There will never be another day like today

I have had so many hurdles, mountains, challenges in my life. Each time I approached one I asked myself " so ya reckon I can get over this one?" Seeking an answer I decided I would go to God with it. Offering a small prayer, and simple request, I took a deep breath and popped the question.
Then the answer would come in a quiet little whisper like thought that blew in from inside my mind out .... "In me ya can" was the answer. Another deep breath, and I thanked God and thought I will just ponder this a bit;" In me"..........hmmmm

Yes I had to think on that one a bit but then it came to me what the term...to be "in" something. I thought of the recent movie, Gee Just not that into you...so I pondered what it meant to be "in to" someone; being "into " God. Then it finally became very clear to me just exactly what that is or should I say look like.

So here is what came out of me from within me. Being "into" someone, something (for me God) but anything, ya focus has to be on it and it alone really. Total attention to what your into. I watched my little Grand daughter playing her DS and she was totally "into" her game, unaware of her surroundings. That kinda into is what I wanted to achieve; being into God, unaware of anything else but God and God alone. So I thought ok, lets go for it!

I sat with a mind just littered with so many thoughts. I decided to take another deep breath, and then I let my thoughts fly away like on a breeze. I slowed down my breathing thinking only of God. It was like breathing in new breath every time.

Peace so deep silenced my soul. I found myself unaware of anything else, it was just like time has stood still.
I just wanted to feel , be absorbed in this peace. It felt so wonderful!!! Wow I am really into God and it felt delicious to my soul!!! I felt so energized yet rested for the few moments, minutes, hours, don't really know how long it was, but I found that being "In Him " was just what I needed more than anything else.
It became clear to me that every breath was new. Every moment was new, every day was made brand new.
From intellectual concept to experience in just a few moments; I found a very special sanctuary.
Yes there will never be another day just like this day, nor a moment like this moment.
All is re-Newed!!
This is what helps me get through this day, through the physical pain, helps me cope in stressful situations, and I can always find hope when I get my focus fined tuned once again.
This is what I share with others when they ask me " how are you doing? I don't know how you get through the ordeal you are facing" and now ya know the rest of the story.
IN HIM
