It's Time to Wake Up

The love of God fills you everyday.

When I started this blog, I had dreams of telling everyone about how my quest for spirituality had changed my life. Then fear set in. Fear that people make fun of me, argue with me, and just "not get it." Then I realized that's what fear does. It keeps you from moving forward in your life. It keeps you from shouting from the rooftops about how free spirituality can make you feel. What I've decided is that I can't hold back. I have to come clean.

So here's the truth—I am a spiritual person. I believe in God, but not necessarily religion. I believe God is love. And the way to get to God is through love. I believe our souls are always connected to God, but our ego prevents us from hearing Him and feeling Him. I believe that many religious people think they have all the answers, but aren't even close to what God truly is or how to bring Him into their lives. For example, if you go to church every Sunday, but are still bothered by how someone else chooses to find God in his or life, you may need to get yourself a Red Letter version of the Bible and read all of the "And Jesus said unto them" parts out loud to yourself. No, it is not my place to judge you. And it is certainly not your place to judge me. But I digress.

What I have found that rings true for me is that my soul has been screaming to be heard, and I can't keep ignoring it. Eckhart Tolle said we must start living in the present. I have been guilty of living in the past and future almost everyday. It's rare that I live for right now. I'm changing that.

I learned that my life is my perception. It's what I make of it. I have to shake myself awake.

There's so much that I have get myself organized to really tell you how far I've come in my own journey. This is just the beginning.
