light man dark man

I had a vision of a light man (God) pulling me from the front of me


and a dark man (the devil) pulling me from the back

of me - both were trying their best to have strength but

in the end I think they tried for balance in myself - like how to have me

coasting through the world with grace -a comfortable type of grace that 

I can live by and with -

I also thought of (reminded of this thought from yesterday)

is that we are all seeking a grace that is our comfort zone

and this set of images is like a manifestation of that thought

and observation.

I also while talking to the priest who is visiting while behind the iconostasis  - I notice he bugged

me - well I just - still - knew I was going to help him do his part in the service

as well  -Yes he annoyed me a little bit - but that was all - no throwing out 

the baby with the bath water or resistance -

 

I also was able to think more about the parishioners today. I feel so much

more comfortable with the technical parts of the liturgy that NOW

I know that I am both communicating with the choir of nuns

as well as presenting for the parishioners/audience as well.

It's really inspiring me - I am not doing it for my own vanity or my

own sense of narcissistic perfecting - I just know I have a group

to serve - and it's going so well!! They hug me at the end and it's really wild

What that vision is telling you is that every day, with every decision you make and by your thoughts, words, and actions, you are getting closer to God/Heaven/Love and further away from Hell/Fear.. So in other words, You are on the right track so keep on keeping on is the message here!

your light/dark/god/devil vision reminds me of one of my favorite parables.
