Spiritual Self Care
Willing to Let God Speak to me today.
As you know my process,
I start with quotes and
keep writing and
finding more quotes and
Let the Healing Spirit of God
Speak to me…

I want to heal the darkness?
The specific darkness of my soul which
I have now been experiencing…
This quote says I need to
find the courage
to
defeat the darkness
of my soul

So what is this light of courage
that will defeat the darkness of suffering?

Courage is the awareness of fear
Courage is accepting fear
and courage is taking action to combat fear. (AAA)Aware, Accept, Action)
It takes a lot of courage to make changes…

This quote tells us that in order to have
courage to do something
we need to use our faith
to deal with our fears
Faith is asking our Higher Power, God
to help us figure out
what is causing the darkness…

It starts with willingness…

To make a change
You must be willing
to commit
to change
to have an open mind and
willing to take action

Awareness (is the key)
to open the door
of healing and change

You have to know what the situation is
in order to change and heal it…

This quote tells me that darkness of my soul
is a trigger that something is out of balance
and is surfacing for me
to become aware of
to accept
and then take action to bring it to the light
Divine light
for healing…
I label this an opportunity
to learn a spiritual lesson…
to heal my spiritual heart…
to get me unstuck…

This tells me that I am out of balance…
I have learned through experience
that if I do not accept the path of growth
I will go deeper and deeper into this
darkness…and sadness and loneliness
Dark Night of the Soul is
a sense of being lost
and
The heart will be mourning…

Oh my God…
Thank you for the awareness…
I am still grieving the loss of my sponsor…
Sylvia
Part of my heart went with you
when you passed away…
I feel all alone…
Sylvia…was a spiritual mom to me

For thirty years
She walked side by side with me
through my recovery,
trials and growth
and life and spiritual lessons…

Being estranged from my biological family
Sylvia stepped in to
mentor and
love me…
through the worst trials
and pain of my life..
I know God sent her to help me and walk with me
She was one of my angels…
I told her all my secrets

I know part of my heart
went with her when she died

I came across this quote
and I know this is a message
from Sylvia to me…
Sylvia came to me in a dream…
She appeared and gave me a big hug
and then she slowly
disappeared.
As I was waking up
I could still feel the warmth of that love…

My spiritual enlightenment is
that love is the
light that pushed back darkness…
I need to let that light of love shine…
That light of love is feed by
Divine Love…
and Divine Healing…

When I walked through the fear of
abandonment and asked for help
God sent an earth angel, Sylvia
to walk with me through my trials…
Sylvia touched my soul with her heart and spirit
and role-modeled unconditional love
which helped me open up to
God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit…

WHEN WE ARE LOVED AND ACCEPTED
JUST AS WE ARE…
IT GIVES US COURAGE TO FACE
“LIFE ON LIFE’S TERMS”

My Thank You Letter to Sylvia…
Thank you, Sylvia
for showing up in my life
when I needed you the most…
You listened to me whine…
You hugged me when I was hurt and crying…
You told me it would be ok…
You prayed for me…
You loved me when I was unlovable…
You did not abandon me…
You did not yell at me…
You did not tell me what to do…
You gave me suggestions
You accepted me whether I did them or not…
At that time in my life
I needed to have faith…
You interceded for me
when I could not even pray…
I cannot ever thank you enough…
As I am writing this to you
I am hearing you say,
“Esther, one way you can thank me
is to go back to AA and continue what
you were doing before,
keep passing on
the love and acceptance to
those who are hurting…
sharing your story,
sharing your experience,
sharing your
strength and hope…”
“Snap out of it”
Pass it on…
Share the light…

Wow,
amazing how this writing works…
I got my answer…
I will take action and follow through…
God needs me to help others…
Have a wonderful day…
It is good to be back…
In the light…

Hope you all are walking in God’s Healing Light…
