“Intuition is a spiritual faculty and does not explain, but simply points the way.” -Florence Scovel Shinn
Dear Friends,
I have a challenge with a family member and decided to drive up to Santa Ana from Poway to talk with him, and perhaps re-store and re-establish a relationship. Needless to say I was anxious about the meeting especially since it would be a surprise for him.
The day I decided to travel was rainy, foggy and cold. In my morning prayers and meditation I asked for Divine guidance and safety. I envisioned a ring of protection around me, and everyone on the road. I know wherever I go God is and all is well. Even with my affirmative prayers, I still had this funny anxious feeling inside. There was even a brief passing thought of, “I might have a flat tire on the freeway.” Needless to say I brushed off the thought as fear talking and barreled through my morning getting ready. I thought the rain was making me feel uneasy.
Once ready, I left and got on one of the freeways up to Santa Ana. On a good day it would take at least a 1 1/2 hours and that day with the increment weather I thought it would take at least 2-3 hours. The freeway was packed with cars going north and south. The rain was pouring and I already noticed cars pulled to the side of the road. I also felt a jerk or tug from my car. I didn’t know what that was and continued on. I seemed to be surrounded by big trucks and I had to move safely away from them. Once I felt the road was more open, I had an opportunity to get off the freeway. For some reason I just could NOT go any farther. Something within me just said “Get off and go home.” I had a feeling of relief and my anxiety diminished once off the freeway. I thought, “Well, I am not driving up to Santa Ana today.”
As I got close to home, my dashboard light started to flash a warning sign telling me my tires were very low. I immediately went to a gas station where a kind man filled them up. YES, all were low. As I left the gas station, I realized my intuition had been kicking in ALL morning and I had dismissed it.
Perhaps I would have had a flat tire on the 78 or 5 freeway. I will never know and I am eternally grateful for the answer to my morning prayers. I am always safe and secure in the loving arms of God!
Lesson. Do not try to bull doze your way through a situation when all your intuitive feelings are flashing NO. My feelings of wanting so badly to reconcile with this person, over ruled my normal intuitive listening. I am so grateful the rest of the day was easy and effortless, when it could have taken a turn for the worst.
I will pay more attention to the still small voice of God the next time I decide to drive up to Santa Ana to see this person. Even though I really want our relationship restored, I must always let go and let God determine the How, When and Way.
“We do not need to be specific in the details as to the how and the way, but we must be definite and concrete in our mental acceptance of the results we expect to experience.” Ernest Holmes “The Magic of the Mind.”
I continue to thank God all day for the Love, Protection and Divine Direction in my life. Thank you God!
Grateful for God’s Guidance
