The peace in your life

The peace in your life

I remember a long time ago I went to a mediation class and they asked what you truly wanted in your life. They made you write it on a piece of paper and speak it to the universe. 

Recently, I found that piece of paper in my wallet, and it said 

"I want peace within"

Of all the things I could have asked for, I knew I wanted peace in my life, something money could never buy.

I wanted the kind peace that comes in your life, that you no longer worry.

The kind of peace knowing that your faith is so strong that you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that everything will be okay.

The day I cried out to God after hitting rock bottom is the day I received this kind of peace. It is an indescribable feeling when you let go and let God. Your life will never be the same.

In spite of what you have done, he will love and forgive you. No matter how many times you screw up, he still makes you feel like you deserve it. That you deserve his favor, his grace, and his mercy.

I remember the first time I came into this church. I was broken, I was hurting, and I was lost. I had nowhere to go and no one to help me. 

God spoke to me through my Bishop. That message, that morning was for me. It was about Peter who was in the boat and Jesus told him to get out of the boat in the storm, to trust him that he could walk on the water. He listened, but once he doubted his faith, he sunk, yet Jesus still saved him.

This was me, I was drowning in a storm. I believed, but not totally, and I kept sinking until I truly gave it all over to him.

Today, I no longer worry about what people say. I don't worry about bills or clients or what ifs. I stand fast in his word... I pray and let God worry. That's it, that is my physiology of life, pretty simple, right? Yup...pray and let God worry. My part is trusting and believing. The rest is up to him.

I have to tell you the last 12 years have been incredible. You can feel the peace when you walk into my home. You can feel it when you're around me, even in my writing. It is everywhere in my life.

I learned that if something or someone is threatening that peace, that they are history, bye Felica. I've worked too hard to get it, and trust me, nothing is going to mess this up.

So today, my friends let go of stress, of sleepless nights, of anger, anxiety, and heart palpitations. None of which will change your situation. Instead, choose peace. If you let go and let God, you will find it. Look what happened all those years ago, I spoke it, and so it was.
