My life path has been strewn with opportunities to experience great sorrow and suffering. I learned young that there was a divine plan for my life, but after numerous disappointments, I decided that my “great plan of happiness” was being frustrated by the devastating choices of others. I felt discouraged and defeated. (I later learned that much of my suffering was due to my own poor thinking.)

Over time, the discomfort and struggle led me to powerful truths that set me free from limiting beliefs–those inherited from my family and some that were adopted from society. These constructs of mankind had been limiting my belief in infinite possibilities for my life and my ability to create something better.

It was by the grace of God that new thoughts and insights began to emerge from the ashes of my suffering.  I gleaned all I could from many inspired sources. New scriptural understanding began to emerge and flipped my limiting beliefs on their head, awakening within an innate wisdom powered by divine intelligence.

Drawing upon the power of God through prayer and trusting my own divine nature, debilitating thoughts, habits, and patterns were brought to light and lovingly transformed. By small and simple course corrections, I began to see that my great plan of happiness hadn’t been frustrated at all. This WAS my plan!

Each adversity was a stepping stone on my path to greater understanding, wisdom, and joy. My true nature began to be revealed. The light of Christ within began to shine forth, lighting my path as I humbly walked through the dark night of this world.

Do you feel the pull to discover these truths for yourself? Are you ready to awaken the light and truth within your own soul? Are you willing to arise and shine forth?

Let us walk together awhile on the path so that you might also learn to gracefully navigate your own unique stepping stones of self-discovery and personal empowerment.
