The first time I had that thought I was terrified. What if my spirit, what if God decided to withdraw that gift?

Today I know I will live and breath until the moment I go home to the place from which all existence springs forth and that knowing brings me peace.<\/p>\n<p>Life is such a miraculous gift and wonderful adventure. Some people take the time to align themselves with their spirit and connect with the celestial realms and some don&#8217;t.
