Pain Pushes Until Vision Pulls

Posted on by
Dear Friends,
We had a wonderful time at the Visioning and Vision Board event last Saturday.
I want to share the Visioning Questions with you, so you may go into a prayerful
meditation and ASK what is it you are meant to do NOW in your life.
Although there were only two of us creating Vision Boards, we both felt
new Divine Ideas came through us and we incorporated these ideas onto our Vision Board.
It is never too late to “begin again.”  In fact, everyday we are re-creating our life.
Everyday is a New Day to begin again.  I don’t believe in missed opportunities.
Sometimes we ignore our God inner voice, however God never gives up and in time we are pushed,
pulled or plummeted into the Divine Idea and/or plan God has for us.
If you are in doubt or just don’t know what to do next in your life, here are some tips.
Sit quietly
Say a favorite prayer
Meditate and acknowledge God as your inner voice and inner intelligence.
Walk a finger labyrinth or come walk our labyrinth on your own time.
Ask yourself these questions, one at a time,  then write out the answer for each one.
(based on Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith’s Visioning Process)
What is the highest idea/God’s idea of the purpose for my life?
What is the highest idea/God’s idea of my expression and activities?
What must I become in order to welcome these high ideas into my experience?
What must I release?
What must I embrace?
What is the gift I give to the higher purpose and activities in my life?
What is the gift I receive?
Anything else?
Sit quietly with your answers
Create a Vision Board with words, photos, pictures, favorite sayings, sacred verses,
and a spiritual symbol.
View your VB everyday and affirm, “This or Something Better.”
5 Step Prayer Treatment (New Thought)
God is All There Is, in All Through All
I Am One in, as and of God
I ask, accept and declare……..
I give thanks with joy and gratitude.
I release, let go, and let God bring forth the Divine Outcome.
And So It Is Amen.
Some favorite prayers of mine are:
USE ME GOD
Show Me How to Take
Who I Am
Who I Want To Be
What I Can Do
And Use It For A Purpose
Greater Than Myself
-Dr. Marin Luther King
HAVE ME GO
Have me go where you would have me go.
Have me do what you would have me do.
Have me say what you would have me say, and to whom.
-Marianne Williamson.
GO CONFIDENTLY
Go confidently in the direction
of your dreams.
Live the life you have imagined.
-Henry David ThoreauDREAM and DREAMER
Every great dream begins with a dreamer.
Always remember you have within you
the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars
to change the world.
–         Harriet Tubman

Remember every day is a new day and  you may ‘start over’ any minute, hour, day, or month of the year.

Speak Up Stand Up – Vote!

Posted on by
Dear Friends,
I read the above quote by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and it spoke to me in many ways. Over the past few years, I have found myself speaking up and standing up for my colleagues and friends of different faiths, cultures and color.
After several printed letters to the editor of local and major newspapers and other writings, I  received several pieces of hate mail.  I still write because I have a voice and it needs to be heard.  YOU have a voice that needs to be heard.  Our constitution gives you that right.
Unfortunately a  new wave of racism and hatred has stormed this wonderful United States of America and we have a responsibility to both pray and do the human footsteps. It reminded me of the people in Germany  before WW2 when the Nazi’s were coming into power.  No one stood up and said they were criminal and immoral to ostracize the Jewish people, put a star on their clothing and then take them away never to be seen again.  Too many people were silent.
In our country today we have the same kind of hate and prejudice that preceded the war and so many other wars.  It is time to stand up and stop it!
We as citizens of the United States of America have the power to VOTE!
As this  2020 election draws closer, let us read about the candidates  and elect those who exemplify a high consciousness of honesty, integrity, compassion, justice, lawfulness, fairness, decency, trustworthiness, sincerity and goodness.
Those in office now, who do not demonstrate these qualities, are like weeds in the garden and need to be pulled out, not re-elected.
Let us NOT be silent about the things that matter to us or we will be silenced and our life will end as we know it.

New Perspective New Vision

Dear Friends,

Every new year we have the opportunity to let go of the old and bring in the NEW. With the year being 2020 we are hearing themes based on:
2020 Vision- A New Look on Life
2020 Seeing Clearing
2020 New View, New You….
I am all for having a clear and new vision for 2020!  In fact I propose we really adopt that idea and  SEE possibilities not only from our point of view, but from others as well.   We all know if people are standing on four corners of an intersection and watch an accident happen, the police interviewing each one will receive a slightly different interpretation of what happened. As the officers  put all the facts and opinions together, the whole truth begins to emerge.
In 2020 let us resolve to see clearly on the various situations, issues, and difficulties that may arise in our lives.  When we want to see only our way as being the truth, we are standing on one corner of the intersection.  When are hearts and minds are open, we can walk to the other three corners and listen to what views other people have.  Every person with a certain perspective has life experiences that affect their perspective. When we understand the person, we understand his or her view.  We do not have to agree, we just need to make an effort to understand.  Let us BE the one that brings all corners and viewpoints together to create a greater understanding of all situations.
2020 Vision – Let us see clearly and bring Truth to Light.

NEW DAY NEW YEAR

Posted on by
Dear Friends,
Today is a NEW Day and a NEW Year! Let us be joyful and glad in it!
When  we wake and realize we are still here, we know there is still wondrous things to be done, places to go and sights to see. We have been gifted another day on earth to BE an emissary of God, Spirit, Divine Love.
 
What will you do with your day?
Remember you are both an emissary of God and God Itself showing up as YOU.
As the quote above says, “…what you long for already exists within you!”
Today may take you on a path that will fill you with Joy, Peace, Understanding and Service. Listen to your heart, without judgement and filters.  Step into what is yours to do today.
 
What if you do not know what is yours to do today?
Then just be happy and grateful.  When we surrender unto God’s timing and will, we can relax and know whatever is intended for us to do, will be shown to us in God’s perfect time and way.  There are spaces, pauses and quiet times between activities.  Enjoy this time of serenity.  God never intends for us to be ‘going & doing’ 24/7.  We must heed the quiet, meditative times to restore and renew ourselves for the next wondrous action in our lives.
Enjoying Today,
Abigail and Steve
