The Whole Truth

So I guess the whole truth is not a partial truth and how would one tell the difference? Let's explore that. It's partially true that I have a nice place to live. The whole truth is that I'm wanting my own place. Like I want it yesterday. I want my own place like a quaterback wants to make the throw that will score his team a touchdown. I want my own place like all the 20 year olds in Hollywood want to be stars. So you guessed it. I really want my own place. So what's stopping me? Those rectangular green paper bills with faces on them, that's what. Oh, and I think my credit sucks too. So far I have found decent places to live, renting nice furnished bedrooms, but it's never the same as when one has their own space. To paint it the color I like, and put out all my belongings like photos, knick-knacks, cushions, etc. So much of what I own is in a box in the garage or closet. I also want to be able to take a nap when I'm tired and not worry about dogs barking or my housemate needing to talk to me.

I have been so incredibly lucky with being able to find places and get the rent paid. This is the miracle that boggles the mind. I had 4 days recently to raise $700 out of nowhere and somehow it all comes together. And the secret is...ta da!! I surrender my life to the Almighty. My God who is large and in charge. I let it go...give it up and over to Him/Her. I'm so blessed to have found that secret and put it into practice. The whole truth is that God didn't bring us this far to just abandon us. It's truly an amazing journey learning how to really surrender. We all want to hang onto our problems and try to figure them out with our hearts and minds. Doesn't work! In the 12 step program we are aware of sayings like Live and Let Live, Let Go and Let God. They are simple but truthful. Let Go and Let God is all about surrendering. Life here in this world is gonna go by like a twinkling of an eye. Enjoy the moment and try to say God, or Allah, or Buddha, or whatever word that works for you that is your word for God, all the time. We are spiritual beings having a physical experience. Thoughts are powerful and I for one, am making mine work for me, creating a wonderful life full of love and compassion. So the next time you find yourself fretting over something, just let it go. Give it to the one that gave it to you in the first place and say, You better deal with this, You are the expert. He/She has got it under control. And in case you didn't know....God loves us so much and wants the best for us. And from the pen of Emily Dickenson, "Gods' gifts put Mans' best dreams to shame"....Blesssings to you my lone reader/s.
