you for letting me remain clearer today in the midst of hurtful comments so that I may start responding more from my heart then from my pain. Remove all past hurts and pains from my consciousness being and world and replace them with the Christ Consciousness and the healing balm of Gilead. Help me to be Christ in action for myself, my sweetheart, my family, all whom I come in contact with today and the whole world. Not my will but thine be done. Amen.

It's late and I noticed that things didn't go as smoothly today. There was a bit more irritation in the air from myself and my sweetheart. Hmmmm coincidence or not?

I just read Mother Mary's message which stated:

The following is Our Lady of Medjugorje's January 25, 2014 Monthly Message :
English
“Dear children! Pray, pray, pray for the radiance of your prayer to have an influence on those whom you meet. Put the Sacred Scripture in a visible place in your families and read it, so that the words of peace may begin to flow in your hearts. I am praying with you and for you, little children, that from day to day you may become still more open to God’s will. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
 
Whether you believe she is giving messages really does not matter. If the message resonates with your heart, then it matters.
 
Whether I read the bible, or the precepts from the Buddha or insights from my friends and sometimes license plates, the messages are all similar in the fact that love, peace, wisdom etc is at the core and what is the highest good for myself and all.
 
Dear God,
 
Thank you for showing me a day without praying to you first!! It wasn't all that difficult but how much easier it is when I do pray/meditate in the morning to set my day. I hope that all people will find that peace within through all their difficulties whether financial, health, emotional, spiritual, relationships, work or any aspect of their life and mine. Help us all look to each others highest good in all we think and do.
 
I ask all this in accordance to your holy will for myself, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact with today and the whole world. Amen.

I missed a day!!! I can't believe it!!! Getting too busy for God???? Hmmmmm. Forgive my humanness. :)

Went to the ranch today and when my sweetie is there by himself, it becomes the proverbial bachelor pad! But I'm happy cleaning and making it spic and span again. I really can only stand a huge mess in the house for so long. It seems to create chaos in my brain and life if I don't get it clean.

Dear God,

Thank you for the ability to clean!!! and for the happiness that it brings to my life and my sweethearts. Thank you for my happy heart!! Maybe it's having a purpose, whether that is cleaning, or working or taking care of the grandkids. Doing nothing is hard!!! So I thank you for all the tasks that you put in my path, the challenges and the opportunities. I am so grateful, today!!
Release me from all that is not of the Christ consciousness and replace it with your God love, God wisdom and God power.

I ask all this for myself, my sweetheart, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact with today and the whole world. Not my will but thine be done.

Again the gallbladder!! I woke up at 5am with the pain and panic but I quickly asked Jesus to help me heal. I believe that it is totally possible to have it healed completely.

Your gallstones are a result of many things. You may have to get it removed or you may not. You do not have to be concerned with what happens. You will be taken care of.

I want to know but I need to have the faith that things will be done according to your will, not mine. I realize that I don't always have to know the reason why things happen or don't. That's just my ego.
I will trust in you!!

We only want the best for you. We are here to comfort and guide, remember we are just a prayer away. Our arms are always here for you to be hugged. Our love is your love and love dissolves all.

Depend on ME!!!

Dear God,

Thank you Jesus for helping me call down this morning. I ask for my gallbladder to be completely healed and the rest of my body. Please give me guidance to heal my gallbladder and dissolve my stones or be aware if I need to have surgery. Heal my physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of myself. Let me do your will each day and guide me to that end.

I ask all this for myself, my sweetheart, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact with today and the whole world. Amen.

I had a gallbladder attack last night and they are becoming more frequent. I have been fortunate to have avoided surgery for over 30 years. Fear gripped me this morning and I kept wondering what I could do to help myself get better. It was a gripping fear, fear of surgery, fear of what I will be able to eat after surgery, fear of not getting the surgery and having to have an emergency surgery.  Oh Boy....then all of a sudden I remembered....GOD!! Ask God to take my fear and direct me. It took me a couple of minutes after being in the throws of my own whirlpool but I did start to calm down.

