“Difficult in denial” Blog #14

Why is it always easiest to keep doing what is familiar? We do not know anything else.

I believe that we fall into patterns of what is most comfortable. It is truly

difficult to do something out of the norm. Finding time to change an old

pattern of belief. Finding time to apologize to someone that hurt us in our

family. Finding time to tell ourself: “today is the day I find a new spiritual,

positive, growth plan. How are we denying HE exists?

Do you remember when new ideas were fresh, exciting and fun? Do you

remember when you were open to the universe for HIS light that is always there

to guide you? Do you remember if and when you took a turn that was purely

secular in dimension? Do you deny that HIS love is truly waiting for YOU?

Where am I even going with this?

One day, quite a few years back, I was meeting with my spiritual advisor who I felt had

finally been helping to a great degree. What he did not know was that I was telling him

I was prayerful and I was telling him I believed in Gods LIGHT. However, I deliberately

was keeping HIS light at bay. I was having my own inner dialogue with my own higher

self and depending on my bargaining tools, I was waiting…. waiting to see what would

happen. I rationalized, IF something happened miraculously, I might believe when HE

was ready to show me differently - I would perhaps be willing to meditate, but

definitely not consider prayer. IF I saw certain things happen in my life, I might want to

look at HIS truths. Maybe I would bring the Lord into my life, later, it all depends, I

thought.

Trust me, there is NO conditional relationship with the Lord.

This is not the way life goes.

Just when YOU think you have your life together, watch out! Everything worth doing in

life, brings difficulty along with it. It’s difficult just believing. It’s difficult having faith in

the unknown. Yet, it is essential. If you stay stuck in your own reality and your own

‘truths”, you can’t help but believe in the LIE.

There is only HIS LIGHT to transform all the darkness.

I remember my spiritual advisor asking me how I planned to guide my

two children who were six and three at the time. I knew before I realized

it, they would be teenagers and growing fast. He asked me this question,

“When your children are faced with secular, provoking peer pressure,

challenging them in their substance intake, sexual behavior and respect

for family, what tools will you have given them”?

“When they see their classmates abuse substances, question their own sexuality,

and show tendencies toward suicide - what tools will you have given them to stay

strong in their own skin”? When their world appears to be caving in around

them, how will you have helped encourage them away from dark forces and

strong in their spiritual self confidence to not stray, but follow our Lord?

I jüst sat there. It was very hard to find any answer. I was wrapped up in myself.

I wondered if he was just too extreme and what was he even talking about?

My real estate profession was everything to me. I felt I was a good mother

yet, as my children grew, when had I ever approached them with stories of

the “Man” they needed to know? How could they have an actual example

of how one person had to face dark challenges without the example of what

HE had truly gone thru? Where would their spiritual courage come from?

Here’s a thought, “our bodies are the temple of God”. True statement.

Yet, I don’t ever remember if I ever talked to my children about this.

All the ways we prepare and plan and set out to live our life,

this can all change in a breath.

I am an exact example of this.

My husband and I had wonderful jobs, we had a big, beautiful home in a lovely

area. We had a boy and a girl. We had our good health. We had happiness,

or so we thought. We had the best life could offer, but did we?

My husband came from a family that was non-religious and I looked at my

own belief system with a 911 or SOS approach to Christianity, it was only when

my own life fell apart, this got my attention.

I had become far too materialistic. Looking back, I see how I could have done

“difficult decisions differently.”

When my own life changed in a breath, everything came tumbling down around me.

I had no spiritual tools. I had no special relationship with HIM.

I was in the frigid ice house with no tools to dig out.

It doesn’t have to be like this. I can testify now with the second tragedy in my life.

As horrific as it was and still is, I am now insulated in the light of HIS truth.

I can close my eyes and see the brightest white light, instantly comfort me.

It is one thing to meditate to learn to become calm. It is quite another realm

to be in and to feel the insulation and the support and the unconditional love from my

Devine Protector. Meditation and Prayer are completely separate. Mediation

may bring you temporary peace, yet prayer brings you into a Devine presence

constantly. You feel safe, you feel secure and you have hope.

When our life feels pushed to the limit - its time to do something different.

As I sat speaking with my spiritual advisor this one day, he asked me to

look at the pencil he was holding. “It’s just like a boat on the water” he said,

The boat has two parts - the front and the back. The pencil has the tip and

the eraser, two ends. If you raise it up, the other end goes down. If you raise

the boat up, the back end sinks down. Then he brought two more pencils

and laid all three on the table. The three pencils took on the shape of a triangle.

“This triangle does not change no matter how you turn it” he said.

Up, down, over and over. it stays the same. The triangle is the strongest force in

the universe. Husband and Wife with God at the top. Nothing can penetrate it.

“Look at the two points of a pencil - one point represents the husband and the

other end represents the wife. This is not very sturdy in a storm. However if you

take the triangle and make each point represent something. One point is the

husband, another point is the wife and the top of the triangle paint is HIS

LIGHT. This point is the Lord. The triangle never changes shape. We are always

protected,. No matter how different or difficult the situation we have to endure.

We have a safe, secure, spiritual white light surrounding us at all times.

When my life changed and fell apart, my husband and I had no tools.

Our marriage fell apart. Our Children had no “safe port” living with both of us.

Our world took on difficult, dark demensions and we brought the children in with us.

You and I are meant to be restored, not crippled by what happens to us.

I can truthfully say, I am so much healthier with all of this knowledge.

If you are open, I will weekly do all I can to help you see that you have a right,

just like I do, to make your own destiny dynamic. HIS light is waiting for you.

I think a lot about the people in my own life that have chosen addiction, and

chemicals and alcohol to hide behind. I believe that everything that feels

broken internally, can be healed in a breath. Reach out, do it differently.

Today is the day we each have before us to make this difficult decision become reality.

We need to do something different and not be in denial. We can decide to discern

the truth. We can decide to tune out the secular world and bring in the the spiritual

world. We can decide to help those around us with real spiritual tools of healing.

The second you honestly decide to do the difficult, angels sweep in, HE sends out

spiritual armies for you, and causes the light to lift from the darkness all around you.

The blinders come off. You and I can see the truth. I invite you today to believe these

statements and I ask you this question:

“Can you let go of your own secular (non-spiritual) beliefs, put your hands together

and ask for HIS help?” Just watch and see what happens.
