Endurance ~ Initiation of the Sacred Heart

Endurance

Endurance

When you wake this morning & ask

“How much more is required of me?”

“How deep is my soul’s reservoir & what is my tender heart’s capacity?”

Know This.

Peace will engulf you when you are ready to release that which no longer serves you.

IAM the thorn which pierces the ♥Sacred Heart.

           A mystic once told me “Rebecca, endurance is part of your life path….revealing many life lessons for you…. and for others.”     Let’s just say I wasn’t very excited about this disclosure.

I took that photo because I knew something extraordinary was happening in front of me on that kitchen table.

As the final arrangement of the Triunes were nearing completion, It occurred to me there would be two cards left over. There were a total of 56 cards  and simple math showed me two would stand alone…. not belonging in a triune.    Was I supposed to write one more so it would be ‘right’ ?

No” came to me loud and clear.  “They will become the beginning and the end of your journey.”
