“Prison Break” Part I Join me as we begin our Journey and break out of the Prison within us

06 Oct “Prison Break” Part I Join me as we begin our Journey and break out of the Prison within us

As I boarded the ferry toward Alcatraz on a sunny July morning my thoughts quickly went to those men who no doubt spent countless hours, days, and years planning their escape. From the Island I could see the Golden Gate Bridge, the city of San Francisco and hear the waves hitting the shores of Alcatraz.

The audio tour was amazing. Walking through the building where the inmates lived, ate and worked while having the story narrated by the inmates, guards and family members brought life inside Alcatraz to reality. Seeing the escape tunnel I thought of the countless hours of planning and digging while they dreamed of freedom.

Have you lived your life in a prison of sorts? We may not be living on Alcatraz, locked behind prison bars but we can live in a prison within our own minds.

Join me as we begin our PRISON BREAK journey.
What is the battle going on inside of you today? Are you overwhelmed with “LIFE”?
When you wake each day what is the first thought that goes through your mind? I encourage you to read “86,400”

Do thoughts circle your mind over and over and over? Do you find yourself playing out a thousand different ways that a conversation or situation could go? Do you obsess over the “what ifs”? No doubt we have all experienced this at some point in our lives or perhaps you are in the middle of this right now. I’m convinced that the battle begins and ends in our minds.

Whoever said “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” sure was wrong.
Words spoken in anger and hatred tear and destroy us from the inside out.

I share my story not for sympathy but for compassion of others who may have similar experiences and to point all us toward HEALING!

My prison break started several years ago. I found myself in a deep dark hole. Everything looked great on the outside, BUT I was dying inside, I had a huge deep oozing sore deep inside of me.

Healing started when I learned to LOVE myself as my Heavenly Father, Our God in Heaven loves me. Can you fathom that?
My heavenly Father, he knows my faults, he knows my failures, he knows my weaknesses yet he loves me beyond my comprehension. Let that sink in, we are loved unconditionally! Look at yourself in the mirror and say “I am loved”!!

Stayed tuned for Part 2
