... learning a new way ...

Hey God,

...  aligning what my head knows with what my heart believes is an interesting journey ... sometimes it seems so easy ... and other times I keep holding onto old habits that have etched their way into my skin ... even though I know they aren't good for me ... fear can have such a hold sometimes ... 

... and then I hear your voice saying Love defeats fear ... light eats away at darkness ... and just talk to me about it ...

 ... where would I be without you ... I never want to see what that life would be ... I am going to stick to you like glue ... forever ...

Love ya always

... more Love lessons ...

Dear God, 

... I just got it ... one of my many lessons You are showing me ... about infinite Love and abundance ... 

... my idea of Your Love has been very immature ... I have been struggling with being selfish and keeping you to myself ... an insight into my real self came today ...  one that showed me what my head knows is one thing but what my heart believes is another ... in my head I know that Jesus is about inclusion for everyone but my heart is a hoarder and an excluder  ... I know it sounds silly ... I know your Love is infinite ... I need to feel this in my bones and truly believe it  ... I need to create a new belief system in my head ... 

... out with the old and in with the new ...

Love ya always

... ever present ...

Dear God, 

... I don't remember a time when i didn't know you ... I always felt your presence ... even before I knew your name ...

... but recently I have come to a new understanding of you presence ... you knew me by name before you created the earth ... and how purposeful you are in wanting the very best for me ... 

... I take this all for granted most of the time until my eyes are opened to your great Love ...

... Thanks  ... 

Love ya always

... God's Love ...

Dear God, 

... I am starting to see how competitive and performance driven I am ... such an overwhelming drive keep's me striving ... but I do hear you saying to start focusing on Your love for me ... take the emphasis off my love for you which keeps me in the striving trap ... 

... so I am starting to get the picture ... Your saying it's all about Your Love ... 

  
Thanks again

Love ya always

... train the trainer ...

Howdy God,

... I have been asking for a while to be a better me ... for you to help me grow ... turning 40 has brought with it a sense of growing into You ... a new awareness ... I have been working hard on listening to my God Voice and training my selfish me voice to behave ... I had this confusion between relaxing and watching you move in my life and getting up and doing something myself ... what I found is a mix of both is the name of the game this week ... I have started listening to sermons on my ipod during the day which reinforce Your power and Your desire for my life ... I think all your training is beginning to kick in ... and I have started to believe more about possibilities ... Your momentum is moving ... thank you ...

Love ya always

Teena
