Me: Hello! Looking for guidance here - can you help me with the crossroad ahead of me? God: Yes! I can help. But first you must forget what you think you know about where your life is going.
Me: Um! okay! That's not what I asked.
God: Then why did you ask me in the first place?
Me: Touche`
God: Good! Now follow your instinct and trust that you have been taught how to be logical, self aware, and remember your boundaries.
Me: Right, but that's what i need help in - i need the answer so I can start doing those things.
God: I don't give answers i give blessings in disguise.
Me: Can you disguise a blessing in money?
God: (silence)
Me: Okay, Okay that wasn't funny - sorry! But seriously I'm torn on what I should do.
God: What you should do is trust me then you will trust yourself - via your answer.
Me: (silence)
God: I gave you gifts. These gifts are not to be put on a shelf like awards but used to answer your own questions and your earthly dilemmas. These gifts are also tools to communicate with your own being, your core. I will be your shelter for clarity but you must not act as if you are weak - i gave you strength in spirit - use it!

Um wow! I have a lot to say about this. And not in the safe commentary kind of way. So, I'll be back tomorrow for some good conversation via blogger comments.
Can't Wait!
So first of all, this is amazing! I want to hack into your blog and add a blue line of commentary with my name because I swear I could have something to say in each part of this conversation.
I can't tell you how many times I myself have opted to (last option, by the way-awful) call on God in my time of questioning. It's funny He is always the one willing to help, but I'm always the one not only not willing to ask, but also not willing to let go enough to let Him do what he needs to do (wow run on sentence much). There are times when I literally know what He would say and that is the sole reason I don't ask anything. I want to try it all my way first. You would really think the consistent black and blue coloring of my bum would teach me otherwise, but no.
I love that you call attention to that which He has already instilled in us. If I would use these gifts rather than running from them, I swear I would have an easier go of things. But the truth is, I do wish God and I could sit down and have a nice little negotiation about what I want Him to give me versus what He knows I need.
Sometimes He simply calls us to trust and continue on. It always seems to be the times in which I would rather pull the covers over my head that He wants me to shake it off, put my running shoes on, and tackle my next obstacle. And you know what, good for Him...because we all need a little fire under our bums at times. We all need to remember that He has given us the tools we need to figure this crazy life out. He doesn't want to see us hurt, or fail, or give up...but in order for us to thrive, succeed, and continue to fight on, we must remember the strength within...that which He has instilled in us!!
Amen sister!!
I laugh and nod my head in agreement with everything you just said!
Most of my greatest spiritual soul-searching conversations are when i throw the jokes aside and come back to reality. There are times when i sit on a beach and look at the clouds or on the edge of my bed as i stare out the window waiting for my soul to slow down and listen. I listen to what i already know! There is nothing new about Life - there is noting new about God. But we as silly humans don't look at what alredy is and what has been for millions of years. Our calm is in conversations or prayer or whatever you want to title it!
Our clarity is in remembering we are human.
