I Feel Right With God

Dreams are so much more than simply images. They are not just a television set on the back of our eyelids projected by the mind that we passively watch. They are memories of our active experiences in the greater worlds of Spirit and one way that God can teach and bless us. Sometimes a dream might contain a profound truth but leave no visual memory but rather, a knowingness. Do not discount these.

It was early March and I could hear the cold biting wind outside nipping at the windows of the log cabin we were staying in. I was in that cozy place between the dream world and the world where my physical body lay resting. I tried to gently go over my dream so I could record it in my dream journal. Eyes still closed, I continued to stay in that space, savoring it. No images of the adventures I had drifted into my consciousness, just a feeling. A deep solid as a rock, sink-your-teeth-into kind of feeling. As I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and pulled my dream journal closer to write, I lay there stumped. I had no words to write. I could not remember any details of the experience I had just left.

Journaling my dreams is one way I demonstrate gratitude for the sacred experiences I have been given, so pulling my pen cap off I began to write. “I don’t remember my dream, but I woke up feeling right with God.” I climbed down the ladder to the main cabin area and after a warm breakfast of home cooked oatmeal we gathered at the table for class. We began our small class by sharing our dreams from the night before with our teacher Del Hall.

Soon it was my opportunity to share. I felt a little sheepish thinking I did not have much to share with the group. Del listened with full attention as I shared not remembering my dream but waking up and feeling right with God. Del’s eyes smiled as he said, “one of the most important aspects of a dream is what God is trying to communicate to us.” He continued, “most people would love to wake up feeling right with God.” I sat there jaw slightly dropped. “I feel right with God.” The gravity and magnitude of those seemingly simple words slowly sunk in. My heart overflowed with love. I was immediately glad I had spoken up and shared my dream, and even more grateful to Del for personally helping me to understand the gift of love I had been given.

To this day I cherish that dream. I often revisit that moment where I remember being snuggled warm in my sleeping bag and nestled in God’s Heart. That feeling so lovingly placed in my heart continues to bless me and provide me with spiritual nourishment, bringing me comfort and strength when the storms in life make the surface waves choppy and I seek something solid under my feet.

Back in the cabin at the Nature Awareness School Del’s discourse on dreams continued as we learned how to become more fluent in the language of the Divine, to better understand the subtle inner communication we all have. Del taught us many things that morning such as sometimes all we remember when we wake is a sound or a color. At other times we wake with just a feeling or a knowing that a personal message from God was placed directly in our hearts. I felt a week’s worth of learning and truth was imparted into our hearts in the following hours, and before we could blink it was time for lunch.

Sitting around that table, warmed by the steadily burning fire in the wood stove and the truth in Del’s words, I learned the importance of trusting my experiences. I learned the importance of having a teacher to personally help me understand the blessings I have been given. Especially when it is a “simple dream,” like waking up feeling right with God.

Reassurance During Pregnancy

The pearl of this testimony is the blessing of having the Prophet as your spiritual guide. He is capable of teaching you here in the physical and meeting with you in the dream worlds. Having a spiritual teacher of this magnitude as you journey through life and home to God is a profound blessing.

Read stories about how others have been blessed by this sacred connection.

______

Ten years ago when I found out that I was pregnant with my second child I felt very worried, anxious, and concerned because I had had a second mammogram before realizing I was pregnant. I was consumed with fear and worry not knowing if there would potentially be any harmful effects.

While experiencing these extreme emotions, I had a dream on 8/29/04, where Del, my Spiritual Guide came to me. He said, “Stop worrying; it really counteracts. Focus on love and be positive.” I woke up released from the worry that had been consuming me. I was completely free to move on and to enjoy my pregnancy, and to trust that my baby would be OK. I chose to do just that.

Three months later I was put on bed rest for the remaining four months. During this time I knew I was in the Hand of God and we were both being taken care of. The dream gave me a knowing that I was not alone, but being watched over. I was then able to view and experience my time on bed rest as a gift. Although there was a few incidents and moments of major concern, and even hospitalization – deep in my heart I felt at peace. On March 8th our son was born five weeks early, but healthy and strong.

