The Gift of Choice

Blooms and ThornsLeave a comment

“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

When we dare to live fully…right where we are…we enter the moment with the weight of all of our attention….

Reflection of such is the birthplace of discernment…a most insightful, awakened place that empowers you to realize…..we choose the skin our stories are held together with… the skin we will eventually grow through and shed…over and over again…

awakening is like that..it evolves as you choose to grow…

Awakening is not just an event….it is nature’s way to carry us through the eternity of time…you can choose to create a rhythm with the process and entertain new steps..new views…in an elevated acceptance of the responsibility required for forward walking….

As we let the Light bend the moments…..we can see the pattern of Gods’ Hands…everywhere….

“Awakening is the greatest acceptance of nature.”

Fruitfull Miracles

“I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine.”
― Emily Dickinson

For the Word of God is living and active……Hebrews 4:12

Every word spoken…is a prophesy of that which we are creating…

each word carries within it….an echo of your essense ….

How can the word love and the word life even fit in the mouth…..

“Words aren’t made — they grow”

“Jesus promised his disciples three things—that they would be completely fearless, absurdly happy, and in constant trouble.”

― William Barclay, The Gospel of Luke 

From the beginning, Jesus told the disciples that He would make them into something different

Practice this knowing….

We are IN Gods plan…. in all moments….

BECOMING..is brutal….

God is consistant..constant..and never changing…..LOVE

choosing Love..is Gods expectation of us…in all ways….in all moments….to enter an unconditional Joy….of Spirit….

Love is not the easy road..not the smooth path..and is not conditional….is never a “sometime” type of expression….Nevertheless…..Grace is given….to not only endure it..but also..to expose it through all our works…and both require dilegent practice…

to activate this Light….one must be prepared to accept the horrible relief of Believing… with ALL your Heart..ALL your Soul..ALL your mind…in Gods Plans..In Gods Love….and your Worth in it ALL….

“Your call will become clear as as your mind is transformed by the reading of Scripture and the internal work of God’s Spirit. The Lord never hides His will from us. In time, as you obey the call first to follow, your destiny will unfold before you. The difficulty will lie in keeping other concerns from diverting your attention.”
― Swindoll Charles R.



The Gravity Of Transformation

Blooms and ThornsLeave a comment

Truth is not conceptual. We can never understand or realize it through concepts and ideas. Truth is not to be understood. Rather, it is meant to be experienced, tasted, like nectar. There is nothing to understand about nectar. One must taste it, drink it, and experience it. The truth is like that. It is to be experienced and realized, not speculated about.”
― Anam Thubten, No Self No Problem: Awakening to Our True Nature

Transformation….keeping your eyes open to see stardust…..

This is where pain becomes emptiness….it is where the ultimate unconditional acceptance occurs…

This is the “giving” of God….the room for goodness and gladness to dwell and BLOOM into a new thing…

We come into it…in hindsight…..in the completed….unconditional…. letting go…

As we gaze into the Eternal….we recognize factors ….that were not present where we stood before….

God is moving us from the Good..to the Best….

Remain in the purest form of peace and kindness…faith and hope..and above all else..LOVE…

For these are the true elements that navigate well….the gravity of transformation…

“Might we kneel before God every day so that the transformation never stops, but the wounding does.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

Because It Matters

Blooms and ThornsLeave a comment

“At any point God can change his plans for your life when he decides your life purpose needs to be protected.”
― Shannon L. Alder

Even Shakespeare wasn’t as tragic as 2020..

While embracing the elongated stillness in my corner of the world… sight was increasing…Spirit became more vocal…….I practiced listening for God first in everything….EVERYTHING…

because it mattered harder than ever before…..

I held on to hope and quoted scriptures like mantras all day long….* still do*

as my old life….flew away…and my future plans suddenly disappeared….my unquenchable need for things to be different…..stopped…my thirst was satisfied right where I was..and as I felt around my edges..I noticed I had let go….

At the very beginning of 2020……I asked God to help me grow…and it started raining…..

On the Rising … 2021

“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”… Jeremiah 33:3

When we intentionally praise God …..and offer thanksgiving to Him during a difficult time, our praise becomes our testimony.

It shifts our focus away from our problems and moves us to meditate on the nature and character of God Himself.

