physical, emotional, spiritual

when i talked about paths…it was because i was on one of my own.
a path to find healing, a path i felt God had prompted me on…but one i took off on all on my own.
i prayed and pondered about it all of course, but it was more that He would accompany me on the journey I had mapped out.
a loved one recently brought to my attention that perhaps i wasn’t feeling complete and healed because i had spent so much time and effort on the physical aspects.
it was a gentle reminder that it takes having the physical, the spiritual, and the emotional parts of ourselves in balance before we can truly find joy and contentment.
she was my hug from God.
my gentle nudge toward a new direction and new truths.
i have absolutely been paying less attention to the emotional and spiritual aspects of my heart and life, and have instead been incredibly focused on healing what is physically wrong.
vitamins, supplements, holistic health, working out, eating clean and organic….i was a check, check, checkin’ it all off.
but where have i been in dealing (and healing) in my hurt of what feels like the loss of another parent?
where am i in growing my faith and my intimate relationship with the Lord?
and has the time i’ve spent in the physical been equally contributed between all three?
absolutely not.
so last week was the beginning.
i let a few things go for a moment.
i needed to reboot.

 i spent time with people i love and adore.
i had my youth group girls over for the night and soaked in the joy each one of them brings.
i sat and read books to my kids, snuggled on the couch with my husband, and spent concentrated moments thinking on and being grateful and thankful.
each morning i sat before my bible and the Lord, and before reading a word, i simply asked him to show me what HE had for me to learn this day.
i am putting aside my will.
my plans.
my desires.
and waiting on him.
because in him, ALL things are made beautiful.

{a lot of you have ever so sweetly asked and checked on me in regards to the anxiety and treating it naturally…and i think this particular post as well as the paths post kinda sums up where i am at the moment. just. in the moment.}
