January 6, 2025
As I have reflected on last year, I realized that
my intense external chaos bled into my internal state of being. I ended up
being in my head, not in my body or heart. Like a whirling dervish, instead of
both feet flying around through the chaos of life, we need to keep one foot
solidly stable and grounded as we navigate through life.
As we embark on the new year, today’s pause will
be about reflecting on what has consumed our minds (worry and problem-solving)
and be present. We will let go of needing approval from the world and
remember how God has shown up in our lives and loved us, even through the most
difficult of circumstances.And we will trust the process of our lives
and experience peace.
Listening portion by Eckhart Tolle: “You find
peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who
you are at the deepest level.”
