Life, as I look back, has been a very interesting and rewarding journey. I see the joys of my childhood growing up, the years as a teenager trying to figure out the life I thought I had figured out, finding my soul mate whom I would begin a family with and have grandchildren with and then have to experience the loss of that soul mate. My journey has been filled with many joys and sorrows, but in the midst of it all, I found the only common denominator that can help us cope and understand life’s successes and failures. An overwhelming and never ending love that comes from our Creator. In this mysterious love, we may not find all the answers we are searching for, but we can rest in it and know we will never be abandoned.

I have discovered that there are many pathways to this great love of our Creator. That is the beauty and the mystery that draws us towards what we cannot explain. It captures us when we are not expecting it and it helps us find purpose, and at times, it’s a pathway back to our journey. Each of our journeys are as unique as our fingerprint. While they are all different, they are all intertwined and were designed to work together for the good of all. In the wilderness of life, we can bring purpose to those less fortunate and help them find hope so they are able to experience the powerful love that helps us journey through life. In and through this Love, we can help a hurting world and leave no one feeling abandoned or orphaned. For those of us who trust and live within this great love, the story never ends. Let’s work together, setting aside our differences, and help those who may only be existing.

I have also discovered, through my journey, that in my searching I was being sought. That when I thought I had found something, I had already been found. That when I thought I possessed something, I was already possessed by the Creator. I realized it wasn’t just me and my Creator standing there but all of humanity and it was up to me to allow His grace to show me His will and allow this new faith to begin working for the good of all. In my surrender the Creator had taken hold of me and I knew I didn’t want to ever let go, but more important, I discovered my real identity and found rest in knowing who I already was, one with God.
