Just the day before yesterday I was invited to do what Dan Millman did in the true life story of Peaceful Warrior as he was in a 'stuck place' of his circumstances. Like Dan I went (figuratively) to lay on top of that old car to stare at the sky until I could get it. I often get 'stuck' in circumstances and come to realize with gifted 'coaching' of a peaceful warrior how to find my way back to what is already inside of me, seeing how precious I am comes quickly once I lay myself out before the Lord, this is the only place I am set free..
Oh the fight of the mind with the heart or if you prefer the flesh and the spirit is hard as the tests become harder! What a sick feeling it gives me when I get stuck in my 'head and thinking', having a pity party with myself which slams my door on being able to accept the continuous flow of God's Love. It's like standing in the shower with a rain coat on...I stop the flow.
If you would like to watch this, here is a trailer from the movie Peaceful Warrior. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CTr4SzyJgc&feature=related
Here's my on the 'top of the car' experience:
I like me
I love me
I can do anything
I feel God's abundant Light and Love drenching and lifting me
I feel the beauty in the universe as I look out into the sky
I smell all the sweetness that is a gift to me
My sensations are acute and I am one with God
I want to die for this beauty and peace
And as a result of experiencing this, only after 'being' and 'allowing', (which is the door to my heart) Jesus to drench me with His great Love, I find myself full of strength, renewed, refreshed and replenished, once again not affected or focused on the darkness around me. Then again at Wednesday night bible study I felt like I was the only one there, in an 'on top of the world' experience while the Lord continued to pour His Love into me.
Here I am Lord,
fill me up with Your Love until It is overflowing and spills out onto someone else.

And Mom, Happy Birthday!!! I feel close to you each day of my life. You are beautiful, you show me how to live Faith, Hope and Love in more ways than you could know. I see you and I love you.
To all of Laura Durham's family, my heart is with you today, having the assurance with you that this same Love pouring to you from Jesus will comfort you eternally.
Jesus reminds us. John 17:15 "I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. 16 "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 "Sanctify them in the truth ; Your word is truth. 18 "As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 "For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. 20 "I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word ; 21 that they may all be one ; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
