HELLO GOD

[Carol Anne Kincaid~Paradis]

GOOD MORNING ..

Nelson Mandela Quote

“As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I’d still be in 99 prison.” –Nelson Mandela

It’s all in our hands, how we choose to view ourselves, our circumstances and what we choose to do about it. Everybody around us has an opinion to make. Everybody around us has a suggestion to offer. And most often with the best intentions! But if we end up listening to what everybody else has to say, we may forget to do what we are inspired to do, what we are meant to do. In the noise of other’s suggestions and opinions, don’t lose your voice. Take good advice but also learn the art of navigating through that advice to follow your own journey….do due diligence with your head and heart, make an informed decision…don’t let life overwhelm you, you can do this today. you can do the hard things. you can find strength. you can realize purpose. you can….just do one thing one simple step in a new direction. be brave, be bold. breathe….!!!

Me: Hello God.
God: Hello...
Me: I’m falling apart.
Can you put me back together?
God: I'd rather not.
Me: Why?
God: Because you're not a puzzle.
Me: What about all the pieces of my life that fall to the ground?
God: Leave them there for a while. They fell for a reason.
Let them be there for a while and then decide if you need to take any of those pieces back.
Me: You don't understand!
I'm breaking!
God: No, you don't understand. You're transcending, evolving.
What you feel are growing pains. You're getting rid of the things and people in your life that are holding you back.
The pieces are not falling down. The pieces are being put in place.
Relax.
Take a deep breath and let those things you no longer need fall down.
Stop clinging to pieces that are no longer for you.
Let them fall.
Let them go.
Me: Once I start doing that, what will I have left?
God: Only the best pieces of yourself.
Me: I'm afraid to change.
God: I keep telling you: YOU'RE NOT CHANGING!
YOU'RE BECOMING!
Me: Becoming, Who?
God: Becoming who I created you to be! A person of light, love, charity, hope, courage, joy, mercy, grace and compassion.
I made you for so much more than those shallow pieces you decided to adorn yourself with and that you cling to with so much greed and fear.
Let those things fall off you.
I love you!
Don't change!
Become!
Don't change!
Become!
Become who I want you to be, who I created. I'm gonna keep telling you this until you remember.
Me: There goes another piece.
God: Yes. Let it be like this.
Me: So... I'm not broken?
God: No, but you're breaking the darkness, like dawn.
It's a new day.
Become!!
Become who you really are!!"~
