You know, something I have learned lately is that the little bitty nuggets are where the gold is. Things that someone flippantly says under their breath… the butterfly that keeps landing on you… the nuggets of truth that someone keeps trying to share with you but you aren’t getting it… the things that are deep and you have to dig a little for.
What I’ve been noticing about me is that if I’m chasing too many other things, I miss the still, small voice that was put inside me to listen to. That inner voice that is telling me the secret path I am supposed to walk on. The path that is only mine that no other human can understand. I am very careful to help people, but let them be on their own path, I don’t want to be leading people away through control or manipulation.
Isn’t that the truth? Normal is status quo to me, and by following my own path it keeps me from being status quo. I have stuck my head out of the box enough that I know I can’t stick my head back in and stay there! I hope you stick your head out of the box too!💜 That’s where the creativity is and that’s where your voice is. That’s where you find your power…a power greater than you! That’s one of the 12 steps of recovery…it’s number 2….”Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.”
Insanity to me is being in a box, it is not being and feeling free to be who you are, doing what you are meant to be doing! It’s not being able to grab onto the gold and run with it!! What I love about recovery is that we get to love all of the people… I’ve always loved all of the people so I didn’t fit in the box!! I can love atheists, I can love Muslims, I can love gays, I can love everyone!! I like that freedom!! I think God is like that!! I think He doesn’t condemn, I think He loves!!
His love is so great that it heals!! It heals judgements that people have made about you, it’s heals lies that you have thought about yourself, it crosses every boundary and jumps over every wall to make you feel special!! It never fails!!
He’s still working on me!!
Stick your head out you won’t be sorry!!
His love never fails!!
You have a special gift and voice no one else has!!
You were created for a special purpose!!
Don’t give up!!
See you soon!!❤️😍
Well said Jill! Living inside the box can suck the life right out of a person! Thank you for the reminder :).
Last night I had a dream I was picking up little nuggets of gold off of the ground. I was with someone else but the had passed them up. They had failed to see them. As I bent down to pick one up, I could see another & another & another. I had forgot about dreaming this until I began reading your blog, then it came to me. Thanks 🙏🏼
I also wanted to add to my previous comment on the Dream I was talking about. I forgot to add that I was at a playground in the park where I found the gold nuggets by the slide.
😊
YES!!! So wonderfully said!!
