INTENTION
With determination and faith, I create a life I love.

What is my intention today? What do I want to feel and experience over the next 24 hours? As I begin to probe these questions, I connect with Spirit in oneness and gratitude. I visualize the day ahead--who will I see and what actions will I take? Then I consider what qualities I will demonstrate and what attitude I will hold. Will I be patient, adventurous, loving?

Life is made up of the choices I make, the love I give and receive, and the faith I hold every moment of every day. If I have been waiting for "someday" to come, I stop waiting and make the decision to live fully and freely right now. I set the intention to live a life I love--and I start today.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. --Psalm 119:105

Mark 10:32-52 "And they were in the way going..." KJV - Online Bible Study

Mark 10:32-52 "And they were in the way going..." KJV - Online Bible Study And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they wereamazed ; and as they followed , they were afraid . And he took again the twelve, and began to tellthem what things should happen unto him, 33 Saying, Behold , we go up to Jerusalem; and theSon of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemnhim to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: 34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourgehim, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again . 35 AndJames and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying , Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire . 36 And he said unto them, What would ye that Ishould do for you? 37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit , one on thy right hand,and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. 38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of ? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with ?39 And they said unto him, We can . And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cupthat I drink of ; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized : 40 But to sit onmy right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give ; but it shall be given to them for whom it isprepared . 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted torule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority uponthem. 43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be yourminister: 44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. 45 For even theSon of man came not to be ministered unto , but to minister , and to give his life a ransom formany. 46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a greatnumber of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging . 47And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out , and say , Jesus, thou Sonof David, have mercy on me. 48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace : but hecried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 49 And Jesus stood still , andcommanded him to be called . And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort ,rise ; he calleth thee. 50 And he, casting away his garment, rose , and came to Jesus. 51 AndJesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee ? The blind man saidunto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight . 52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way ; thy faithhath made thee whole . And immediately he received his sight , and followed Jesus in the way.

NO REGRETS
I love the life I live now.

To live without regrets requires the discipline of awareness, the compassion to forgive and the courage to change. I am aware of my true nature--that I am a spiritual being, loved and guided by the Divine Infinite. Anytime I feel I have failed to be my best self, I remember that I am learning to live and love at the highest level of my soul's wisdom. I ask Spirit to reveal what I might change to move closer to being my best self. I then ask for the courage to make that change.

Knowing I am doing my best, I have compassion for myself. As I learn to forgive myself, I find it easier to forgive others. I am at peace with the path that has brought me to this place of understanding. I have no regrets, and I love the life I live now.

For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light.--Ephesians 5:8

Happy Mother's Day
