Of course, I can relate everything to a metaphor and especially a fashion one. Just like everyone feels comfortable in different things, it’s the same with God.<\/p>\n
Some like classic Little Black dresses that make them feel more alive, some like to go for soft comfy and traditional with cotton sweatpants, others in native clothing, or in an outrageous costume makes them feel most themselves. That is what makes the world go around. Variety gives us such gifts of growth. We learn every day.<\/p>\n
What if God actually created so many different version of itself so that we had to learn to love even more. I know it’s harder for me to feel loving towards someone who is judging me and telling me I am not worshipping God the right way. This is none of anyone’s business. Before buildings and books, there was still God. Before the “rules,” there was a Higher Power guiding this Universe underneath it all. I love questioning everything so I can get more clear. I can’t tell someone they love God wrong or not enough.<\/p>\n
I can be an example.\u00a0 I can show what a connection to God looks like in a healthy way for me, while allowing others to have their own relationship without it affecting mine even if it’s so different.\u00a0\u00a0 No better than or less than with our souls.<\/p>\n
I just purchased a vintage navy velvet coat and I feel like it’s home when I’m wearing it.\u00a0 It feels like I’m a\u00a0queen.\u00a0 I feel like Stevie Nicks.\u00a0 I love that luxury\u00a0feel of velvet and that\u00a0gypsy cool vibe\u00a0too.\u00a0 If someone else tried on the coat, it might look silly or too big or too small.\u00a0 It’s just right for me.\u00a0 There would be others\u00a0that\u00a0could rock the coat just fine.\u00a0 Maybe\u00a0they would add a scarf or a\u00a0pin, adding even more to fit their style.\u00a0\u00a0But oh what a dreadful world it would be if everyone had that velvet coat and there were no\u00a0red pea coats\u00a0or camel wool coats like my mom\u00a0looks so perfect in.\u00a0 \u00a0 What a freeing feeling just being ourselves and feeling like our coat or God is a perfect fit for us.<\/p>\n
What does God feel like for you?<\/p>\n
It is the feeling of love.\u00a0 It is the feeling of my mom even still at age 37.\u00a0 It’s the look of my hubby when he comes home and smiles as our eyes meet.\u00a0 It’s the look of my kids as they stare at me in adoration…well, the younger ones at least.\u00a0 It’s what I feel like when my kids smile.\u00a0 It’s the feeling of holding a baby.\u00a0 It’s like when you stare at the ocean and just take in all of\u00a0the power.\u00a0 It’s the full\u00a0moon and stars, feeling\u00a0cosmically connected to all things.\u00a0 It’s the feeling of driving along on a\u00a0 sunny day with the radio blasting with a song you absolutely love.\u00a0 It’s dancing.\u00a0 It’s eating chocolate.\u00a0 It’s\u00a0belly laughs.\u00a0 Those soul moments,\u00a0I feel God’s presence.\u00a0 It rocks.\u00a0 Try on\u00a0that for size.<\/p>\n
You see, you get to choose the right fit, style, and color\u00a0for you…but it’s still all the same thing, just like wearing the perfect coat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
