Im NOT Dead Yet! Yesterday I went to a funeral but I didnt shed any tears and I wasnt saddened about my loss. When I left I felt more free, more fulfilled and more faithful than I have in many years. You see, at this funeral I didnt bury a loved one...I buried the toxins that were poisoning my heart, mind, body and soul. The poisons that were killing the quality of my life and making me question the core of my existence. I closed the casket on old sins, hurtful thoughts, words and actions that I engaged in so that I would no longer have to struggle for significance. I placed on the coffin flowers of complacency, confusion and lack of clarity about direction my life should take because I knew that I would rather travel down the road to an uncomfortable heaven than remain living in a comfortable hell. I lowered the bodies of negativity, distress, shame, doubt and blame into the ground...six feet below just because I knew I didnt need them anymore. I laid to rest my fear of the unknown and misunderstood in my life...having greater clarity with God on my side. And you know what? I walked away from that funeral knowing I could be and would be Better Stronger. Ready. And blessed. You see this was a funeral of rejoice and resurrection of a soul that I thought I lost a long time ago. It was a celebration of my new strength and my brand new shields of grace, hope, mercy and faith...My stronger back to lean on and my taut legs to stand tall with. This funeral allowed me to release all of those things that caused me to hold back. The things that held me back from love, trust, laughter and forgiveness... It released the shackles of anger and allowed me to smile again... Ah yes, this wasnt just an ordinary funeral because it was an extraordinary release. Sometimes we have to become our own funeral directors to conduct the homegoing services for those things in our lives that need to be permanently buried...We have to let go of the negative toxins so we can cleanse our souls in preparation for the good that God has prepared for our lives. Afterall, why should we bound ourselves to our past when God has already set us free to live in the now and in the enriched future? We only have to believe it. We only have to feel it. And we only have to allow it. Your past will not and cannot hinder you from travelling along the path that God has created for you...But you have to believe and get ready for that funeral. Our God is a God of second chances because he gives us what we need to become resilient, rejuvenated and restored so we can rejoice in the discovery of our untapped potential. But we have to bury the dead, negative energy in our lives before we can claim the destiny that God has bestowed upon us. It starts with the funeral. Yes, the death of a loved one can feel as though it is killing you softly but the demise of anguish, despair, hurt and pain can only prepare you for what lies ahead...the best is yet to come. Lesson: Bury the past. Bury the hurt. Bury the pain. Bury whatever is stopling you from bouncing back so you can Get Over It. I just did. What day are you choosing for your funeral?
