Affirmation for today: “THE WAY MADE EASY.” As we surrender to the Divine Being within us, as us, we start to experience ways being made out of seeming no way. In fact, the way is made easy. Our job is know and trust. Affirm these words as I read them: “I am the life of God. All that God makes through me is done with ease and grace. I release the discomfort of fear, doubt, and worry. I trust in the Divine within me, as me.” And so it is. This is from SOM, Practitioner Eugene Holden. This has been Sheila Mitchell with today’s announcements. Enjoy Your Sunday.
