In these days my energy level has been low and therefore I have been very selective how I utilize my energy.  Presently recovering from a heal spur, very painful especially when you need to be on your feet daily visiting different nursing homes.  I'm also teaching Soul Care (chaplaincy courses) and teaching to a group of twenty can be a bit draining especially after work...:)  All to say is that I truly enjoy what I'm doing but realize my body physically can't take the same stress or work load as in my younger days..:)  So I choose  to steal moments to rest and especially those power naps that can be very energizing..:)  I realize that on my present journey I am focused on following the path that I know God wants me to follow.  Many can tell you what direction to go but how wonderful it is to have a relationship with God, who guides you even when there are many paths to choose from.  This is not to ignore that discernment is key and listening to within is so  important.  This year I have to admit that I have the courage to follow the path for me..:)  Blessings to all...with lots of love.

Today I reflect on the resurrection and I'm encouraged on the importance in listening closely to my soul.  My soul has thirst for the divine, I'm present daily unto the mystical presence of my Lord, I surrender who I am to the ultmost, and realize that my life is in the creator's tender hands.  Oh how rejoicing it is to know that I'm never alone, and that the gentle God is always with me..:) 

“Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.”