I remember going to the doctor for my one week after delivery checkup where I was given a clean bill of health. I stood and cried, and cried. They were not tears of sadness or trauma or even tears due to hormonal fluctuations from giving birth, but because we survived and because God was with us in every moment. God was taking care of us no matter what the situation looked like. The knowingness that we were in God’s Hands brought on an overflow of appreciation that poured out of me. I thank you God for the gift of my family.

True Freedom

July 4th is a time when this country and those in it take a moment to reflect on freedom. A long time student of the Nature Awareness School did just this. She looked at the difference between earthly freedoms and ones more spiritual in nature and found it is when we transition from the “condensing” effects of fear, to the boundless state of Soul that we can experience freedom – true freedom.  Enjoy!

These inspiring resources can help you on your way to spiritual freedom.

______

TRUE FREEDOM

As I was making plans to celebrate Independence Day this July 4th, I began to reflect on freedom and what it means to be free…truly free. The individual rights and freedoms we enjoy in this country (and maybe sometimes take for granted) are gifts from God. As an American, I can also more broadly exercise another gift from God, my free will. A person living here can pretty much live whatever kind of life he or she wishes to live, so long as they follow the law. If someone is willing to work for it, he could start a business, obtain a skill or get an education; buy a house and cars; have as many children as he wishes; travel the world, and take advantage of all the luxuries technology and modern society has to offer. These can all be positive things and help make life easier, but is this all there is to freedom?

In my twenties I discovered backpacking and took a real liking to the simplicity of carrying everything you needed on your back, but I was afraid of the dark and being alone in the woods. I kept thinking a wild animal was lurking behind every tree. My mind played tricks on me and falling asleep was often difficult. I heard every rustle of the trees and sound of the night. This kept me on guard most of the time, and even though I continued to go on these trips, I wasn’t free to fully relax into the peace and stillness of nature until I got over these fears.

Fear, guilt, worry, feeling unworthy, greed, anger, lust, vanity; these are jailers of Soul – the Real You. There may be an appearance of freedom in our outer life or we may think we are free, but if caught in one of these negative states or “passions of the mind” it is like being in a prison of our own making. Most often we are blind to it. These things sap goodness from life and steal joy from experiences. They prevent us from being able to express what’s in our hearts to those we love the most, or make it difficult to ask for and accept help. They make us feel we are not good enough or have to prove ourselves. They hold us back from pursuing our innermost dreams and from being the best we can be. True freedom is being free of these balls and chains we’ve been dragging around with us forever.

It wasn’t until I began attending spiritual retreats at the Nature Awareness School that I recognized how fear was impacting me. It took the light shed by Divine Spirit to help me see what I could not see on my own. It was not just the fears surrounding backpacking either, fear had bled into other areas of my life as well. I also realized I had a lot of insecurity that was hurting my relationships and influencing my choices and decisions in a negative way. Through these retreats I received help from my spiritual teacher Del in letting go of all this and finding true freedom. Freedom to take responsibility, to make conscious choices and to create a life that brings me happiness (I mean deep-in-the-bones happiness), independent of the mainstream trends and popular opinion. This has inspired me to pursue the dearest dreams in my heart.

It was during these retreats that I learned about Gratitude. Gratitude is the secret of love and love opens your heart! When your heart is open, and if you allow it, God’s love will work miracles in your life and release you from all that holds you back. It’s really true. This Divine love can heal, uplift, give comfort and solace, bring peace and clarity, find balance and harmony, re-kindle the joy and zest for living, develop confidence, and activate Soul’s creative spark that helps find solutions to any problem life may present. God has transformed my life in these ways and has woven his blessings into my daily life in such a way that everywhere I look, I see evidence of His love and how he wants me (and all his children) not just happy, but Truly Free.

Lonely No More

Even during the times when there is no one else in your life physically, if you focus on gratitude it can ease the loneliness. Gratitude for your blessings opens your heart and helps you to recognize God’s loving presence. This presence is ALWAYS there whether you feel it or not. When you recognize in a very real sense that you are never alone, joy will follow.

Be inspired and uplifted by incredible stories of God’s loving presence in our new books.

______

I am single now for the first time in many years. I came home from work one day and was struck by an intense loneliness. I realized fairly quickly that I was focusing on it and decided to change that. Life is given to us, moment to moment by God. I sang HU, a love song to God. It is a pure prayer saying “Thank you, I Love you.” What better way to start living in the moment.

