A Life Giving Moment: Y.O.U. First! And This Too Will End Series Pt. 4

A few weeks ago, I participated in a bible study session and someone posed this question: “What is the most difficult thing for you to release?” A range of answers filled the sanctuary.  I did not offer my answer but within me I heard loudly, “The most difficult thing for me to release is always me!” I am sure I am not the only one who finds it easy to accept and even cultivate the greatness budding within others while struggling to articulate and actualize your own life vision.

Sojourner, it is time to stop being slow and double minded when it comes to you. Step out in excitement about you and your goals as you do for everyone else. In fact, I challenge you to join me each morning by starting with you first! I invest energy, time, and resources into a lot of people. In 2014 and beyond, I am honoring myself (mind, body, and Spirit) every morning before my thoughts turn to loving and assisting other embodied Souls.

This prayer is guiding me and I hope it leaps within you:

“Life Giving Spirit, please help me to release who I was on yesterday so that I can embrace who I am becoming right now at this very moment. Help me to release who I became as a result of trauma and disappointments so that I can emerge each day as a Newly Born Promise—withholding nothing...”
