I touched on this subject a few weeks back and I guess today is the day to revisit this topic.

From the minute that we are conceived we begin to rely on our first human being our moms. Our futures are in their hands. They hold our lives in their hands.

We then rely on our moms and dads and their families if necessary to help to protect us ,raise us and help to gives us the guidance and support to find out who we are in so many ways.

We rely on our teachers, houses of worship, our friends and those that God brings our way to teach us valuable life lessons. There are other individuals in our lives periodically that are not Heaven sent and challenge us in ways that we do not want.

Nobody wants these people in their lives because of the pain and negativity that they create. The truth is as we grow in faith and become more comfortable and confident in who were are in Christ those people cannot rattle your cage.There is a peace that radiates from us and we donnot speak of these people in a derogatory way, we just let it go. So, in essence these people teach us a valuable lesson. They are necessary in our Spiritual growth towards Heaven.

I need thee oh I need thee.

When I was diagnosed with terminal cancer 2 years and 8 months ago, I for the first time learned the meaning of the word rely. I relied on everyone for everything. I could not feed myself, nor did I care to eat. I knew I needed to take meds but was too tired to worry about them. I was fading quickly and just wanted to sleep and just prayed with a very soft voice to God saying , God how am I going to take care of my family ? What am I going to do? As I said before I was too tired and too weak to scream out in despair. But my reliance on God allowed Jesus Christ to answer me with my first profound vision of the boat in Galilee.

God does work in mysterious way but they are wonderful and they work to an amazing end if we submit our destiny to him who created us all. God. 🙂

I have begun to fulfill yet another milestone in my recovery process that I will get into next week. I am very happy for this .