Dear God,

Thank you!! Help me to not be afraid of past, present or future. If I am afraid, I can not access divinity and the wisdom for that moment. Please help me to be peaceful and calm and in any situation so that I may access the infinite wisdom of the divine and know what I need to do, say or act. Sometimes that may be nothing.

I ask all this for myself, my sweetheart, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact with today and the whole world. Not my will but thine be done. Amen.

Each person has a right to their own opinion yet what happens when someone is obviously not really interested in understanding yours and just wants to be superior or right? I get impatient and angry trying to impose my right view on their right view. OUCH!!! I usually end up in a mild disagreement or worse a shouting match and then walk away angry or hurt when both sides possibly start slinging mud (hurtful comments) at each other all over wanting to be right. But what is really happening? We all want to be heard, loved and accepted. So is there a way?

Aha!!! Situation: A families 7 year old child has been in the hospital for a month and they are picking him up at 9pm at night a 45 minute drive away. They wake up the 6 year old to go with them. Tom was of the opinion; I would never wake up my 6 year old and take them that late.

So how to deal with this? For me, instead of imposing my opinion I need to ask questions so that the other person doesn't feel like I am imposing my opinion on them or making them feel wrong or that their comment is insignificant.

For example I could ask Tom: You wouldn't take the 6 year old because you think it's too late and you are concerned about his welfare?

What if he wanted to see his brother and that he really wanted to go? What would you do then?

Maybe this is not the most perfect approach but it's something I need to work on.

Dear God,

Help me listen to what other people have to say  without judging, criticizing or condemning. Help me to understand their point of view and by doing so it allows for a new possibility of awareness to happen or come forth.

Thank you for such a wonderful opportunity today to see what I need to work on.

I ask this for myself, my sweetheart, my family, my friends all whom I come in contact with today and the whole world. Not my will but thine be done. Amen.

I had two drinks last night, just two and my head feels like it's in a fog. I feel disconnected from myself and not in top form. The same thing happens if I eat too much sugar. The same thing happens if I over indulge to the point of fanaticism. Balance. What do I need to keep my balance, my harmony and to stay in tune with divinity. Anything that takes me away from the divine just doesn't work for me. I can over worry, be jealous, be angry, procrastinate, isolate myself,  etc. So I am trying to find that balance in my life, that direction that leads me to happiness.

Dear God,

Help me to be still in any situation and be quiet and go within to ask what the divine answer is. I know it will be based with the highest good for all. How will that look, how will that feel, what will I need to do or say that will reconnect us all to divinity.

Help me today and every day to depend on divinity for everything that I do. Let me infuse all with your love, wisdom and direction.

Not my will but thine be done for myself, my sweetheart, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact with today and the whole world. Let there be peace in all our hearts. Amen

Trust. Faith. Love.

I trust that divinity will be there for me in every way.
I have faith that it will happen.
And love is the avenue for all to be.

I'm not even sure what that all means but I know I have to trust in the direction that divinity has lead me to. I know that my faith will carry me through and the outcome will be based in a loving response that will benefit myself and all.

I don't mean that I should be blind, or not protect myself from what is harmful or be a doormat. Even love is conditional and unconditional.

Dear God,

Instill in my heart, the smile that is yours, that will dissolve all issues with your love. The truth that sets all free with the knowledge and wisdom and compassion that all deserve and desire. To honor myself and others and have patience with our humanness. Teach me to really listen to the heart of others so that I may heal not only my own patterns of wounding but others as well.  Teach me to be all these things and more that I may help myself and others by the divine perspective instead of the human perspective.

I ask all this not only for myself, but for my sweetheart, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact with today and the whole world. Not my will but thine be done.

Today I woke up and my sweetie put the kettle on for my tea.  I was actually going to make a different tea which I needed to boil in a separate pot but instead I thought:
I am going to honor his gesture  and with LOVE in my heart, I smiled.
Why is today different then all those other days that he has whistled my teapot? because this is the first time in a long time, that I have been able to open my heart to him after his infidelities.

