Sometimes life doesn’t seem to make sense at all, especially when you are surrounded by the darkness of the unknown. Most often, the only sense comes through the healing and growth that you choose to experience.
There is a common thread to each painful life challenge. Each experience offers you the opportunity to see the precious gems hidden beneath the pain, to reconnect with God, and to re-awaken to your soul…the true essence of who you are.
Life’s challenges knock at your door. You cover your ears, so you don’t have to hear the persistant knocking, of cancer, of death, of addiction.
You cover your eyes, so you don’t have to see the pain, the struggle of those you love.
You cover your heart, so you don’t have to feel the agony of life slipping away.
And yet, no matter how hard you try to fight…babies die, cancer breathes one’s last breath, addictions colors life in shades of greys and blacks. No matter how hard you fight to not feel, your walls crash down…and you are seen shaking, stripped down, exposed, naked, vulnerable.
The choice is to run for cover…or stand in your moment.
If you run, you run for what seems an eternity, darting from pain, so it won’t ever, ever touch the wound that was never allowed to heal.
