“ALL Alone” Blog #54
I remember I was driving very fast. I had to get home and that’s all that mattered.
It didn’t matter that it was a snowy slippery, VERY dark night yet, I was driving way too
fast. As I came around the corner, I did not see the roads sharp turn once again.
I braked but it was too late, I hit two trees head on. Later, they told me my car was
accordianed and no one understood how I was flung from the car and miraculously
saved that night. Obviously, it was not my time to go. The next thing I remember was
laying in the hospital hearing the doctor say I had a 50/50 chance of survival. However,
through all of this, something inside me told me “You are not alone”. I definitely believed
in prayer not to give up, throw in the towel or stop living.
The car accident I speak of happened over fifty years ago, but I am tuned into one
specific fact, convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt, I am never alone. I believe
none of us, are ever left alone.
As I laid in my hospital bed hurting in places I didn’t even know I could hurt, I just
remember how something came over me, quieting me. There was an inner voice
a providence of peace stronger that any force I had ever felt. I will never forget it.
I sensed a pull or a push as if spurning me onward and telling me to not give up.
I see now, a miracle takes place when one lets go and brings in Power of Prayer.
Over the years, have seen Miracles at work in my own life. People can change in a
breath.
Events take place that were never thought to be. At times, I used to think when I was
young, the universe heard me say this and yelled back; “Okay, here comes some more
heartache”. And so went my life.
Yet, all through my life when I resorted to “lower self thinking and actions”, I just
experienced more heartache. Yet, the peaks and valleys combine to make us much
stronger. My own trials and tribulations have made me kinder, more compassionate.
My own tears of suffering have shown how others suffer too, this makes me feel less
judgmental every day. In the real world, losing a loved one is permanent. Then making
that choice to go on, one reflects where in the world does indescribable inner strength
come from? No one person can feel another persons pain, recognize their suffering,
sense their loss, unless each of us can authentically choose to say “there but for the
grace of God…..go I”.
I remember one day I was so mad at a friend for monopolizing our conversation and
just talking about herself. Then just when I was ready to tell her off, she called and told
me about a serious health issue she was now dealing with. How quickly the tables turn.
What is important in our relationships each day? I understand there are times when it’s
important to clear ones head, take a walk, and THEN pray for discernment. (to choose
wisely)
However, in desperation, in solitude and misery one can slide quickly out of “choice and
get stuck in “desperation mode” This is DECIDED DARKNESS.
There is only one healthy choice, move out of this lower self thinking. ASK for Devine help
and PRAY to invite the Holy Spirit in! Simply say, “Thank you for helping me NOW Lord”.
Now we are open and the light of Christ pours into our inner sanctum….into our heart
and soul and mind. It is here and now that desperation is quickly replaced with:
discernment. ……. detachment……… discipline.
Discernment now allows choice to make the right decision for “self.” Detachment
separates the “lower self” in darkness pushing thru, up into “higher self”. Discipline
showing how to stay on track, NOT SLIP BACK INTO DARKNESS. WHY am I so set on talking
about “Lower Self “versus the “Higher Self?” Because There is a fight going on day and
night between these two natures! The lower self nature is filled with “I am all alone!!”
“Poor me!”, “look what I’m going through!”…..obsessing, analyzing and magnifying
personal problems constantly. STOP saying “no one understands what I am going thru”.
This is a false belief. Try this new way for instant, powerful results.
Where is the “Higher Self” in all of this? Right inside each one of us.
Waiting……. waiting….
Patiently waiting with Jesus right there. Waiting for us to make this HIGHER choice. HE is
ready to hold our hand and let me and you feel we are NEVER alone. Higher Self thinking
keeps “depression” at bay! You are powerful internally by feeling HIS hand in yours.
Did you know your light (once it is eternally lit) will never go out? Billions of people DO
BELIEVE ….. they DO believe there is a God. From the day we arrive on this earth, we are
given a Guardian Angel. Do you want to know your own Guardian Angel’s name? At
night just before you go to sleep, close your eyes and simply ask. Ask the name of your
Guardian Angel and suddenly a name will pop into your head! Now we feel we are
watched over. Feeling all this unseen help is comforting. Every one of us can now grow
stronger, be better, feel braver in this knowledge.
I share a small true story which I hope empowers you even more. Years ago during
WWII there was a young fighter pilot who was with the Royal Canadian Air Force. John
loved flying more than anything else and was stationed outside of London. In the
middle of a raging war while John was in London, he decided to write a poem about his
flying experiences. He sent a copy of this poem he wrote to his family back home. Just
three months after he sent the poem, he was tragically killed in a mid air collision
training accident.
John Gillespie was only nineteen years old. Here is the poem he wrote:
“HIGH FLIGHT”
By John Gillespie
“OH ! I HAVE SLIPPED THE SURLY BONDS OF EARTH AND DANCED THE SKIES
ON LAUGHTER-SILVERED WINGS,
SUNWARD I’VE CLIMBED, AND JOINED THE TUMBLING MIRTH OF SUN-SPLIT CLOUDS
AND DONE A HUNDRED THINGS YOU HAVE NOT DREAMED OF—
WHEELED AND SOARED AND SWUNG
HIGH IN THE SUNLIT SILENCE. HOVERING THERE, I’VE CHASED THE SHOUTING WIND ALONG,
AND FLUNG MY EAGER CRAFT THROUGH FOOTLESS HALLS OF AIR
UP, UP THE LONG, DELIRIOUS BURNING BLUE
I’VE TOPPED THE WIND-SWEPT HEIGHTS WITH EASY GRACE
WHERE NEVER LARK NOR EVER EAGLE FLEW -
AND WHILE WITH SILENT LIFTING MIND I’VE TROD
THE HIGH UNTRESSPASSED SANCTITY OF SPACE,
PUT OUT MY HAND,
AND TOUCHED THE FACE OF GOD.'
“Can you believe you are never alone?”