Intentional Praise reveals a FAITH that believes IN GOD’S GOODNESS above any sorrows we may face….

We see now..how we began seeding our path….leading us to face many completions….

Into each crevice of misery…we planted a promise of Hope…

We became more flexible and agile in the energy of the not knowing…

The strength was born from the gentleness of the flow we created..

Where you invest your Love….you invest your Life…..

“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.”
― T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets

Thank you to all that visit the Garden..

It is my honor to share Gods Beauty..in the bloomings and in the thorns of life…it is with a grateful heart ….that I seed this garden.

May you dare to create an amazing adventure in this New Era of your Life…

May God Bless You….

Happy New Beginnings..Happy New Age..in this New Year ….

Namaste’

As the Crow Flies

“Truth is not fully explosive, but purely electric. You don’t blow the world up with the truth; you shock it into motion.” 
― Criss Jami, Healology

This is what the year 2020 has done for us…..

We were brought to living our awakened state of Self..magnified….

Beyond the learning..we put this energy into motion….

The entire experience was a “course correction” in a disappearing timeline…..

Welcome to the other side of awakening…..

Its not too far to the good stuff…As the crow flies….

“You have to understand, my dears, that the shortest distance between truth and a human being is a story.” – Anthony de Mello

Following Light

“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.”

-Norman Maclean

We each found our own way …while being steered by some secret compass of the soul…..

We became inflamed with a deepened longing…for new discovery…..

As we walked from the wilderness….our inner guidance became more audible…

This was us..learning to listen….to the Sound of our Light

Like a river….the eternal makes us urgent

We finished the falling and landed in a New Age…

transformed..and fearless….we made a spark…. and lit up a brand-new beginning….

In this world you’ve a soul for a compass
And a heart for a pair of wings
There’s a star on the far horizon
Rising bright in an azure sky
For the rest of the time that you’re given
Why walk when you can fly?

Mary Chapin Carpenter

Wishing all dear fellow travelers….a heartfelt Christmas Blessing….

The Last Person That Mattered

Time-lapse rose blooming

“A rose does not answer its enemies with words, but with beauty.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

It is in revelations through hindsight..one rises from the fog of the awakening….where one sees through the heaviness of time..and the veils lift…Its the stuff of miracles and immense Faith…indeed….from fire to ashes to being placed on the potters wheel and becoming new..its all on Gods timing..one must simply be willing to Trust and Believe

When you have come through a lifetime of abuse and become an adult in it…and keep trying to become better so “they” will love you…one day..you will awaken..and it is the beginning of what will be the most horrible relief…

When you realize..you were always the last person that mattered…something shifts within you and what this is..is opening the door for God to establish his works within you.

It is at this very moment..in a wink of an eye..that you know you have stepped into the acceptance of being healed..and being Loved….and it all comes from within…it is indeed a fire one must walk all the way through…

This is not the end of that journey..it is the end of THAT long ago beginning….

God is doing a new thing through you..oh..its not new to Him….but for the last person that mattered..it is EVERYTHING….this courage that scares you to your bones…brings one to a healing that “surpasses all understanding”……if one stays the course…

Miracles are real…

—Jesus says, “Lazarus discovered I don’t wear a wristwatch.”..Prophetic Sight Bill Yount

The seed does indeed come to bear fruit…as it dares to reveal its true nature..by rising….

Thankful Giving

“Those blessings are sweetest that are won with prayer and worn with thanks.”
― Thomas Goodwin

May you notice sacred moments and give Thanks for all that is in your world..for all you have and all you have let go of….

God is still working in your life..you have a new story unfolding…

It is in the waiting..that trust builds momentum toward Gods plans for you……

Scripture says..Be Thankful IN everything..It does not say Be thankful for everything..

In the uncertainty of this timeline we live within..keep the heart opened and let Peace be the frequency you dwell within…speak Peace into all steps of your Living…into all thoughts before manifesting them…

Peace this deep is found in the unshakable trust we Give to God…..strength is that which He gladly gives us through this trust….

PSALM 34:4 I sought the Lord and He answered me… He delivered me from all my fears

“Waiting on God requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within oneself the unanswered question, lifting the heart to God about it whenever it intrudes upon one’s thoughts.”
― Elizabeth Elliot
