Grounding

"When was the last time you felt the stinging gift in your own eyes, this most natural reminder that you are alive, here, human?

Maybe it’s been a while for you. There’s nothing wrong with that. But the next time the tears rise up to meet you, don’t brush them aside. Greet them, receive them, and listen for the life they bring." 
~Ann Voskamp

A roller coaster year of emotions

bringing me up
letting me fall
affirmation of my human-ness
confirmation of a life full up with love

feeling untangled
becoming unraveled

living

"Every single one of our life-aches, large and small, has a response from a God who put on skin so that we might know His scent and feel His calloused hands and live in a nearness to this beauty that would forever keep us coming back to sit at His feet.

Pain invites us to see. Him."
~Sara Hagerty, author

I see.
I hear.
I feel like never before.
The pain of loss has opened my eyes to an even deeper grounding of my being in the love of Christ.

"I don’t waste anything in your life, including your suffering. I use it to teach you important lessons here and now. But there is more. Your troubles are also accomplishing something in heavenly realms. They are achieving eternal Glory—contributing to the reward you will receive in heaven." 

~Jesus Today by Sarah Young

My devotional book lays open before me on the table.
Eyes drinking in the words.

scents surround me
lifting my spirit
calming my soul

I inhale His goodness
letting it fill my heart

The essential oils ground me.
Define me.
Heal me.

Valor swiped on the back of my neck for strength and courage.
Joy rubbed over my heart for happiness.
Peace & Calming fill the room with tranquility.
Patchouli's earthiness like a warm hug.
Biblical oils.
The original source of healing for
mind
body
spirit.

Sitting in the stillness of His presence
I prepare to face the day.

to hear His voice
to follow His guidance
to live in a nearness to His beauty

hope
purpose
strength

And as I learn to live with loss...
I learn to feel even more the grace of Him.

accepting it
breathing it
filling it
releasing it

Finding my deepest fulfillment of my heart in Him alone.

Breathing Him

Breathing Life

Grounded...
using one of God's healing gifts.
