120.02 do more as things grow and change every day

DAY 5, Read Luke 13:10-17 (Jesus heals a crippled woman). Notice Jesus compassionate response to the woman in comparison with the small-mindedness of the religious leaders. Are there long-suffering people in your life who need your care? I Have witnessed people reacting as Jesus' opponents do here?

I am always fascinated by how much I respond “physically” to people. Mom always said I was very empathetic and needed to protect myself so I didn’t  pick-up and feel too much from people. It’s really kinda weird as I can get the sense of the crowd or the person in the care driving by. . . Or hear a cough or Seo thing from Accross the room and know something about these people. I always felt like I was invading their privacy. . 

But then on the rare occasion where I hug someone or reach out to touch them, something deep and strong inside of me shifts. I really always have been able to pick-up things, I mean children always can see it. Like they know I can feel them, or something deeper.  I’ve always loved the time with children.  I mean, they are really closer to God having been on the other side movements before birth, and then suddenly have all these senses that over-power their natural knowing that was God.

Now more than ever to praise God with putting hands onto someone feels closer to me than ever.  I’ve had the spontaneous experiences a few times, and regularly avoid touching people at all. But I do recognize the progression of my experience and growth in the church.

Literally, Tuesday morning another man at the Saint Joseph’s morning meeting asked me about bring barefoot. I recounted my Witness Story of becoming Catholic and the “Each One, Teach One” Homely that repeating the words I highlighted in my lent guide. . . About my Mom’s Sermon. . . . And the “electric” connections between people!

Of course, I took off my shoes immediately in Mass hearing Fr Kevin ask us to “Each one Teach one”. . . So I had to walk up and share the new revelation with him after mass. I really think it was remarkable to share with him after Mass since we could feel the connection between us and then the whole room looked over to see us sharing. I really feel that others have this deep Empathy like me, but just do not understand it, or are afraid of better connections to others which comes when we ask Jesus to Heal through us.

DAY 6, Read Luke 12:22-32 ("Do not worry about your life.). I think this is one of my many blessing in Mass and sharing with the Prayerline and Others who ask. And I guess I really know I need to step into it more. And I realize I will in time, and really don’t need to rush it. Of course, I’ve been feeling I need to do more as things grow and change every day . . . .

Course, I really have no idea, as with everything I do, it’s more important to trust the Flow and Timing God Creates for me in all these things. So staying focused on seeking God Before all else is really ideal for me now more than ever. 

I mean, I really have everything I could ever imagine. I bike everywhere, only plant and build around the house. I always have too much food, and try to fast more. Like today I had two cups of coffee and hand-full or peanuts so far. . .
