Wow. I had such a strong presence of my HP walking with me today.
I have been reading about folks using God boxes and I have a slightly different version.... in that I actually sit down and draw.... sending any specific worry or concern or need of guidance up to my HP (whom I call God). I am not an artist by any means, but I know and God knows what I mean! I have a notebook just for that purpose.
So, last night I prayed and drew another pic of a released concern up to God. I woke up today feeling very peaceful; as a matter of fact, my morning was not starting out well at all. Lots of steps back from any movement forward. However, I felt so calm and peaceful about it all.......I wasn't sweating, harried, swearing, stomping, sighing, etc., which can be my go-to behavior when it is "one of those days." No, I was just like, "OK, I know this will get resolved" and I could just FEEL the loving presence of my God. It was a very strong sense of support as I walked through what I needed to get done.
I have not received an actual response or answer to my original concern.....but I know it will be revealed when it is meant to be. In the meantime, I don't feel like I am slogging it out all on my own.....what a great feeling.
Great share Ellen....I love that you do your 'lift ups' in a way that matters to you! I too offer up all that I can to HP and find peace in doing so. What amazes me about 'results' - when I truly let things/people go, that is when there appears to be more clarity.
(((Hugs))) - thanks for sharing!

Oh, that is so nice to hear! I love when other members share specific ways they "do" recovery. I love the idea of offering a drawing up to HP. And love the idea of feeling HP so powerfully.