Dear God,

You know that I decided to open my heart again, no matter what the outcome with my sweetie. Thank you for this small gesture today. My life with my sweetie is better since I have a new outlook on my situation. Does this mean he won't cheat again....of course not. But maybe if my heart heals, so will his.

Thank you!!! I ask for the healing of all hearts that have been broken, that you will put a little sunshine in their hearts and know that they are loved, always. I ask for this for myself, my sweetheart, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact with today and the whole world. Not my will but yours be done. Amen.

What do I need to do today, God?

Keep to your morning routine of writing and exercising and you will gain a momentum on self discipline. You don't have to over do it...just do it everyday. This will help build your self discipline which will spill over into over areas of your life. This is one step in your journey back to me.

Keeping focused on divinity each morning helps me stay focused on divinity through out the day. (That is my goal after all.) Is it that simple, just ask and then listen?

Most of the time when I am writing my morning insights/prayers, I become joyful, calm and centered. Some mornings are harder than others...but the saying keep on keeping on tells me to have faith and keep going.

Dear God,

Thank you for another day!!! As I get older, I just want to do your will. Please help me to be joyful and see others points of view. Help me to listen and really hear what other people need. I know I like to talk and sometimes I am thinking of what I want to say instead of really hearing others. Help me to be a better listener and friend!

Not my will....I ask all this for myself, my boyfriend, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact with today and the whole world. Amen.

Self discipline...oh how easy it is to slip on that banana peel and stay down for the count. I woke up feeling a bit down again and feeling like my life isn't my own. I think I have always followed my boyfriend instead of following my own heart and desires. I need to integrate both, yet at this time in my life, I really need to have the self discipline to do what I need to do each day. Currently that is writing this blog everyday, just saying no to sugar (90 percent of the time), 20 minutes minimum of exercise and that's a great start!!!
And:
You know what you must do-Take the bull by the horns.
I have been whining and complaining when I need to be setting my sites on the goal. The gold ring of victory. I need to put on my matadors cape and tame the beast.
Remember our love always soothes the savage beast within. Embrace our love and you will be able to gently lead the bull around like a pet.
My love will turn him into Ferdinand!!!

Dear God,

Life is a peach or the pit....I'm tired of gnawing on the pit. No nourishment there!! The peach is sweet and juicy, just like having you in my life. I ask for the strength to continue to carry on with your directions, wherever that may lead. Please strengthen my resolve, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually that I may follow you in faith and love.

I ask all this in accordance to your holy will for myself, my boyfriend, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact with today and the whole world. Amen.

A Year of Rumi
by Andrew Harvey


Lesson 364: Surrender
After despair, many hopes flourish
just as after rain
thousands of roses open.
Surrender to the Almighty –
and be led into life.

I woke up feeling blah. Who want's to be blah. I feel like the "old me" is getting sucked back in to itself and I need to say. Hey, that's not the REAL YOU!! The real you is full of life, happy, excited about the day and it's possibilities. I'm not talking about the occasional off day that we all have but a momentum or a pattern that has existed for awhile and this one has!!! So the first step is discipline, setting a goal and sticking to it!! Another thing that I haven't really done in my personal/spiritual life. Oh yeah, it's easy for me to work and work but to take care of my needs is another story and how can I ever be whole in that sense of holy li ness if I don't start with me!!!


Dear God,

The whole point of this prayer experiment is to be led by you. I want to see how my life will be changed. Already my attitude is more uplifting. Today I noticed that I was being sucked back into the old me and I am grateful for the awareness to recognize that or was that you? nudging me ever so slightly. :) So always stand beside me and guide my day, help me see and know the God truth in every situation. Help me to be kind but firm in my resolve and let me speak from my heart when prompted. I want to be led by God truth, God wisdom, God Love, God direction, God harmony, by all that is YOU! Why? because my ego has led me like a ring in a bull's nose.

