I like to preach because it makes me want to practice what I preach
I like to preach because it makes me want to practice what I preach
The more humble I feel the less responsible I feel
I have a plan
God has a plan
Gods plan is infinite
Not everything goes according to my plan
Must be Gods plan
Love is not the easiest path but it is the simplest.
There are many possibilities but no probabilities
It is such a great adventure trying to grow towards perfection
Especially among so much imperfection.
I find when I try to implement changes in my life, that it is difficult to overcome the habitual practices, and then sometimes there can be doubt in the ability to make the change. But I am heartened by one area of change, and that is to spend more time in stillness meditation and/or reflection each day. So if progress can be made in one area, it stands to reason, that perhaps giving it more time will allow for change in other areas. One doesn't generally transform everything all at once, a little voice tells me. Have patience for the metamorphosis of the caterpillar. Perhaps the process at this time is more like building the cocoon so that the transformations can take place, but it's one day at a time right now. Can I make better choices today for health, for sanity, for spiritual reflection? Can I look everyone in the eyed today and just be kind? Those small steps can build momentum, so that I'm not just stuck in patterns I can't get out of, but that I can see there are efforts and they are growing.
Indeed, if this is happening, and I think many of us can agree there is a difference in the feel of the spiritual energetic circuits, then perhaps that is the reason we are encouraged to increase our connection and the frequency of our quiet times, in order to increase our own capacity for reception of this new light. Some encouragement has come to us in the suggestions of three 20 minute Quiet Times a day.
Hi Bob, I know! I barely dragged myself to the breakfast table by 8 am these last 2 days! (In all fairness to my humanness, it IS an hour earlier!). And I, as well, had some ideas about food, like you did. A Youtube I accidentally heard while working on iMovie, had me meeting all pre-diabetic questions with yes! So, I'm looking to drink the 2 tsp apple cider vinegar/2 tsp lemon juice in water before each meal til it tastes bad. Unfortunately, it was delicious, so that means "body likes it" and will cut out sugar again.Ive been a bit lax since xmas with a that great choc chip cookie recipe.
Found a prayer in a 2012 journal. I think I'll use this for preparation before the QT at Morning Table for this project time:

Hello, Father. I am looking to you and your perfect silence of consciousness, so full of benevolent attention and pregnant with creativity.You said, Ask and ye shall receive, so here I am.I want your perfect will to be done through me and I want Your guidance for completion of these tasks. To You I give these hours of my life in service.I ask, from Your omnipresent mind, an understanding wisdom. I ask, from Your pervasive Spirits, wholistic vision. I ask, from Your myriad helpers, fresh concepts and clear direction. But mostly, I ask that Your love be with me, that Your humor enliven me, that Your Mercy and Grace inspire me so that the seed of my life may bear fruit in Your garden of life. Thank you, Amen |