I got up afterwards and opened my drapes. It was raining outside so I grabbed a chair and sat under my covered porch. I breathed in the damp air, listening to the sound of the rain on the deck above and in the leaves in the trees. The colors of the woods around me were vibrant in the rain, seemingly especially alive.

My eyes were drawn to my grill and I smiled. I had a roast thawed out and really savored it slow-cooked, joined by a red potato and broccoli smothered in butter. I looked around my apartment as I cooked, really appreciating where I live, paying attention to details that I don’t “see” because it’s there everyday. I was not focusing on my usual “to-do” list, but just being aware of the moment and where I was.

I had a nudge, a gentle touch by the Divine, to write the experience down and share it. As I did I realized I had not been lonely for hours, and why would I be? Living in the moment with the Blessings of God all around me, strongly feeling and experiencing the presence of my inner guide the whole time. I even remembered a movie from the night before that spoke about living in the moment. I am so loved by God that I was given a heads up, and I was glad I listened.

I shared this story with a friend, who wisely said, “Loneliness is focusing on what you don’t have.” It is so true. I am reminded to live my life with purpose, every moment a gift of love from a Living God. Thank You!

Dad Helped Me From Heaven

Dads can shower their children with love in many ways. It may come as a smile, or pat on the back, words of encouragement or wisdom, quality time together, or in the following example – a reminder to check the oil in the lawn mower. The fact that the reminder came in a dream after the author’s father had passed demonstrates how this love transcends physical life.

______

While growing up I loved my dad dearly. He was loving, gracious, and had a good nature. He taught my brother and I many outdoor sports such as skiing, ice-skating, canoeing, sailing, archery, and shooting at cans with his .22 rifle. We spent many hours enjoying the outdoors with him and my mom, camping and doing many of those things that he taught us. As a teenager I would help him in his carpentry business by painting and staining wood trim. I enjoyed hanging out with him in his workshop while I helped him with projects and we talked about all sorts of things. After my brother went off to college we bought season passes at a ski slope nearby and we spent many hours skiing together. I was his precious little girl and I always knew that he loved me. I thought that he would always be there for me.

I was seventeen years old when my dad was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. The doctor told us that with radiation treatments he might live for another five years. Back then, in the 1970’s, no one talked with the patient about how serious their condition was or that they might die. But somehow he knew. Because we didn’t talk about it, we never got a chance to say goodbye. Two months after the diagnosis, even with the treatments, he was in the hospital dying, unable to communicate with us. During his time in the hospital he visited me in a dream. He was going up and down in an elevator. I saw him, though we didn’t speak. Somehow I knew that it was real and we were really together.

A few days after he died I planned to mow the lawn. He had given me a nice new bright yellow lawn mower about a year before, after the old one quit working. He even put on a miniature license plate with my name on it. A loving touch. That night I had a very clear dream. He came to remind me to check the oil in the lawnmower. The next day before starting up the mower I remembered the dream, so I checked the oil. The oil compartment was bone dry! Thanks dad for your help in a dream! Back then I didn’t know whom to thank for giving me the dream, but I was grateful for it.

Over twenty years later after getting married and having two children, I began going to the Nature Awareness School with my husband. I learned about the Prophet of the times and that he blesses us with dreams. One night I had a dream where I was told that I was now allowed to see my father. He appeared before me and I could see his facial features very clearly. He looked strong and healthy, like he was before he got sick. We hugged and hugged for a long time. He felt so real and so solid. It was so good to see him, to hug him, and to feel his love again. I felt such intense joy seeing him. I said that it had been twenty-two years since I last saw him. Gosh, twenty-two years! When we stopped hugging, he disappeared. What a gift that was! It was real. We were two Souls seeing each other again after almost twenty-two years. Thank you, Prophet!

And now, for the rest of the story. Several years after that dream I learned, through many awake dreams and a knowingness, that he had reincarnated into another body as someone with which I have a very close relationship. God has blessed us with being together again. Our love continues, beyond death and into life again!

Dream House

One of the greatest blessings in life is being given clarity about a decision we are trying to make. To be able to move ahead and know with confidence we are traveling in the right direction is such a blessing. Dreams are just one way for God to comfort us with this clarity and peace.  – Enjoy

______

Last spring, I was looking for a house. I found one that I was pretty sure I wanted to make an offer on, but was still on the fence and having trouble making the decision. That night, I asked for a dream that would help me get more clarity.

