Last night Michael and I were robbed. Someone broke into our house somewhere between 1:30 and 5:30 as we slept away upstairs. They came upstairs and took my suitcase that was packed for my trip to Kansas City and my computer bag. As soon as we discovered it, we called the police and began the process of cancelling cards and accounts. We stayed busy with details.
As I have had some time to think about it on the flight to KC, I find myself moving in and out of anger, fear, deep questioning and trust. They took some things, but did they really rob me? Here I sit at Unity Village, warm, comfortable, things taken care of and grateful that we are safe. I feel anxious at the thought of being in my house, but even that poses the question-what is true and what can anyone really take from us? I know I will probably go in and out of feelings of fear, anger, gratitude and trust as I process through this. I do know that I am grateful for spiritual principle and practice. I found myself giving thanks for things like getting my calendar and my clothes back and having an extra GPS that they didn't find. I also found myself praying for whoever did this that they know that they are cherished children of God-loved and supported. I am also grateful for this public computer since mine was taken last night as well.
