What if

What if we learn to rest?  What does that really mean?  Is there an element of trust to rest?  I think so.  Trusting that all will work out, be okay, be provided allows me to let my shoulders drop, breathe deeply and know that I don't have to strive.  So simple!

What if

What if I slow down?  What if I just remain calm?  What if I yield to peace, sweet peace?

What if

What if I remember to write on this blog!  I have some ideas and hope to follow through with them here.

What if I love and accept myself more deeply?  I believe I am improving at this and feel that it is spilling over into accepting and loving others more.  Especially the others that are more difficult.

what if our words and thoughts are magnets

Would you spend your life in thoughts or words of fear and doubt?  Or would concentrate on abundance, goodness and beauty?  Would you continue to beat yourself up with negative thoughts?  Or would you start telling yourself that your blessed at everything that you do?   Or that you are beautiful?  That you attract all the right people and things?  Choose to create a better life for yourself.  Choose the right thoughts and words. 

What if we live up to this thought?

Consider the great truth that God/Creator needs you to be your most vibrant, strong and creative self.

an interesting TED talk

 I believe as Christians we should not be frightened of being vulnerable.  Or at least be willing to share our vulnerabilities even if we are scared.  When we open up our hearts and share it frees others to do the same.  So often we are hiding something that if we were to share it, it would cause us to feel shame.  More often than not though someone else has had the same experience.  We are denying ourselves a strong and valued connection by not sharing.
As a Christian how do we deal with shame?   I don't have all the answers.  I do believe that sharing our inadequacies with the right person can be a freeing experience.  I would rather be vulnerable and open to new connections that closed and missing out on a connected life.

what if

I really am enough?  Just because the The Lord God made me.  Because He loves me.  What if I am enough?
