Do you comprehend the guidance that is given you from above?
From inside you? We all get guidance from God, Source,
our Higher Self, Angels, or even Beloved Masters like Jesus,
Mary, Hilarion, etc.
WE are all ONE so it matters not what name we give our Guidance.
The point is: do we really understand what we are given?
Last winter was so brutal that I ended up with tennis elbow from all
the ice chopping which was so painful and took 3 months to heal.
I made a commitment to myself that I would not spend another winter
in the North. I was going to find a way to be in a warmer climate for
this particular season.
I began right away looking into where I would like to stay and what
type of housing would I get. There are townspeople who go to Florida
and South Carolina every winter so I looked to them for names of places
and Realtors.
Two months ago, as I was entering my bedroom, I heard without a doubt:
“No Florida”. It was so loud that it shocked me and I could not get
centered to receive any more information. So…..I thought
I would look into South Carolina which is not Florida. I discovered
that the winters are cool there. I mean in the 50’s in January and February.
You would need to wear a jacket to walk the beach and most people do not
walk the beach because of the cool wind.
I made the decision that it was not for me because I want warmth and the
ability to go without a jacket. If I have to bundle up then I might as well
stay in New England. I just want 3 months of warmth and freedom from
wearing all those clothes.
I then thought that maybe I had “heard” wrong. Boy, I know how to justify
getting what I want. Do you do that? I contacted Realtors and called
some Parks in Florida.
I was offered a two bedroom and two bath condo for $1,000 a month which
I now realize was cheap but required a three month commitment. That offer
came from the sister of my priest.I could not do that amount financially
and was not able to find anyone who could share it with me.
A Realtor sent me pictures of three mobile homes. When I opened one, I
gasped (out loud). It was a white trailer with purple trim and even white and
purple awnings. I am known as the Purple Lady for those of you who do not
know me. No carpeting, only linoleum and hard wood floors….just what
chemical sensitivities required.
It was only $7,000 but the lot rent was $400 a month which amounted to a
commitment of $5,000 a year. My heart sank and although I mentally
maneuvered my expenses versus my income, I could not make that kind
of commitment.
I was so sure that when I received that picture, that it was a message from
Spirit that I was supposed to be there. The feeling in my heart usually signifies
that Spirit is saying yes. Men call it listening to their gut. Part of me is chuckling
as I become aware of how I was trying to manipulate things to get what I
wanted or what I thought was right for me.
Three days ago, I sat in meditation with the express focus of getting some
answers. My guidance told me again that I was not to go to Florida but I
could not get any explanation of why. My feminine side wanted explanations
and I conjured up all kinds of reasons. Perhaps there would be a disaster in
Florida and I was being kept safe or….perhaps something would happen
here in my home and I would be needed here.
My heart wanted to be in that purple and white mobile home with the beach
only minutes away and my mind did not want to accept that it would not
happen. Why would Spirit send me such an incentive as that gorgeous
mobile home if I was not supposed to go?
I finally came to the conclusion that I needed to “surrender and trust”. My
faith in following Spirit was being tested again. I do not like tests even
though I have faced and surmounted many such tests. None of us like
these opportunities to strengthen our muscle of Faith. It is uncomfortable.
There are not many people I can talk to about such things and
being a woman, I needed to bounce all of this off someone who
would understand.
Last night, I swallowed hard and took the plunge. I raised my hand
during a conference and asked two spiritual teachers and healers
about my quandary. Both Jennifer McLean and Dee Wallace
confirmed that the message I got was true. I was not to go to Florida
and I had been given an opportunity to really believe and listen more
deeply to my own guidance.
When we “hear” from our guides it is us who need to interpret
the meaning and sometimes we are just too involved to be clear.
We do need each other as we get “stuck” in our own stuff and
cannot see the forest for the trees. As shy as I am about asking
for help, I am grateful that there are people I can ask.
Why or why do I need validation from others about the advice from
my Guidance? When Jesus or Mother Mary give advice to other people
through me, I do not need to validate it. It just comes and I “know” it is true
and so do they.
In my meditation this morning I came to realize that when I give
guidance to others, it is “they” who interpret it. As humans, we only
hear that which we need to hear. That is why a teacher(like Jesus)
can bring through teachings for many people at the same time and
each person is able to understand it with their own heart.
I want to share with you something that uplifted me and
brought smiles to my face. This is a keeper that you can
share and also watch again to brighten your spirits.
