You guys, I finally did it.
I finally got rid of my old business cards.
It wasn’t an easy choice to make. I’d been so proud when I ordered them! They had really pretty pictures! Wasn’t it wasteful to let them go?
Earlier this week, though, I finally tossed the remaining stacks into the recycling.
Why? Because I got clear on one thing: Keeping those cards meant holding onto the past.
“It might sound crazy, but I feel like there’s something MORE that I’m supposed to be doing with my life. I don’t know what it is, exactly, but I really need to get clear on it!”
If I had a dollar for every time I heard that, I’d be swimming in a pool of money like Scrooge McDuck.
So many of us feel this deep desire for clarity, but self-doubt keeps us stuck.
Dear friend,
You never know when truth is going to find you. Truth sets you free, and that’s the best news there is. But you need to do your part; you must open your eyes. You need to look around your small cell and see Truth next to you, ever patient, holding the keys.
Truth is not outside; it’s there in the cell with you, close as your own heart. The Eagles had it right: So oftentimes it happens / that we live our lives in chains / And we never even know we have the keys.
Sweetheart, I just want to give you a heads up. Someday soon, you will find yourself writing an essay in which you describe your childhood church, The Worldwide Church of God.
You’ll want to link to a basic description of the organization, so you’ll do some research. By this time, you’ve Googled the church before, but words like “cult” and “abusive” made you look away.