I dreamed that a counselor came to see me. This is someone I knew and he was helping me learn to make decisions that were right for me. He sat down, and I started telling him about the house. I started saying “I don’t know” about something that I was unsure of. The counselor called me on it and said I was being indecisive again. I slowed down and started to speak more clearly from my heart. Then I said that I wanted to make an offer.

As soon as I made the decision, I felt so much peace and confidence. The peace and confidence remained when I woke up and all the way to closing. This dream was an answer to a prayer. I asked for a dream and I was heard. The answer was so clear and so perfect for me. I am very grateful for this dream.

Answering the Call of Spirit

Whether physically young or old you are first and foremost Soul, an eternal spiritual being here to learn more about love. None of the ups and downs of life will ever change this. This is also true of your neighbor, so find time to love one another. Listening with an open heart qualifies.

_____

Early one Sunday morning I drove to the store for an errand. Part way there I got a sudden nudge to turn the car immediately into another store. I only had about a two second window to decide whether to turn or not. Had I passed the turn I would probably have kept on going to my original destination, without giving it a second thought.

Throughout my years at the Nature Awareness School, I have learned to listen and trust these quiet, often subtle, tuggings at my heart. In the past I often let my agenda and my itinerary override input from the Divine. But time after time I had experienced and heard others who benefited from following an inner nudge. Spirit speaks to us continually to guide, protect, and to offer us opportunities to help others. I said, “Yes” without hesitating, accepting the adventure.

I went into the store, not knowing what to expect, but knowing there must be some reason to be here. An elderly man was handing out flyers by the door. We did not make eye contact, but I wondered if he was the reason for my nudge to enter the store. Not sure where to go from here, I stopped at the customer service area near the entrance and began to look over one of the weekly specials, listening for further guidance from the Prophet. I felt drawn to this man, feeling like there was an opportunity to interact with him, so I began walking towards him. I was not sure what I would say or how he would react. He must have felt it too, because he bridged the short distance between us and handed me a flyer. I greeted him and we began to chat.

It seemed like he had been waiting a long time to talk with someone. I wondered how many times I encountered other Souls without ever really acknowledged them, accepting what they offered with no further thought. Bypassing any of the usual introductions or social niceties, the man began to speak to me, Soul to Soul. I listened. His wife had died ten years ago, he told me, and he couldn’t afford to live off of social security. An inner nudge encouraged me to remain open to what he had to share. I had never met this man before but he shared with me as easily as if we had known one another for years. He had turned eighty-four last June and he’d been in this area since he was fourteen years old. He happily recalled working on a farm for six dollars a week and buying a new suit for only seven dollars. The time he recalled was such a different world. A strong survival instinct is one of Soul’s many qualities. This man had done what he needed to adapt. Still, there were challenges and struggles.

As he continued to share with me, he put his hand on my shoulder, pulling me closer to him as if he did not want to let go of the moment. He had tears in his eyes that he kept wiping away with a tissue in his other hand. I was not viewing him as the shell he had worn these many decades. Instead I heard and saw the glowing spark of God, which he truly is. He welcomed me to come visit him again. I left, feeling peaceful. The joy of following Spirit, of completing the adventure, left me feeling grateful for my encounter. I doubt the man remembered me after that, but I still think of him years later. It was a gift for me to meet this Soul who had heartbreaks and joys that punctuated the story of his life. Balancing survival in the physical world while growing in awareness of the boundless world of Spirit is the story of Soul. His story was beautiful and I was blessed to hear it.

I gained two insights, two pearls of wisdom from this experience. First, there is so much more to our, and others, experiences. How often do we stop at the surface when looking at life? When we take the time to leave our bubble of safety and comfort we can really see people for who they are, Soul. This is very doable in the everyday hustle and bustle of our busy lives when we remember to tune in and let that still small voice within guide us. Second, when we listen as Soul, we listen with more than our limited physical senses. Responding to these quiet calls of Spirit, we open the doorway for others to share their hearts.

Light and Love at Vision Rock

Experiencing spiritual light is one of the most direct ways to connect with God and feel God’s Love. The Light of God comes in many forms and may be experienced in a dream or during the waking state. Either way, it is a profound blessing and one that still happens in this day and age.

