As life springs forth in the natural world, my inner world blossoms

[MajestyJo]

Have a dear friend who got in touch with her native roots. I love nature, brought up on a farm, but have always had a strong affinity for Native American teachings after they brought in an Elder to speak to us about the Medicine Wheel when I was in treatment. It had a big influence on me and how life come full circle and goes around in cycles.

At 7 years sober, there was a major awakening spiritually for me and another one at 14 years. I have been going through another one the last couple of years, which I find has drawn me closer to my God and my roots. A much more open mind that encompasses all things, and the HAND OF GOD in ALL things.

Spring is here, a time of rebirth and new beginnings.

My roots was a little Gospel Hall, with no fancy trimmings, nothing between me and God. A direct line where you stood up when you felt like speaking to Him and prayed. A lot of singing from the heart and a lot of praise, not the new music but the old gospel songs I was raise with.

Yet it is about, don't leave Christ on the Cross, He is no longer there. He Lives and He lives within my Heart.
