"Hectic lives don't permit one to hear the heartbeat of the soul"-Emilie Barnes

We need to take time to listen to our heart, our soul, Spirit, God-to just be one with who we are created to be.  If we don't take time to look within ourselves then how can we do the job we were put here to do?  How can we know if we are on the right path?  How can we learn lessons to help others?  BE SELFISH!! Take time to reflect and LISTEN.  Peace.

"I don't hold to the idea that God causes suffering and crisis. I just know that those things come along and God uses them . We think life should be a nice, clean ascending line. But inevitably something waunders onto the scene and creates havoc with the nice way we've arranged life to fall into place.... Stuff happens."- Sue Monk Kidd

I keep going back to the idea of trust.  We were talking to friends this weekend about why bad stuff happens.  I do believe that God does not make it happen.  Bad happens because God has given us the gift of choice.  Bad happens from Bad choices and that has a rippling effect but because God loves us he tries to turn the bad into a positive life lesson for us.  We can't control life.  Trust comes into play.  It is so hard to come to that cliff and just let go but I believe that is how we will fly- trust that God is with you no matter what.  Peace!
