Be TRUE!

Hello All! I was chatting with some folks about the statement, "To Thine Own Self be True" And it made me think about what God is asking of me in that statement! What I have learned is being true is not just be honest in my words, thought, actions and emotions; but true to the Spirit of God within. I must be true to his will for me which is shown to me everyday by my attention to his spirit within and the tasks he lies before me that need to be addressed. I just have to say to myself, "Self, what is the correct thing to do here."

Everyday, I wake up and tasks are put before me that I know I must attend to. I must let the dogs out and feed them. I MUST PRAY, I must nourish my body with food and water and nourish my spirit and mind with spiritual readings and teachings. These I do everyday but then there is all the time in the day that is between all those things. I ask myself first, do you feel strong enough to do some tasks in addition to those just mentioned. This is being true to my emotions and strength of body. When the answer is yes, I look at things that need to be done to further what God has led me to do. For instance, today I opened my first business checking account because I received my LLC in the mail. I then went to Walmart because food was needed in the house. Then I met with some folks about spiritual enrichment! Tomorrow I will Go to my Bi-Yearly MS Neurology appointment and then I will seek what is next as I drive home from that appointment. I will ask God what he needs me to do and wait on that still small voice or occasional loud yell! I will look to see how I can further this vision of the book and spreading God's love through the things I am doing like typing this. All of that is being true to the vision God gave me over 2 years ago regarding the book and selling just enough to open an sober living center that is affordable to all! In doing so, I am being true to his will for me as it pertains to this endeavor.

Being true is about honoring all the aspects of humanity God has given me. I must honor my heart, mind, body and spirit in a way that is pleasing to God and that is shown to me everyday as long as I stay focused on him and nothing else. When I am able to do that, he always drops what he wants me to do, smack dab in front of me! When I don't see it, I simply sit and rest in his arms and wait for the next direction. Sometimes being still is honoring God's will for me in a moment that I may need physical rest or to hear him as I rest in silence and block out all the worldly clamors.

Always be on the lookout with an open mind to God in each moment of your day and I promise your days will get easier and easier and better and better!

Thank You and God BLESS you ALL!
