br. patrick and his near-death experiences...
Shakesthecoffecan:
I think I am fearful because what I might want for my life the higher power might not want, might have some reason for me to stay in a place I no longer care or want to be in.
loneleeb3:
I don't even know if I can articulate it.
i guess it comes form having no faith in myself.
I'm afraid he'll put me in circumstances that I don't want to be in or don't think I can handle.
I know he tells us in Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
I guess I have trust issues. I just don't know how to let go.

Hello again, Brother Patrick. I was still alert to the endless possibilities of Legacies, and I remembered that I had written you a PM in response to the film Loggerheads which might have made some mention of it.

Whew! I thought this was going to be a really tough one. But you have raised one of the most simplest of answers. FAITH! Just ask and you'll have it. It's FREE and always given. I should have picked up on that from your comments. DUH! Faith gives you the Trust that allows you to let go! It's really simple. And no strings or anything like that! The One Who IS LOVES giving this gift! Just to be certain that I am relaying proper information, one would ask for Faith IN the One Who IS. 'He' will take it from there. It's as easy as breathing! Then you just relax!

PS, Realize that this is the ONE who created your essence; the YOU in you... 'He' made the person we have come to know and love. Your genetics may have been a "gleam in your father's eye" and the "egg" that your mother was born with. That gave you your appearance, talents, gifts, creativity... But the YOU in you came from the ESSENSE of the One Who IS. Your ESSENCE is unique and precious and Loved; "a thing marvelous to behold". Isn't that just awesome?

Believe me, I can't even imagine the possibility of that happening. 'He' KNOWS what is best for us and is not out to 'get us' so what you already feel is most likely exactly what you will continue to feel. Remember the Covenant to "The People of the Rainbow" and realize that 'he' has been on your side all along. If things change then it will be for the best.
Don't want to get "all holy on your ass (Latter Days)" but one of my favorite scripture quotes is Romans 8:28 because I was given a really cool melody for the words: "God makes all things work together, for the sake of those who have been called, according to 'his' decree."
I now understand "according to 'his' decree" to BE the Covenant he has made with us~!
Join Daniel and make a big sign for your mirror: NO FEAR
