Praying your way....

....through life isn't passive.

It's acknowledging a love, wisdom, & strength

that exceeds your own.

notes...

Polly was rubbing her face on my journal as I write,

sitting cross-legged in the sunshine that's streaming through the window.

She decided to stay, & rest there for a while.

I listened to to her purr...and took it as a cue to meditate.

It's a special day today

and I wish I could teleport myself somewhere else,

 so I could hug my Dad for his B-day

try as I might....I'll just give him a call.

falling on your knees means you understand a great truth

God works with you right where you are

 in your kinks & quirks along the journey to grow

your not surrendering to the problem-

your surrendering to the one who can defeat it

take all the help you can get

prayer is essential

don't let your well-being depend on your circumstances

the reason a situation bothers you 

is because you feel out of control

you prefer to manage life according to your terms

demonstrate a teachable spirit

be honest about your limitations

feelings

and faults

confront your weaknesses and examine your heart

accountability is a wise check and balance for your life

bring the most authentic version of yourself

to the world today

'Put more energy into trusting Me & enjoying My presence.

Let everyone see who I created in you, rather than

the version your insecurities have manufactured over time.

Show up with humble confidence of My unfinished work in you.

Let go of your fears and allow Me work.

I have a better plan than you can imagine.

Accept that I am in control,

and rest in the knowledge that I am always victorious.

Believe in My faithful Love.'

~Jesus~

I love poetry. I love soul connection.

I love depth. I love rawness."
