centeredness

[bskidmore]

tonight i had a conversation with a friend of mine about centeredness... that feeling of personal stability that leaves you free to love yourself and love others more easily. You find yourself free from the insecurities that otherwise make you selfish, needy, lonely, jealous, anxious. You find there's an inner calm. You're happy, or at least less

I felt much like you have the past several months. Sometimes you are at peace, you have a calming that everything will be ok but other days it is just not there. As I have been reading Exodus I realized the children of Israel went through the same things. They were great some days and other days felt like God had left them to die. God would question why they doubted or had disbelief. In my own life I often wonder without disbelief and the low days, how much I would really depend on God.

i had someone encourage me over
the last few months to continue
to give of myself- no matter
what place of life i'm in.
somehow, no matter where we're at in
life- when we give of ourselves-
we are given the grace we need to
get through. that has brought a
sense of centeredness for me.

i guess for every person- finding
that centeredness looks different
in regards to creative expression,
time alone & w/ others, beliefs in a god/higher power, actions towards health & environment- but in giving of oneself- includes all humanity.
