Living The Mystery
As humans, we want certainty. It’s part of our very nature. Most of us don’t like change but change is necessary for growth. As a result, we lose our sense of mystery. When we lose our sense of mystery, this sucks the very life out of us.

We are called to decrease, allowing Him to increase. I’ve found that there is little I can do to make this happen except to surrender, stay close to Jesus’ scripture and prayer. This is truly what matters in life.

As we ponder another new year, I want to extend an invitation to you to dream a little. To take a few minutes to escape the demands of the world and stoke the fire that lives in your heart.

In the recent season of Advent, I was deep in the waiting. A place where I learned to be comfortable in the darkness and where expectations got shattered so I could live in expectancy. The dark is the place where the struggles of my life are the crosses that I carry, where the burden is heavy and my heart cries out for help. Where I secretly hope someone might ease my burden and help me along the way. But I must remain strong.
Or that’s what I keep telling myself.
The shimmering light calls me forward to resurrection and rebirth. Where I become a modern Mary where my “Yes” deepens with every breath I take. Each inhale expands gratitude and humility. I see with clarity how I’m running the marathon between my head and my heart. A race where generosity and love win with every breath I take.
Lord, thank you for a new generous life where I see clearly each day.

God comes to us in many and various ways each day. Sometimes he reveals his goodness to us when he allows us to succeed in life. Other times he permits trials in our life so that we can cling more surely to Him.

When I am in love with God and “fearing” him above all things, I am rooted in a power that transcends space and time. A power that governs the universe in its entirety, a power that is greater than life and death.
Continue reading “Week 52. Seeing. Supreme Good.”Week 52. Seeing. My Way, My Life.
Merry Christmas! God, as Christ, became human to help us change our mindset and to give us new life. Born humble and in complete surrender this gives us a new way to see, a new way to live life.
