I had a dream one day that I would have the perfect Family, Life, a Family of Unity, one that always, always, agreed about everything, no screaming, anger, fighting, hitting, calling names, braking things, pain, hurt, humiliation, loneliness just laughter, hugs, kisses, gentle touchs, acceptance, joy, peace, . I thought I, Trudy alone could make this Dream come true.
I gratuated from High school, desired so badly to bring this Dream of mine to Reality.
I went to work because I knew that I needed money to bring about this Dream and I needed a man to marry if I was to have children. Then Struggles started happening. But I was Persistant, I was going to make this happen. Well, the first year of my marriage I could not figure out what was going on, where is the Dream of Growing up, Getting Married and Living Happily Everafter !!!
Not a Reality !!! Just a Dream !!! I was devestated, I crashed, fell to all my Weaknesses, and kept going down down down. I kept turning to God and say Whats wrong here Its a beautiful Dream. Am I not worthy of Happiness, Love. Do I not deserve it. I was alway a good Girl. Tried my best to do what was right. Well, That Persistance in me kept me going, I was going to get my dream one way or the other .....
To make a long story short " What I experiened that day in Disney World was God showing me "Trudy" you have it Girl If you learn to "Stop" "Listen" I am here for you, with you. You "Trudy" have been RUNNING ahead of me, without me !!! Surrender --- Trust --- Have Faith -- I am your Father -- I would never abandon you !!! That is Love -- Unconditioal Forgiving Love -- Acceptance !!!! There is no human who can give that to you without knowing me first, But you have to Choose me, Trust me and I will be your Guide !!!!
My Choice is God, God's will be done not mine --
Luke 9:23 -- Jesus says "If anyone wishes to come after m, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me"
My Priest told me one day and I reflect on this every time I read this reading,
He said "We all want the Glory of the Ressurection but Not the Cross. No one want to suffer first, feel pain, hurt, Who wants to drink the cup of "Jesus" ??????? Thats where "Choice" comes in !!!
I want to share what I heard God say to me Yester day !!!
I go to Church everymorning when God wills it and I hear Him Loud and Clear because I open my heart to him -- surrender it all -- I bring my all and lay it at the Feet of Jesus --
Luke 24: 35 - 48
Jesus said "PEACE be with you" .... but they were STARTLED and TERRIFIED , they thought that they were SEEING a ghost.. .... Jesus said "Why are you TROUBLED ???" ... Why do you
QUESTIONS rise in your HEARTS ???? ... TOUCH and SEE ..... whild they were still incredulous for JOY and were amazed .... Jesus asked " .. anything here to EAT ???? " ......
..... Jesus said " ....everythin written about me in the LAW of Moses and in the prophets and PSALMS must be fulfilled." Then he opened their MINDS to understand the scriptures. ... Then he said. "Thus it is written that the Messiah would SUFFER and rise from the dead on the third day and REPENTANCE ..... in his name to all the nations .......You are WITNESSES of these things
Then the Priest gave his talk and this is what he said and I heard ---
When God Communicates to us, we first feel FEAR -- we are STARTLED - TERRIFIED -- we question, we worry, we wonder, our Hearts are troubled BUT if we slow down and LOOK and REFLECT on the WORD OF GOD. The JOY starts setting in over the Fear. When we TRUST ...
We eat these WORDS we Digest them, take them Deep down into our HEARTS then the Peace and Joy of Jesus Christ is there Not Fear. We can ACCEPT the SUFFERING what ever it may be -- an illness, death, lot of a job, Because God is always there, We are never alone and He died to give us Life -- REPENTANCE -- To be sorry for our sins and Change our Minds, We can Rise with Christ, in His Name we can be WITNESSES to all the world..
Amen !!
Glory and Praise to you, Lord, Jesus Christ !!!
I am living my Dream !!!
Yours in Christ,
Trudy
