Come follow me, the Savior says to each of us...Let us follow together.

Hello friends and family,

   I am starting on a new journey today and I hope you will come along with me. You see, I teach a "spiritual living" class once a month to the women in my church. I have been doing this for awhile now and I am learning so much that I wanted to share with you.

   I want to start by sharing a little about myself. I am a single woman (divorced for over 20 years now), and I am a registered nurse by trade. I have had many ups and downs over the years, and at this time in my life I am the healthiest and happiest that I have ever been.

   The Lord has blessed me beyond my wildest dreams. I want to share my blessings with you. I am not sure that this can be done via a blog but I will try. I hope that you understand that I am only sharing and that any spiritual growth that you may experience will be only accomplished as you personally build your relationship with the Lord.

   I will try to make the things that I share non-denominational so that whatever you may believe, you can understand and possible learn something that will be a blessing to your spiritual growth.

   I will take a moment here to share my personal testimony: I know that Jesus Christ is the Son of our Heavenly Father. I know that the third member of the godhead, the Holy Spirit, is the one who can touch each of our hearts and teach us those things that we need to know, and desire to know. I have no desire to "shove" my beliefs down your throat. I am just sharing those things that the Lord has taught me so that possibly the Spirit can use these experiences to also teach you.

   I want to state once again, that today I am the healthiest and happiest that I have ever been in my life. I owe this present state of being to the grace of God. Just two years ago I was physically and mentally SICK. Today I am in the process of being healed, both physically and mentally.

    Today for my first blog I want to share with you one of the most important lessons that I have learned over the last two years and have now begun to see the results. This is the lesson that our Heavenly Father teaches when he says "Be still and know that I am God".

    BE STILL. Because I am a person who likes fun, and people and lots of activity I have not always followed this admonishon. I have not been still in body or soul. For the last two years I have been learning to "be still".

    I have been and still am learning to "stop and smell the roses". This is an apt saying for me, since I love the smell of roses. My favorite fragrance. During the last two years, first out of necessity because of poor health, and now out of desire, I have had to slow down my life. I am learning to "Be Still" and know my God.

     There are four basic relationships that have contributed to my present position of health and joy. They are my relationship with my Heavenly Father, my relationship with my family, my relationship with my fellowman, and my relationship with myself.

    Let me be clear on this. I have not got a perfect relationship in each of these areas but I am working on these relationships. That is the key for me. I am now aware of their importance and am seeking to strengthen myself in each of these areas.

    I am writing this blog for me. I pray that this blog might also be of value to others. My goal is to learn from my friends and family who have already learned those lessons that I have still to learn. I am praying that this will be a journey that many of us can take together.

   Please leave comments. Please pray for me and let me know how I can pray for you. Please come take this journey with me. Let us follow our Savior together. Let us become women of wisdom.

Sincerely,  Cathy
