Mood: Content.

I am so thankful for the way God works. I really am.

Ups and downs... peaks and valleys...

I feel like I am learning so much... maybe I need to learn to go to sleep earlier.



Anyhow, I have had good reasons
in the last week to laugh and cry.
I have chosen to take full advantage
of both. Through it all, I really want
to thank God for the blessing of His
presence in my life. It has been
seriously difficult, even as much as
it is helping be, after all we grow
from our tests and difficulties, right?
Thank you to all my friends too...
You mean so much to me. So much.

Also, my Mom is great too, really really great!

Wow, what a ride...

I have been on a veritable roLLER Coaster of emotion for the past week or so...

Never
easy when someone very close
to you needs time away. In this case
it made perfect sense...



But that didn't make it easy.



None the less, prayer
and good people really
made it possible-
ultimately God.



I also am having a wonderful time exploring my authentic me. I had a great conversation with Laura Harley tonight after Feast that really helped me to see this- shout out to Laura for her love and support!



The most authentic, whole, empty, yet full at
the same time insides that make me who I
truly am in the eyes of God. I love that person.
Sometimes it is hard to remember and to stay
conscious of the beauty we are given. It is
within us. So deep.



Cindy complemented me a while back on my ability to remember that the answers we are most commonly seeking are inside us. I want to say that was nearly the greatest complement I have ever been given, if not the greatest. Of course this takes our remembering that deep inside us is only Light- the source of all that is and all that ever will be...



We are all a part of that light.



That is to be Blessed.

Do they EVEN know...

Do they even know that they are the ones who inspire me? Do they know that their actions are a huge part of the impetus for my progressions through actions?

Could you imagine living 160 years later than a manifestation of God and finding out you are related by blood to the first few believers in His Cause?

Now peep this, on a much deeper level what if you were to understand through the writings of the core of your faith that you were a direct SPIRITUAL decedent of courage gifted souls, souls who's very breaths were breathed that they may speak to another about the Greatness of the Day in which they live, ones who would overcome the most weighty of obstacles and torturing that their Beloved Cause may see another day, the ones who had the complete and total honor of being called 'Dawnbreakers'!?! Because if "reality" is actually very much spiritual and not physical, wouldn't a "spiritual dependence" be far more deep, far more impressive, far more part of your soul and what makes up who you REALLY are?

Well, yeah, that happened.

And you are what makes up the world around me. The closest people to me in my life. My dearest friends. I see you act, I see you move, I see you change for the better, I witness you being Spiritual Decendents of those amazing Dawnbreakers, and it touches me. It not only touches me but is, as I said before, part of the impetus for positive change and movement in my life. What more inspiration do I need than you? Why would I ask for any more? You don't know that I look up to you, perhaps because I haven't cared to give anyone that burden, but I say it here cause I feel you should know.

Your collective attributes resembles what some call God. I see beauty in your individual dedications to whatever it is that you dedicate yourself, your time and your lives too. I have been told that sometimes when I am this straight forward with people, even close friends, that it can make people shy away, that maybe it is TOO sincere. Thus I write this on my blog. You can skim over it, know I am talking about you, and leave it at that, or you can comment about this, or give me a call. Doesn't matter to me in the slightest, I just wanted you all to know this about how I feel for you.

MUCH love my BeLOVEd Friends!
