Don’t let others disrupt your harmony with your spirit . 15 pounds is a lot in a week are you okay? Yes some people are mean and stupid but we shouldn’t let it bring us down Be kind to them just don’t let them take your energy Set boundaries Be as wise as serpents harmless as dove I pray you have inner peace and joy. I will dwell in you. And you in me. And I will walk with my people . -GOD |

Now you begin to climb back up. This thread brings up a couple of poems for me that i will add: first...The Well of Grief by David Whyte THE WELL OF GRIEF Those who will not slip beneath the still surface on the well of grief turning down to its black water to the place that we can not breathe will never know the source from which we drink the secret water cold and clear nor find in the darkness the small gold coins thrown by those who wished for something else ~ David Whyte and Beannacht By John O'Donahue On the day when The weight deadens On your shoulders And you stumble, May the clay dance To balance you. And when your eyes Freeze behind The grey window And the ghost of loss Gets into you, May a flock of colours, Indigo, red, green And azure blue, Come to awaken in you A meadow of delight. When the canvas frays In the currach of thought And a stain of ocean Blackens beneath you, May there come across the waters A path of yellow moonlight To bring you safely home. May the nourishment of the earth be yours, May the clarity of light be yours, May the fluency of the ocean be yours, May the protection of the ancestors be yours. And so may a slow Wind work these words Of love around you, An invisible cloak To mind your life. |

Now you begin to climb back up. By being brought low, I believe, even when it’s the enemy trying to destroy us, we still learn. Quoting: Seekingtruthandhonor We see how we don’t want the veiled world consuming us. We see how the world is full of false spiritual strongholds, and all kinds of wickedness. We see we want nothing to do with the world and it’s vanity and greed. We see how we are set apart. We see the traps and snares all around us. We are aware of the satanists in the world. We observe their slight of hand and hidden talk. We go by faith. We know God is real. We see what’s holding us back, and correct it. Jesus forgave error. Just do your best and try to love others. I know sometimes we can be so empty spiritually we don’t want to talk to anyone. God I believe understands this. So if you are feeling low and alone and don’t want to talk to anyone. That might be a great time to talk to God. But I also understand if you are on empty you might not even want to talk to God. And once again I believe God understands this. Just be kind to yourself. It might be hard to get back up, And trust me I have been so down I didn’t even care to get up. But once I did get up, this is what it showed me: By getting up, I realized, What’s in me is stronger than what’s in the world. I’m loved. God wants me to see what I can do with my beliefs , and the brain he gave me. Not just have him do everything . But I always tell God you choose this or that and he’s always like, you choose. (Or he says look at scripture) By getting up, We stand with God. By getting up, We show the world we won’t be defeated. By getting up, We learn about trust and purpose in our lives as we climb upward. By getting up, We see we are Peace Makers, the Sons of God (Jesus said this) By getting up, We can endure until the end and receive the crown of life (Jesus said this) By getting up, We can overcome the false world. Jesus said be of good cheer I have overcome the world . So don’t give up your walk with God. Don’t give up your hope. Guard your hope. Guard your love. You are sacred. You are loved. You are amazingly made. God knew you before the womb. You are so wonderful. Don’t let doubt and shame take control over your mind. You are growing in Jesus Christ. There is no shame in Jesus. We are walking in the valley of the shadows of course they will try everything to take us away from God. But as Apostle Paul says nothing will separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. WWG1WGA! Never Give Up! For you are already victorious. |

Now you begin to climb back up. and here is a Persian tale about Jesus that seems to fit the vibe of the thread: The People Who Attain Imam el-Ghazali relates a tradition from the life of Isa, ibn Maryyam. Isa(Jesus) one day saw some people sitting miserably on a wall, by the roadside. He asked: "What is your affliction"? They said: "We have become like this through our fear of hell". He went on his way, and saw a number of people grouped disconsolately in various postures by the wayside. He said: "What is your affliction"? They said: "Desire for paradise has made us like this". He went on his way, until he came to a third group of people. They looked like people who had endured much, but their faces shone with joy. Isa asked them: "What has made you like this"? They answered: "The Spirit of Truth. We have seen Reality, and this has made us oblivious of lesser goals." Isa said: "These are the people who attain. On the day of Accounting these are they who will be in the Presence of God". |

The doctors are not being very clear about things but we believe since they are not rushing him to radiation today that hopefully nothing has spread. If things go as plan he’s meeting about radiation Thursday or Friday. I will keep you updated when I know more. Thank you. I will dwell in you. And you in me. And I will walk with my people . -GOD |
