Where to begin today… Incredibly beauty experience this morning. My year and half journey in TN has brought me to here… Peaceful, serene and Loving Kindness towards myself and others. My heart is open again and I can see the beauty of all those around me. The beauty in the souls of strangers, and people I know, the beauty in the world around me. The realized today one of my lessons on this journey is that I personally had to break down the walls, boundaries, the layers of what the world and others says is expectable… what to believe and how to believe… I had to break out of the box of conformity, I had to unravel the fabric, peel apart the layers to see the truth again. A truth that I was born with that is deeply engrained in my DNA, that my soul already knows and has never forgotten. Let me say when we live in opposition of our soul it hurts us, it holds up back and it stops us from feeling connected to the one who created us.
This morning I took a little walk into a church that I knew not a soul. I was greeted as I walked in, This is what is different… A) the young people where gathered, laughing, talking and enjoying being together.. They were hanging out in the front of the church and were dressed very nicely. B) Random people of the church came up to introduce themselves to me, including the PASTOR.. go imagine and the choir director, IMAGINE… I felt very welcomed into their place of worship… Families sat together.. Husbands WORSHIPPED.. Men prayed.. C) The pastor… PREACHED.. I haven’t been in any church in the last decade where the preacher PREACHED.. Where he became overcome with the spirit. I could feel the presence of the holy spirit in that place.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING IN THE ENTIRE WORLD IS TO SEE MEN ON THEIR KNEES PRAYING, HANDS HELD HIGH WORSHIPPING AND HOLDING THE SHOULDERS OF OTHER MEN AND PRAYING OVER THEM AND WITH THEM.
I was blessed to be in the presence of the Lord today! I was blessed to be touched by his words and to know without a doubt that my journey is taking me on a the path to him not away from him.. No matter where the twists, turns and hills take me. My compass is set correctly.
