"Paralyzed"

On our rafting trip a
couple of weeks ago,
one of the instructions
given was "foot
entrapment." You
don't want to get your
foot or feet stuck in the
rocks or debride in
shallow water. The
guides tell you to stay
in the raft.

We can be paralyzed
by the rocks and debride
of life, and afraid to
continue on. We look
at the past and think it
was better.

Lot's wife looked back,
in the story in the Bible,
and turned to a pillar of
salt. She was frozen in
the past.

We can also be paralyzed
by the fear of what may
lie ahead on our journey.
It is easy to make up
stories of why it is better
to stay safe with what we
know..

Our Guide is telling us to
stay in the raft of the
present so that we do not
get entangled in the past
or frozen in the "what might
be" of the future.

We have choice. Our
Guide is always with us
as we travel through the
unknown. It is up to us to,
though, as to whether we
proceed or freeze.

Let Us Pray:
Divine Spirit, we desire to
listen to Your guidance, and
to be fully present on our
journey. We release the
comfort of the past and the
fear of the future. We love
You and trust You. Thank
You, God. Amen.

Thanks for your love and
support as we continue on
this adventure.

Peace and joy,
Sandy

Love,
Sandy
