walking in faith

Posted: Wed, Nov 10, 2004 04:59:15 AM

..instead of running in fear.
this is something that i often have trouble with. i seem to conveniently forget that i do have an understanding, and caring HIGHER POWER that will take care of me and will provide with whatever i happen to need. this seems to happen when i am stressed or have let my spiritual connection lapse even slightly. when this happens i end-up running from whatever is happening and isolating into the cocoon of self-reliance.
today i am at the edge of getting the flu and am overwhelmed by taking care of what is in front of me and i want to go home, pull the covers over my head and spend the rest of my life in bed. although i have nothing happening that is that BIG, i want to run anyway. these days however i can go about my life with the FAITH that this too shall pass and i will be OK if allow GOD to work in my life.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

2) Constant action overcomes cold; being still overcomes heat. Purity
and stillness give the correct law to all under heaven.
