Rainy Day Thoughts

Today, my thoughts are turning to a wonderful discovery I've made recently. Specifically, I have learned, finally, that whenever I need comfort, love, or reassurance all I have to do is turn my will off and invite God's in----so that my mind and heart are no longer focused on selfish things and are, instead, focused on accepting God's love and intent for myself.

Turning one's will over to God is not easy. I am not proud that it has taken 64 years to get to this spiritual awakening, but I am and will be eternally grateful that I have. For more information on how I have come to this conclusion please go to: http://evolvingelder.wordpress.com/2014/01/10/finding-solace/
