"The Lord washes away all sin and all pain. Every day is a new day with the Lord. He can make your soul white as snow."
I was sitting in my room meditating tonight and decided to add light to my meditation time. I didn't try to make everything without form and an empty space. I filled that space with the light. I sought the light, and the light reached out. The light didn't show me a place, it didn't show my my future. All that I suddenly saw was the hundreds of memories that flooded through my mind of past events that I am not proud of. After I had seen those moments, the light pushed a wave as big as the sky through my vision. The light was there but the stars were shining. Everything that I had stressed about or felt guilty about disappeared. The purpose of my meditation was to discover what I was missing in life and what to do next. Instead, I focused on a light and it broke the chains of my past that kept me in fear and kept me away from success.
I know this all sounds crazy, but the statement I made at the beginning of this blog is not my own. It is a promise that I heard, a statement of truth that overcame me as I sat on the edge of my bed, relaxing for the first time in months. I no longer let the noise of life and work fill my mind. I decided to just be. The best part, I knew that wave. I had been to that place before. I had felt that peace on a starry night on a deserted beach outside of Wailuku. The heaven's showed me peace then, and the Lord has just reminded me of my worth, my value, my forgiveness.
I hope this Volunteering Traveler has many more adventures. I know they will be based in spreading the love of God with the earth.
I am excited for the next step! Keep following me on my journeys!
