That often He will so gently come in and help relieve us of our burdens. Too bad we cling to so many of them, even when we know they’re not good for us. And then there those that we (I) can’t even see that I have ANY attachment whatsoever…PLEASE, I don’t want that. How can You say I’m holding on to it (or some aspect of it)? That can’t be. Surely not!

Beautiful Hands

This is the kind of Friend
You are—
Without making me realize
My soul’s anguished history,
You slip into my house
And while I an sleeping,
You silently carry off
All my suffering and sordid past
In Your beautiful Hands.

- Hafez
The Subject Tonight is Love (translated by Daniel Ladinsky)

We’ve come up with the idea of being “God’s Girls.” Imagine my disappointment to find the site for GodsGirls is a PORN site. So disappointing, as I was hoping to connect with other women who feel like they’re God’s Girls. Have to do some checking around. Bummer about the porn site! (I guess those girls are God’s girls, too. Just not the ones I was hoping to find.)

I love working with Carol on this spiritual direction stuff. I am just loving being more and more in touch with God…having more and more of an awareness of His presence in my life. I love thinking of myself as being one of God’s girls…no matter what my age. Having that glow, being vibrantly alive, no matter what other people think, because God’s opinion is the only one that matters…and He loves me being vibrant!
