Sometimes, it takes change something quite intense, extreme, to grab our attention and help us to see the reality of the life we are living. He doesn’t shake things up because He is mad at us or trying to get even for some reason, Heaven’s no!
He wants us to better understand ourselves, our family, our friends, have a deeper relationship with Him. He Hears us, He knows our hearts. It is the pain caused by all the suffering which pushes us to look deep within. To seek, to search, to find the truth, the essence of who one is.
Deeper meaning, understanding, appreciation, and most of all loving Him. I have more respect for myself, my family, my friends and the people whom I work with in my chosen profession.
God, He knew just what I needed. A wake-up call. One that would open my heart, open my mind, and open my soul to a whole new world. A new reality.
If you have never experienced this transformation or awakening, whatever one wishes to call it, describing the experience is not always easy as it is something my body, my mind, passage of time, memories, many things one goes through. Everything is felt on such a personal level. Understanding, learning about letting go of the old version of self and accepting, welcoming that of the new.
There are some who will do their best to listen and understand. Then, there are those people who are strategically placed on my path in life. Those who guide me, who help me to understand, appreciate all that I have experienced and went through, going on, moving forward, the journey that lies ahead.
I don’t know what the plan is before me. At times, this causes feelings of anxiety. When I do, I think, I call out and pray for I trust He will help show me the way. He is my co-pilot, my captain. Together, we will travel to many beautiful places.
