Where Is My Visual Aid

OK…I admit I don’t take hints very well. I never have. It must be the blonde in me. When I first started my spiritual journey I was only connected to God through prayer. I did all the talking. Then I started to notice answers to my prayers showed up in conversations with people, someone on TV, or reading from a book. I found it was to hard to get still and be quiet to listen to God.

Then I found meditation. Being the perfectionist that I am I went to the library to get all the tapes and books I could get my hands on to learn how to meditate. I learned meditation is when I listen to God. Prayer is when I talk to God. Very big difference. I didn’t get very good at it until I joined a group that practiced meditation on a weekly basis. I signed up.

Until meditation I wandered around asking God for visual aids and I got them. Today I ask for a clear visual aid from God because I still have the blonde syndrome. I would love to say I meditate everyday but I don’t. True in depth meditation only comes when I am in a lot of stress over a situation and want peace. Then I take time to stop and meditate properly. Most of the time I pray and just be still as I am going to sleep. I get answers in my sleep too. People ask sometime, how do you know it is an answer from God. I say, because if it was my answer I wouldn’t have needed to ask for help I would have known what to do.

I have many spiritual tools today to live my life from a place of peace and joy. No matter what the circumstances are around me. My job is to suit up and show up and do my part and sometimes that is as simple as turning it over. With my spiritual tool box there is always another tool to achieve this as long as I do the foot work.

I was told to not get attached to a certain answer or way of doing something as God would reveal to me the perfect answer. His will. Yes I still have my own free will and when I chose it God just sits on the curb waiting for me to take his hand and continue on my journey with him as my pilot. I try to hang on to that hand all day long and the more I practice the better I get at it.

When I feel alone or scared I just yell out Where is my clear visual aid? I always get it.
GO GOD
