I follow a gent named Lee Harris on YouTube and I am a part of his subscription Portal Community. One of the things he encourages is for us to do daily check ins with our Soul self by asking in our journalling the following question:
What does my soul want to tell me today?
You are a good woman. You are a good daughter. You care about your mom and other people who you love dearly. You want what is best for them and you believe would be living an easy life.
Did you get your biggest and best lessons from ease in your life? Did your growth come from the gently flowing days, or did your soul prosper in the storms?
Where did you find your strength? How did you discover you could overcome adversity? Where did you learn that you are wiser, kinder, more patient and resilient than you firmly believed you could be?
In the storm.
Others need to weather their own storms. They need to captain their ships through, using their intuition and inner guidance to find their own way to safer shores.
Take comfort in knowing that the destination was worth the journey for you, as it will be for them.
You found your peace; you do not have to leave it behind to wade knee deep into their turbulence. You can keep your peace with you as you visit them in their stormy season
Pray for them to find a safe harbour. There is no singular map; each destination is unique and carries with it the perfect passage. Each adventurer has a plan they mapped out to see things along the way and you cannot know their plan.
You cannot know the map, nor guide them to a safe harbour; your job is to help them find their tools, help them find their own inner captain. and follow their own God-given guidance system.
You already know that your own way, your own path only suits your journey. You can share the tales of the troubles you have overcome; what the destination feels like from the other side of the storm. It may look different for many, but it will feel similar in its peace.
You cannot hop on board and pilot through the storm for them, no matter how much you care. If you could see from the vantage point of the soul, nor would you want to, for you would not wish to take the reward away from them.
That is love; to allow others their lessons in their own time, done in their own way.
I want to take away my Mom’s pain; the emotional pain of childhood memories, the physical pain of a body losing its mobility, and the mental anguish of not knowing what her future holds. It is not mine to remove. It is mine to hold her hand and soothe her heart with my unconditional love. It is time that I remove the conditions… so I have.
I’m sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
She will receive her surgery at 11:15 today. If you have extra prayers, please send them for her to have peace; see her healed and whole, whatever and wherever that is for her. Thank you.
Good to hear. I hope you can rest as well!
Just seeing this now. I hope that the surgery went well. And I love what you've written here. 💕
