In this episode, I share journaling that centers on the idea that connection requires authenticity. Connection with God starts with stillness, but quickly requires vulnerability in order to connect more deeply. We may avoid stillness because we’re afraid of facing what is underneath, but as we discover what is most authentically ourselves we also develop deeper connections with others and a more fulfilling life.

· Live for me and my Kingdom. Follow my Kingdom rules and no one else’s. Do you know the rules of my Kingdom? They are simpler than you think. Seek me first. Seek my will above all others. Seek me and follow me. Yes, seek me and my desires will become your own.
· Connection requires authenticity and authenticity requires space to be you. Be who you are.
· You think I created you for achieving, but this is not the case. I gave you every natural ability that is within you for my greater purposes, not the world’s. The world says success is achievement and power and financial security, but I say it is knowing me and loving my people.
· You cannot love out of exhaustion. You cannot love authentically when you are too much in a hurry.
