EXHALE

Sometimes we get so caught up living in this physical world that we tend to neglect the spiritual being within. The being that is yearning for attention and love. The Being that is carrying us through this life that we perceive to be real.

We tend to think that all we have is what we are. We feel depleted and discouraged when "life" doesn't seem to be going so smoothly or as planned.

Why do we feel so free but yet so captivated by the things we experience and feel? Why do we lose ourselves in the routines we have so diligently created for ourselves? Why do our hearts go right while our minds go left?

When did we forget to exhale?

Many of us spend most of our lives inhaling. Taking in the life moments. Holding on to memories. Harboring resentment and pain. We take in the moments of joy, love, fear and pain but we forget to release them.

We forget to detach from them. We allow them to hold us down, to define us...to keep us captive in yesterday.

We forget to exhale.

We forget to live in the moment.

We carry each moment into the next and never fully experience life for what it really is.

Life is unlimited moments. Moments that come and go. Individual NOW moments.

Moments of faith.

Let them go as them come. They are a flash in time.

Take them in....inhale the moment but don't forget to exhale.

Empty your lungs.

Make room for the next moment.

The next fresh breath of air.

Make room for God's spirit that is unlimited, ever changing but yet so constant.

Don't forget to exhale.
