Chelsea's Injury

What a day today (January 19, 2011) has been. Inspite of it all, one thing for sure, GOD is an awesome GOD. He deserves all the praise, all the GLORY.

Chelsea's wrist is broken in 2 places. She is worried of course, she is in pain, but all I kept saying is THANK YOU GOD! The ball could have it her in her eyes or worse, hit her in her head (head injuries).

Then while in the recovery room, her report came in my inbox, she opened the mail and she smiled. She said "mommy I'm so happy".
She called her friends and told them of her report and she kept saying to me "mommy I'm so happy".

Chelsea is a Honour Roll Student, she works and studies hard, yet she takes nothing for granted.
With a cast and sling on her hand, she reassures me, that she will be fine at school," mom I have friends who will assist" she said.

I love dearly my one and only daughter and I am extremely proud of her.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!

I LOVE THE DAILY POSTINGS BY HIGHER AWARENESS
 
BEING GENUINE by HIGHER AWARENESS

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you
something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
                                         -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

When we don’t know who we are -- or if we are afraid to be who we
are -- we betray ourselves. We pretend to be who we think we are.
Our self image is made up of our experiences, desires and other
people’s ideas and expectations of us.

Maintaining this false self is a betrayal of ourselves. In all
deep spiritual journeys, there is the experience of betrayal.
Betrayal always tells us to adjust our life to be more authentic.
What we identify with is all important.

There are large betrayals (e.g., your partner leaving you) and
small betrayals (e.g., disappointments). They are all experiences
of being wounded for the purpose of breaking down the defenses of
the personality. When we allow the wounding and accept the
betrayals as divine gifts, we greatly benefit.

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind
don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
                                        -- Dr. Seuss (via Elena)

“What you must dare is to be yourself.”
                                           -- Dag Hammarskjold

DISCOVER THE TREASURES INSIDE....Higher Awareness

“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or
consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every
minute with love, grace, and gratitude.”
                                              -- Denis Waitley

Peace, joy, health and well-being can only be found inside us.
They exist within us now, waiting to be discovered. Yet we tend
to look to the outside world to satisfy our needs and longings.

Our outer life reflects back to us the way we think, feel and
behave. The outer world is all effects. Go to the source inside
for all of life’s treasures.

How are you searching for peace and contentment outside of
yourself?

"The great Western disease is, ‘I'll be happy when… When I get
the money. When I get a BMW. When I get this job.’ Well, the
reality is, you never get to when. The only way to find happiness
is to understand that happiness is not out there. It's in here.
And happiness is not next week. It's now."
                                           -- Marshall Goldsmith
