Testimony Service! - "Clouds happen in the sky; but, it is still the sky"


by Akilah Peynado of www.akilahpeynado.com

I know, I know; but see with me on this one... because SIS has a testimony. I'm gonna tell it!!! Insert *tambourines, foot stomping, and hand clapping* right here. But first:

So as you know we are rocking and rolling in Nikki’s Meditation group and Book club. I can’t believe it as we are almost finished with this ​current book​ and there is a chance Nikki might introduce another book into the group. At this point, any book she picks will be awesome; but, I am really hoping it is something by ​Wayne Dyer​ cause he is my jam too.

I really do not care if I sound like a broken record in saying, “If you have not decided to ​join in you are missing out.” If I said it once, I’ve said it a million times and I mean it even more, get yo’self in the group on Mondays. Even if you can not join every week (because yes life happens) at least give it a try 3 Mondays a month LOL! 

My Whew Moment:

If you have been following my reviews of the group you will notice that I have a “stopped-me-right-in-my-tracks, let-me-let-this-marinate-for-a-little-longer” moment in every session I am graced to be in. Well, this week that moment happened a little earlier than expected. Normally I try to get into the flow and really get into the quiet because meditation IS the business. If you have not tried it yet, do yourself a favor and get with it. However, this time when Nikki said, ​“Clouds happen in the sky; but, it is still the sky and waves happen in the ocean; but it is still the ocean”​, let me tell you, I almost shed a tear because, I think I kind of forgot my “place” over the last two weeks, and your girl was beginning to slip.

Testimony Time:

So, for some reason, I have been feeling stuck, stagnant... ummm hmm...let me see: unlike myself. If I were to give you one direct reason, I couldn’t. I’m talking about just feeling like overall, “blah”. Usually, I am NOT like that. I am the encourager, the strong one, the centered one and I just couldn’t find the Love. I knew love was there. As we have learned, Love is always there waiting patiently, with open arms for us..for me. I could hear Love in the background, saying “I’ll let you have your funk. I’ll give you your moment. I am ready when you are.” I’m not kidding, I could definitely feel that. Even now I am grateful for knowing that I am never alone.

In the group on Monday night, I needed to hear that, although, I am going to experience being rattled, upset, flustered and confused, I am STILL Love, I am still that ocean and I am still that sky. How could I not feel better after that?! Thank you Nikki.


I’ll stop here. I know I didn’t get to touch on the ​book​ chapters that we read and they were beautifully written by Joel Goldsmith. Remember, I do not give all of the goodies here, if you want the whole experience you have to join us. Curious? ​Click here​.

With Love always,
