Sudden shocks shake you
like an earthquake. The initial reaction
is fright and alarm. You think your
world is going to turn upside down. Quickly
catch yourself before you fall too deeply into ego’s grasp. Recognize how much of your reaction is
programmed. “Oh, my God! This is the worst thing that could possibly
happen,” you are programmed to cry. Is
it, or is that a belief from the human side of you?
Fast forward to what
you would know as the future and what we know as the unfolding of
now-moments. The “future” reveals much
growth from these earth-shattering moments.
The “future” looks different because life is about change, but you are
still here in this so-called future, stronger than ever, having rebuilt your
foundation.
Catch yourself before
you crumble when the earthquake hits. Do
not crumble, but stand firmly upon the foundations of spirit and know that this
is yet another test. Are you human or
spirit? Yes, my friend, for now you are
both. Lean heavily on that aspect of
yourself which is the awakened spirit when all around you seems to crumble, and
be the rock. Most important of all, know
that you do not stand alone. Your foundation
is buttressed by many helpers. Call on
them for support and the rock becomes a strong wall, held together with the
mortar of love.

I love it when we are reminded about the many helpers we have that we can't see. It is so easy to forget that day to day.
On another note, "The Priest and Medium" is amazing. Thanks Suzanne :-)
It seems like I've been "catching" myself quite a bit lately. So many tests. I always think of myself as strong—-but, the human side wants to react with fear. I've had so many experiences with love and support—-I feel guilty when I let the fears take over because I feel like I'm letting my angels down. I've never really experienced unconditional love—new concept for me—but, I'm grateful for it :)
I agree with Papaj. I just finished Through the Darkness and The Priest and the Medium. Loved the dialogue at the end about spiritualism and Catholicism.
