More

For your consideration…

I am pretty sure that if you are here and read this blog you are searching for spiritual truths. You suspect…are pretty sure…that there is “MORE.”

Our message today is about pursuing the “MORE.” We don’t have to wait for it to unveil itself. Sure everything is in Divine Timing but that is the case whether we are active participants or not.

We often hear, I often write, that we have Divine Guidance 24/7. We just have to open ourselves up to it. We have to let it take the lead versus our ego. The MORE is that we can more actively interface with it. We can ask and then let go. I am sure you have heard the saying “Let go and let God.” And the is right. But no where in letting go, does it mean we can not active participants. The letting go is letting go of the outcome not the active participation.

Today we are told and encouraged to interface with our Guidance. Ask, listen, ask, listen, ask, listen. Rather than just ask a question, carry on a conversation. If something is not clear, ask for clarification. If you wonder about something, ask. Sometimes I forget this so maybe you do too.

A few years ago, my  youngest daughter had moved to the Pacific Northwest. She kind of liked someone but I was pretty sure he was not the right guy for her. I worried that she was out there by herself lonely and sad…searching…and I was too far away to be the comfort I felt she needed. As I often do when I have a problem, I sit in meditation with it. I gave my concern over and plain is day I was told, “Don’t worry, we have a great guy picked out for her. She already knows him.” Of course, I was elated. I got reassurance plus a relative time frame. I didn’t tell her right away. I waited for a “natural” opportunity. I wasn’t sure how she would receive the information. I was excited that she was excited. When I told her it was someone she already knew, she asked me who it was. Hmmm….I had asked for help with my concern. But I did not carry on and have the conversation. I had simply said “thank you.” and ended the meditation. She could not believe it. “You didn’t ask who!!!” She then asked me to go back and do that. I did and was given the name, “James.” I thought she had a friend named James but wasn’t sure. Still I relayed the message to which she said, “You got it wrong. We are just friends.” “OK. You asked my to ask. I did. And that is what I was told.” That was five or six years ago. They just celebrated their one year wedding anniversary.

That is a long story but I think a good example of being an active versus inactive participant….asking questions versus carrying on a conversation with our Guidance. We have questions because we are seekers. We know that there is “MORE” and we look for the answers. However we do that is perfect. But today we are reminded that sometimes the easiest way to get answers is to simply have a conversation with our Guidance.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…

-Affirm…“I am loved.”

-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Experiment…start a conversation with your Guidance. Practice it. I am sure you are going to be very surprised.

What made me smile yesterday…

-A bright beautiful day.

-A day at home getting tasks done.

-Talking with Alex and Mac.

-My Angels Teach group started a Medicine Walk. Our first day was yesterday. It is very cool. We did it via Zoom and I did it out on the patio. Very cool.
