Reason To Sing

Chapter Forty-Two

Searching for God

Gord and I connect on a deep spiritual level. We are both on a
sacred journey and it’s one of the passions that really draws us
closer. We love to curl up on the couch in front of the fireplace
and talk about life; why we think we’re here and why we think
we’ve met each other. We both agree there is something far
greater than the two of us. You might say we’re seekers looking
for a place to belong, to call home, and someone to journey
alongside.
I’ve been through my own stages of seeking so I’m certainly
no apprentice. I’ve always been attracted to the spiritual realm.
Whether it was my family’s Ouija Board or my fascination
with channeling the dead (yes, I tried many times as a young
girl!), the divine and metaphysical have always intrigued me.
My brother Jimmy could transport himself out of his own body
with self-hypnosis. He tried to teach me, but I never had much
luck. Billy once visited an old, haunted house that belonged
to his buddy’s grandmother. He said the dead grandmother
showed up and really spooked them.
What I’ve been experiencing since the accident is definitely
spiritual. Now that I know for sure that Hudson and I are truly
over, I finally feel free. FREE for the first time in my life! It’s
as if somebody has literally turned the cage upside down and
dumped me out. Crawling out of that cold dark ditch without
even a scratch was nothing short of a miracle! I knew that night
I had to surrender every part of my life. I figured I must be here
on this earth for something. Something much bigger than me.
