I was standing at the top of my mess, trying to look like I had all things together, but I was dying inside, I had no idea how to handle it anymore. I hit the final straw, and everything came tumbling down.

In the midst of these inner battles with stress and fear consumed me and my thoughts and my life, my dad got sick and died of cancer in a matter of 30 days. Through this pain and spending time with family and friends I decided I was done with fear and anxiety.

Meditation is a practice where an individual focuses the mind on a thought or activity. We are called to meditate on what is true, honorable, righteous, loving…. and as I said earlier, what we choose to think about will either fill us with death or life, blessing or curse.

We were created by God for a relationship with Him, and we see in Genesis that God knows that man alone is not good, so Adam and Eve had each other as a gift for relationship. Our primary goal in life is to have a relationship with God thatContinue reading “Primary Food: Relationships”
