Perception

talbots — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:12:35 +0000

I can determine my own feelings about any person, place or thing. I further acknowledge that the interpretation I give events, may be more about my personal history, than what is actually going on in front of me. Rokelle Lerner

Where am I?

I've gone to look for myself. If I should return before I get back, keep me here.

Guidance

When I meditated on the word Guidance, I kept seeing “dance” at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God’s will is a lot like dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn’t flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It’s as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other.

My eyes drew back to the work Guidance. When I saw “G”: I thought of God, followed by “U” and “I.”

“God, “U” and “I” dance.”

God, you, and I dance.

As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life.

Experience as our Teacher

Experience is the hardest kind of teacher. It gives you the test first and the lesson afterward.

Sacrifice for Blessings

talbots — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 22:33:58 +0000

The Lord requires sacrifice, meaning…something above and beyond the minimum. The MASTER spoke of the “Second Mile” and told us to go there. WHY? Because he wants to bless us, and….HE put all the blessings in the second mile.

Stay away from false things

talbots — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 14:39:50 +0000

Many teenagers and other individuals often act like MOTHS. They are attracted by bright lights, or fire and/or those things which appear very attractive. Little thought is given that the brightness or fire may harm them. The Moth fly closer and closer to the flame until the fire eventually burns their wings so that they no longer can fly. The Moth then falls to the ground and dies. May we all stay away from the false things of the world that appear to be attractive, but are in reality a facade aimed specifically at destroying our lives.

“What patterns in my life do I continuously repeat because that is where I am most comfortable?
