The Spiritual Side

One thing that I know with the deepest parts of my heart and I know to be true is that I have a loving, kind, patient and omnipotent Heavenly Father who knows and understands parts of my soul that I did not even know existed. You know, it's funny. When I am praying for help or guidance or strength, it's almost like my mortal mind is asking for one thing while my soul, my spirit, is pleading, begging, seeking for answers and truths and knowledge beyond my comprehension. He hears that part of my prayer. He knows I am limited by my mortal body to truly ask what I deeply want. He looks deeper to see what I am really wanting from Him. Those are the prayers that are answered and, in that moment I find the most indescribable joy fill my entire body physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. It makes me feel immortal at times.  I get that this doesn't happen for everyone. I get that some of you are rolling your eyes at me. Just know that this is what makes me happy. It's MY bliss. I love most everyone and will support and allow you to believe and feel and live as you desire in your heart (give or take a couple of people but I have my reasons:)) Regardless of whether your Christian or Jewish or Catholic or Buddhist or atheist, there are just some down right good qualities that if we all live by, this world would be so much better to live in. I feel these qualities would allow you deeper access into your own happiness and destination. You will find peace, joy and happiness.  That contention that you feel deep inside would dim and the true you would blossom into something beautiful. A few days ago a friend of mine posted a verse of scripture on Facebook and ever since then it has been on my mind. I have come to believe that if there is one set of guidelines that I want to live my life by it would be this:

"Remember faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility, diligence".

I know that if I strive to live my life by these simple words my day goes much better. I am happier and I can handle when things get more chaotic than my OCD can handle.  This is the part of my life that is never nonsense nor chaos but is complete control and happiness. It makes my soul sing. BE HAPPY TODAY!
