June 8, 2010: Keeping in Step with Truth

Grace is keeping your life in step with the truth in your heart. I took a major step, with God's help, to get to that place. No more lies. No more hiding. Getting it out. Being strong. The immediate aftermath has been painful, but necessary. "Pain is the touchstone of spiritual growth." I left him after all this time. I am pained by causing this man deep hurt and disappointment. However, I have to stay away or else I'll get sucked in and pulled down by his dependent heart. It is his choice whether or not he grows from the break-up by finding a new path. My decision is to grow my faith in the omnipresent spirit that governs us all and to live life to the fullest. It's ironic how empowering it feels to live in my truth when it took so long to find the courage to take the first step. Grace occurs mysteriously.