______

How do I describe an experience that I had not consciously known in this lifetime, and that really has no words? I came to the Nature Awareness School for a Nature Awareness Weekend class but it was so much more than a weekend of learning nature skills. One of the activities we did that weekend was to take a nature hike that brought us to Vision Rock. Vision Rock is a rock ledge overlook with an incredible view. We were invited to go out on the rock, sit quietly, relax, and experience some quiet time. The day was overcast and cloudy so there really was not much of a view.

I closed my eyes and was saying a quiet prayer of gratitude when my inner vision was filled with light. This surprised me because I did not know what to make of it. I opened my eyes to see if the sun had come out but it had not and when I closed my eyes the inner light was still shining. I opened and closed my eyes a few more times and had the same experience. Not only was I experiencing God’s Light in my inner vision, but it was also touching my heart. I can not give specifics on what happened but something was opened and touched and I was changed. A river of tears came out. The Light of God had touched my Divine self – Soul. Soul recognized this sacred moment and was responding.

After attending the Nature Awareness School for a while I came to realize this was the Light of God I had experienced, and have continued to experience because of the teachings I have received. I have been graced with so many beautiful and amazing experiences since the Light and Love of God touched me twenty years ago. My life was changed and continues to change with greater peace, joy, and love in my heart and life. God and His Light and Love are still very active today. Beautiful and life changing experiences like those that are written in the Bible are still actively going on today to ordinary people. I am so grateful that I am blessed to have a teacher that can guide me on the inner and outer to recognize the blessings of God.

Singing HU With My Granddaughter

Man needs reminding, but Soul does not forget the sound of HU. An ancient name for God that can be sung in loving gratitude. What a joy to witness someone experience it for the first time in this life.

Our new book “Testimonies of God’s Love – Book 1” contains many stories that are also a joy to read.

______

It was a beautiful summer day and my granddaughter and I were swinging on the swing under the poplar tree in my backyard. At the time she was twenty-one months old. She was sitting on my lap as we were swinging, just looking around the backyard and enjoying the day and that moment in time.

My heart was full of appreciation and love for the time I was spending with her. Any time with this beautiful little “gift from God” was a special gift for me. If you are a grandparent you know what it is like to hold a grandchild! I began singing HU, a love song to God to express my appreciation. Immediately and swiftly she turned around to look at me. I knew she recognized the ancient sound of HU. Her true self, Soul, recognized this sacred sound. I asked her if she remembered the HU and she said yes. I asked her if she would like to sing HU and she replied yes. I started to sing HU and the sweetest voice began to sing it as well. We both sang HU for a while, expressing gratitude and love for God.

My heart which was already full of appreciation was opened more and filled with more gratitude and love. Sharing HU, which is so precious to me, with my granddaughter was such a joy. Her innate recognition and sweet singing of this beautiful love song has no words. We were encompassed in love.

My Daughter Born By Spirit

Many times we are overly attached to a particular outcome or way of doing something without even knowing it. The more attached we are the more we tie God’s Hands in delivering His blessings. When we truly let go the situation can be born anew.

______

I am blessed to be the mom of three amazing, and beautiful girls. Eleven years ago, this journey of motherhood began. I loved being pregnant with my first child. Excitement, anticipation, worry, and joy all coexisting while we awaited her arrival. Being holistically minded, it was my deep desire to have a natural childbirth. My loving husband and I prepared as much as we possibly could, reading a plethora of books, and taking every birthing class offered in our area.

The big day was finally approaching. On June 7th, at 2:15 PM my water broke, and with it some complications arose. I was admitted to the hospital before labor truly began. A natural birth was still on the table, but as time ticked on, the outlook was looking less likely. I relied on the HU, one of my best spiritual tools to keep me calm. I felt peace and knew all would be fine. Five hundred miles away my sister-in-law was also waiting with anticipation. She kept checking in to see how labor was progressing. We went through the entire next day, and still no baby.

Exhausted at this point I gave in and they administered drugs to speed up labor. I finally yielded and accepted an epidural for the intense pain that the labor brings on. On the evening of June 8th true labor was finally setting in. My sister-in-law went to bed that evening with us in her thoughts. She had a dream, and in that dream she saw a brilliant blue light gently push the baby from my womb. Meanwhile back at the hospital, at the exact same moment, I looked at my husband and said, “I need help, I need help, and I truly surrender!”