I ask this for myself, my boyfriend, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact this day and for the whole world. Not my will. Amen

Good morning life!! I am loved!! You are loved!! We are loved!! Me is loved!! I never, ever, ever want to forget that this is so. In my darkest and lightest moments, of my ups and downs and sideways skids of life, my goal is still love. How do I do that? Every day I pray, or meditate, or be quiet and talk or listen to that still small voice inside that directs my day. That has compassion for me every moment. That shows me how I can be a better person. That allows me to be me without judgement or criticism. Just connecting with divinity everyday, no matter how I do it.

Dear God,

Show me how to love myself first so that I may be able to love others in your grace. Help me to understand myself first so that I may understand others. Help me to be slow to anger, that I may have the patience to give true wisdom. Help me to follow your will and not my own so that what I do give is pure of heart. Just help me everyday to become.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Ok Just relaxing today but divinity doesn't take a day off. Could you imagine!!! if the sun didn't come up for the day? So as much as I want a day off, I really WANT to stick to my 365 days and not miss a single day. It's probably easier to get up and write earlier. Reminder to myself to start working on the book and I already registered a name for a website just in case. I also have my daughter designing a logo so I am moving forward. What's most important is to never give up!!

Dear God,

All I want is to do your will because you know what is best for me and my happiness. Working on this project and the ideas/inspirations for a book (which I never thought I would do) are coming fast and furious. I ask for the wisdom, love and direction to complete this project and any other endeavor that is for my highest good and others.

I ask this for myself, my boyfriend, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact with today and the whole world. Not my will but thine be done. Amen.

My sweetheart arrived last night so that's why I'm late posting today. Funny how distractions can keep you from your goal but.....I can't be so inflexible, that I don't recognize the higher need at the moment. Such a fine balance. Ego must step aside.
My sweetheart has been very sick with the flu for about 2 weeks and very congested in his lungs. So I took the time to give him a foot reflexology treatment. The smile in his heart, made a smile in my heart.

Dear God,

Help me keep that balance between work, play, helping myself and helping others. Keep my thoughts focused on your will for me so that I may accomplish all in a spirit of joy and harmony. I ask all this in according to your holy will for myself, my sweetheart, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact with today and the whole world.

Thank you. Amen.

Wow...already in just 7 short days this wasn't the first thing I did in the morning. Did I forget how easier life has become because I started praying each morning? It doesn't mean LIFE is easy....it's just easier.

Even though I made this a priority in my life, it shows me how easily I can get off track if I don't stay focused on my goal. There are no excuses and I need to take total responsibility for my life.

Dear God,

On that note, lets sing!!! ok that put a smile in my heart!! Thank you. I feel more at peace after my prayers. Thank you. I have more patience. Thank you. I am more aware that I need to listen to others and not thinking of what I want to say. Thank you. I am getting better at being less irritated at the little things. Thank you. Sugar is still an issue but I am stronger. Thank you. I am working toward a goal of possibly writing a book. Thank you. I still have more to work on but with you I know I will make it. Thank you. But most importantly, My heart is beginning to smile again. Thank you.

I never know what I will be writing until I do. I woke up not feeling so well today and I think I may be getting a cold. So I bumped up the Vit D, zinc, and C. Diffusing some essential oils and staying away from sugar, bread and drinking lots of water and hot herbal tea. ( No I'm not a saint!) There always seems to be something that will try to take you away from your focus of positive change.

I have never been a good one to stick to my personal goals so I'm really trying to embrace healthy in my spiritual, emotional, mental and physical arena. I decided to start with improving the spiritual aspect of my life first, though I am working on all 4 areas simultaneously. Did I take on too much?

So my health seems to crop up at the moment as the boyfriend situation seems to be on an even keel at the moment but you know those oceans when you are sailing a ship...you will run into another storm!! I plan on weathering them all to the sunny side. It is a journey after all.

