Stand firm

Sometimes I feel pulled from so many directions that I cannot figure out what to do next.

When this happens,  when I remember, I find it helpful to stop and remind myself who I am (I child of God, beloved, given a path to follow on this earth) and what my values are. (things like walking softly on this earth, treating those around me always with love and respect and kindness, always finding joy in myself and where I am, ...)

When I stand firm in know who I am in God and who I am called to be, I can stand firm amidst the challenges swirling around me, and embrace them with joy and grace.
