Growing pains

My teenage son is going through what parents from ages before us have labelled a “difficult stage”. His hormones are running wild, his body is rapidly changing, he is no longer a boy and still not quite a man.

I have watched him grow from that baby that entered the world nearly fourteen years ago. I can still remember the first time I saw his beautiful face, that memory I hold on to in moments, when he appears to dislike everyone and everything around him.

I know these are just GROWING PAINS.

But as I sit and write to you, I realise that Growing Pains do not seem to leave our lives, even at the age of thirty two. I listen to my Grandmother and she too, still has Growing Pains. Not in the sense of aching joints, but that of the mind, our emotions, we have spiritual Growing Pains, as we learn and grow closer to our Higher Selves.

Ascension is happening at a rapid rate, I personally feel far quicker than originally believed. Ascension is truly magnificent, a very much needed time of events for all of us, a light at the end of the tunnel.

But to get there, we will go through lessons, (as painful as they may seem at the time) which will help us grow. Our reward, well a world of peace, of un conditional love, joy, divine wisdom and the ability to be true to ourselves and others.

Growing Pains really not need be the label given to my thirteen going on “fifty something” son. Growing Pains are part of all of our lives and something that maybe if we recognise with the same sense of humour that we used to carry us through our own teenage years or through the years of the teenagers around us, turning the lesson that each and every one of us maybe receiving right now, into something light. We can with the right frame of mind, courage and strength, allow ourselves to grow from the pain.
