~BE all you were created to BE~
From Suffering to Phoenix Rising ...


I was at the "Desk of God" last night asking a big question, Why all the suffering? Just in the past week, I received four phone calls related to loss (a twenty one year old friend of our family, a father with a two year old son and two very good friends who lost their siblings), along with emails from people asking for prayers and sharing their pain from loss of job, emotional turmoil, divorce and illness. So last night, I called on the big Kahunas, Jesus and Mary. I knew they understood my questions about suffering.  

 

As I laid there in silence waiting for the answer, I only heard two words, "Phoenix Rising" and then I was taken back to the scene from the Harry  Potter movie which Louie and I watched over the holidays. The mythical bird represented death and rebirth. L  iving a long life (the exact age can vary from five hundred to over a thousand years), the bird dies in a self-created fire, burning into a pile of ashes, from which a phoenix chick is born and later saves Harry Potter from the grips of death.   

 

When you are enveloped with feelings of loss or you're lost in your overwhelming emotions of hurt and pain, its hard to see a way out. This is the time to reach out and pray. Ask for help. Seek to find a way to a deeper understanding, a new-found peace and lightness. Know first, you need to take care of yourself. Take time to feel in order to heal. This may be the most challenging aspect of healing, to really feel the feelings. It will feel like the "Phoenix Rising", the burning, the pain, dissolving into ashes and eventually leading you to rebirth.   

 

Through my own experience, suffering sucks! To put it bluntly. I have moved through my own painful experiences of losing my sister, cancer, and divorce and I can now say (not when I was going through it), that each experience eventually led me to a choice, to emerge from the burning ashes into a new life, a new experience of living.  

 

To be honest with you, last night in the midst of my conversation at the "Desk of God" I questioned my faith. If there was a God, if we are God, why would he/we create suffering? I could not feel my faith in this moment, so I just prayed for guidance, understanding. This is my recommendation to you when your faith is fragile, PRAY, PRAY, PRAY or plead to feel peace in the midst of pain.  

 

As I was shown this morning, you will be guided. You will put the pieces back together again, so you can feel wholeness, a choice to rebirth. The puzzle's image may look differently but it will reveal your life as you choose to see it. You can not change the past, but you do have a choice to embrace it, (you don't have to like it) but you can wrap your heart around it and move forward.  

 

I was drawn to go back to Day 37 from A 40 Day Affair with Your Self and to share this message from the Soul to close today.... 

 

Your Soul Wants You to Remember...

  

Death and rebirth are two sides of the same coin; one cannot exist without the other. Through the death of the caterpillar, the re-birth of the butterfly is possible; one cannot exist without the other. Can you let go of all that no longer serves you and allow this transformation to occur? Can you see "death" as an opportunity to transform so you can "re-birth" into a new energy where anything is possible?

 

Everything in your life has purpose, everything has meaning, and your life is truly a miracle. Bless what was. Open your awareness to witness a new reality where miracles are the norm. Choose to live your life day-by-day and enjoy just being in the moment of now. Welcome the ease, welcome the flow, and know there is nothing to fear in this re-birth and there is also nothing to fear in death.

 

I welcome you to email me and share your thoughts about today's Soul Stirrings and Inspirations. Remember, today and everyday is an opportunity for new beginnings.

 

I have added this link to share this message. I have a feeling some of you know of someone who can benefit from this guidance. Its your choice to pass it along.  

 

  

 

Blessings,
