Beautiful People,
Sometimes our lives become like a rhythmic journey. One day we are sad. Then we are joyful. Then sad again. We twist and turn. Sometimes we feel resigned to doubt and despair.
Then within ourselves, we meet Love Unexpected.
So We Breathe and Listen Deeply. And we begin to question and wonder.
But before we can move on to embrace the Freedom that comes with Love; we must revisit Doubt and Despair.
And everything we never healed appears so that we can offer and receive Forgiveness.
Then we are asked to Let Go; but to take that which is precious and healed on the New Journey…
Rev. Melony McGant