Dear God,

Today I don't feel up to par. Maybe you are telling me to slow down a bit, I'm not sure. Ty for helping me stay focused on what is important and my goals. It was hard to tell my boyfriend that I need to start my day after speaking with him and that I will call him in a couple of hours. Please give him the understanding and patience. Help him not feel unloved and help him to begin his own disciplined routine. I feel better when I have goals so please God help me be strong and keep them going.
Please show me what I need to do to help prevent or at least to shorten this cold/flu/virus.

What is my goal? If you purify your body, soul and mind you will know more of me. Aye, Aye Captain! We can all become the purified vessel that divinity can pour love and light in and through and around us. And then....You will have a smile in your heart and I will have a smile in mine.

Thank you thank you thank you. Not my will but thine be done. I ask for a healing for myself, my boyfriend, my family, my friends, all whom I come in contact with this day and the whole world.
Amen.

Last night one of my prayers were answered. I let my heart open and had a conversation with my boyfriend. I was honest about my feelings. Being vulnerable is so scary yet so rewarding. No emotional blackmail, no games, no tit for tat, no withholding my love and the list can go on. I did ask him that I needed to not be judged to feel safe opening up. He did honor that.  I realized that I  want a relationship based on honor and respect. I'm not sure yet how or what that journey will look like but know that it has to start with ME.

I want to honor and respect myself first, so that we can create healthy boundaries, have a direction that we want this relationship to head in and the self discipline to stick to it. I want to make a plan of how we are going to achieve this as this will help us stick to our plan. I want the compassion and wisdom to understand each other and be patient with each others humaness. We need to support and pick each other up on this journey towards wholeness. We need to have the end vision in mind. The prize at the end of the rainbow. The beautiful outcome that embraces us in divine love.

Dear God,

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the gift of opening my heart just a bit last night and for the insights. Please help me on my journey of wholeness physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.  I ask all this for myself, my boyfriend, my friends, my family, all whom I come in contact with today and the world.
Not my will but thine be done.

Note to self: Start creating the outline of the blueprint for our relationship and then sit down with my boyfriend and work on it together. As we make it our own, so will our relationship evolve.

Jan. 6th 2014

Dear God,

Today I have a lot on my mind. As you know, my mom is 85 and I just got done visiting her. I'm already sad that when she passes that I will miss her dearly, though I am so grateful for the time that I have been able to spend with her and for the healing of our relationship. I guess that's what I really need to focus on...all the good things!!!

The other burden is my gallstones. They seem to be getting worse and you know that I don't really want to have surgery and besides I have no insurance. I am trying everything that I know to do alternatively and I guess that I should be grateful that I haven't had to have it taken out since I discovered the stones over 30 years ago!

The other thing on my mind is once again my boyfriend. How am I ever going to trust him again. I want to forgive him for his lies and infidelity but I don't know if I can completely do that. I know resentment is like poison to our relationship and that I have been truly sitting on the fence. Should I stay or should I go? Most people would think that I was crazy to have been staying this long. He does have good qualities, he holds my hand, he has a calming influence on me and doesn't get upset by things that most people would. His concern for me is real and I feel safe and protected. I don't have to work a 9 to 5 job and that has left me time to pursue other interests. I truly did love him. I really need to make a decision one way or the other but it seems every time I choose to stay, his past behavior keeps me from trusting. Now what???

Please ease my heart from sadness about losing my last parent, my dear mother. Please direct my heart toward forgiveness to my boyfriend and that my hurts and pains are healed, as are his, so that we may move forward in a loving, kind and supportive relationship. Please dissolve all resentment and mistrust this day and every day. I ask for a healing for my gallbladder.
Direct my life according to your will. Thank you, thank you, thank you!   What would I do without you in my life!

Insights:
What a setup that was!! :)
Lesson for me: Focus on the good things.
Flip side: I don't have to forget but I must forgive.


This was in my inbox this morning!

Make Me Sweet Again
Make me sweet again,
fragrant and fresh and wild,
and thankful for any small gesture.

Coincidence or God Perspective:

I was traveling back home yesterday and a young man of about 12 was going up the aisle of the plane with a bag collecting everyone's trash. First I thought, how unusual since that's the first time I ever saw someone else other than the stewardess collect leftovers! I then proceeded to have a smile grace my face and feel all warm and fuzzy instead.

