INVITE THE UNKNOWN...WITH FAITH

Now my lesson is not to do that which I fear just to prove I can; it is to do what my inner Self calls me to do...because I can.

Big reveal...when we are living the lessons we have learned, we are in the rightful position of making a misstep, or, to the reasoning mind, of getting it wrong again. When our needs and our wants meld, surrender becomes acceptance, and getting it wrong births getting it right. The egoic "should" dies and is reborn as faith.

I have needed to do my shoulds daily, and the majority (that's at minimum 51%)  of the time I have. I have held my nose and taken a leap of faith more than a few times, and the best results often started out looking wrong all over. 

We do "should" no more. Now we are free to do as we are called to do. Here is where self's freewill reigns...and our still more spiritual growth holds the power.

In yesterday's mustard seed BFO it was revealed that, without plot or plan, thought now comes from outside the lines...power lies in faith, outside the limits of reason. We are comforted in unproven knowing...in unknowing, or living by faith. 

As so often is the case, the "Daily Meditation" of Fr Richard is on point today: We have an opportunity in this moment of our great transformation. We can approach this time as survivors, desperately clinging to our structures and ways of being. Or, we can see ourselves as pioneers, setting out in the face of the unknown to discover new ways to live faith-filled lives.

My actual life-experiences this past year are just that: Me setting out in the face of the unknown to discover new ways to live a faith-filled life.

Often this year I have felt like a rank newcomer, and of necessity I have shared my outside-the-lines experiences without fear or embarrassment...or maybe a tish. The getting-over-myself miracle is I have shared as a newbie shares...without my reasoning mind knowing what words are coming next, but, just as back then, share I must or die I will was my unreasoned guide.

God loves and laughs. Let's, too!

Thank you.