This morning as I was meditating ( I more or less am quiet and let thoughts come and go or ask questions) I was thinking of what I would tell the boy. I did thank him that night but I missed the most important part until this morning. His father told me he likes to help but what did he really do for me when I smiled and had that warm fuzzy feeling? He put a smile on my heart!!!

The timing of this thought tied in with my ongoing struggle with my relationship with my boyfriend of tens year. Five years into the relationship I choose to shut off my heart and my love because I couldn't trust him and I didn't want to get hurt. (See how that works for you? ) This incident? opened my heart again and I am choosing to make the best conscious effort I can to reopen it. What do you think, coincidence or God Perspective?

Dear God,

Thank you for this gift that I want to carry in my heart at all times. May I be able to always put a smile on someone else's heart no matter what the situation. To do that, please help me always keep a smile on my own heart. I trust that you will direct my life to that purpose or any other that you have for me and all whom I come in contact with. Already I pay more attention to the threads of you in my life. I can only imagine where this journey will take me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

May this day be as glorious as you.

As always, not my will but thine be done.

Insights/Thoughts:
Oh oh the boyfriend is pushing MY buttons!!! It's so easy to come back with a snide remark when he lashes out at me. It's so easy for us all to blame, hate, shame, judge, fear, ignore, lie, yell, be a victim etc at the other person and not look at why I am reacting. Already into the NEW YEAR and I have to face my own follibles. So as my anger and irritation escalated this is what I said.

Dear God,

Please surround my boyfriend with divine love from my heart to heal all that has hurt your heart. Please give me the patience and understanding to speak from my heart instead of reacting. All I want is an authentic relationship that can heal us both. I ask all this for my boyfriend, myself, my family and all whom need to be healed. I ask all this in Jesus name. Not my will but thine be done.

After this prayer, I felt more peaceful. Thank you God!! (Geometry of Divinity)

Jan. 3rd 2014

Thoughts: I couldn't get to sleep last night till 2am....I know it was those two slices of Caramel Topped Apple Bread that I made and ate at 7pm. Another thing I'm trying to eat a lot less of.....sugar infused food!! Sugar just makes me sluggish and crabby and who wants to feel that way!! So this morning was a bit depressed, not depression...just depressed. Kind of like compressed instead of expanded. Exercise would help.........The list is getting longer!!!

Dear God,

Thank you for another day. Please direct my day and let me know your will for me. Please give me the strength to overcome my addiction to sugar and replace it with healthy food and choices. Help me to remove my anger towards my mate regarding his infidelities and replace it with loving, kind thoughts and understanding.

I ask for peace love and happiness for myself, my family all whom I come in contact with and for the world.

In Jesus name, not my will but thine be done. Amen.

Jan. 2 2014

I will be posting my thought/insights/comments and then my daily prayer. It's kind of scary because I will be revealing my personal life, names omitted of course. If you disagree with anything, it's ok!!! This is about how God will show up, change, and transform my life through prayer.

I am excited and nervous and have no idea what will happen.

You are more then welcome to join me on this journey and share your own results.

Todays Thoughts:

I really wanted to start yesterday!!! It was really bothering me, trying to figure out just how I could do that!!!  I thought ( or was it God)  how I like to have things just so sometimes. Let it go. Oh Boy....I think I'm in for the ride of my life.

My Prayer:

Dear God,

Lately my life has not been as happy as I think it should be. Can we fix that? because I really don't know how to by myself. I can't trust the man in my life because of the things he has done in the past. You know what they are and I can't seem to get past that. I am not satisfied with my work and I feel like my life has stagnated. I want to be happy and fulfilled and I know you know what I need to do to make that happen. So I am asking for HELP!! Please direct my life each day.

I ask that I have love, peace and happiness for myself, my family, all whom I come in contact with today and for the world.

Thank you for another day of opportunity. Not my will but thine be done. Amen.