I felt a sudden and noticeable warmth in my womb and instantly had a rush of stamina. On June 9th at 2:15 AM, exactly thirty-six hours to the minute of my water breaking, we gazed eyes upon our sweet baby girl. It was the Light of God that touched my baby and helped her come into this world. Even though earlier in the day I sang HU, and I felt peace, I still had an attachment to the way I wanted things to work out. I was not even aware of my attachments until I verbally surrendered the outcome. My sister-in-law’s dream confirmed what I was feeling in those same moments. In my hour of need God heard my cry and gave me one of the greatest joys of my life; my daughter.

The Blue Light of God

The Light of God manifests itself in many different colors. Each color has a specific meaning and can provide additional insight into the nature of your experience. To witness any aspect of the Light of God is a profound blessing and an expression of God’s Love for you.

______

Before I attended my first class at the Nature Awareness School I had come across references to spiritual light in books and heard people talk about it, but this light was nonetheless a mental concept to me. It was something that I had no personal experience with. All of this changed during my first class at the school. I was sitting out in the woods one evening as part of an awareness exercise when a beautiful deer walked in front of me. It was alerted by a slight turn of my head and started snorting and moving its head back and forth as it tried to identify me amid the fading light of day. My heart went out to the deer, as I felt love for this part of God’s creation, when suddenly everything in my field of vision – the deer, the trees, everything around me – became filled with a shimmering blue light. During this I felt Divine Love flood into my heart and fill my whole being.

The deer then bounded off and I stood up, amazed by what had just taken place. I had the knowing in my heart that Divine Spirit is real, and that what I had just experienced was way beyond anything that I could ever perceive with my physical senses alone. When I shared this experience with Del he did not seem at all surprised. He said that it was great and an important step on my path, and that there is a lot of spiritual help available to me. This experience was so stunning to me that I felt compelled to return to the school for a spiritual retreat and learn more about this amazing blue light.

As I attended more classes and continued to have more experiences with the blue light, both on and off of the school property, in dreams and while awake, I came to learn that this light was one of the aspects of the Light of God. It was also the calling card of my inner spiritual guide and teacher, the one who is a true Prophet of God. This beautiful blue light has been a constant companion to me over the twenty years that have passed since that unforgettable summer evening at the Nature Awareness School.

Sometimes it comes as a flash of light so small that I could easily miss it if I was not paying attention. Whenever I see it, it is a welcome reminder that my guide and teacher is spiritually with me. This presence helps me to make better choices that have led to a life of an abundance of peace, love, and the strength to endure life’s challenges. This is an abundance that I never dreamed was possible twenty years ago when all that I could see was filled with the blue Light of God. I am grateful to Del and the Nature Awareness School for creating a peaceful, relaxed setting, away from the stresses of daily life in which to experience God’s Love and Its Light, a light that has within it everything that I need.

Guidance from God can come in many ways and be about any part of our life. Sometimes it can be very obvious, sometimes very subtle. The key is being aware and learning to trust what your heart knows to be true, regardless of what anyone else says.

Our Dream Study Retreats and Workshops can help you recognize and understand the ways God is trying to guide you to a happier life.

______

In the summer of 2013 my husband Mark and I were planning a week long vacation in Houghton Lake, Michigan to visit friends and family. We currently live in Virginia so all our searching had to be done on the internet. We found a listing “Romantic Cabin for Two” that looked promising, but it was twenty minutes away from my aunt’s house. My aunt thought we should rent a cabin that was across the street from her. Which to pick? It was hard to decide if we should be closer to her or enjoy the nicer lake getaway. I asked my inner guide, the Prophet, for help and then went about the day.

While at the store shopping the next day I was cruising an isle of spices when a bag of bay leaves caught my eye. I picked it up and opened the twist tie to inhale the rich aroma of the leaves. They smelled wonderful. Even though I did not need them I threw them in the cart. Later that night I was looking at a map of Houghton Lake to see exactly where the cabin we liked was in relation to my aunt’s house. I discovered it was located on the bay. Then I realized my strong attraction to the bay leaves was telling me to stick with my original choice, the cabin on the bay!

I shared this awake dream dream during my first Dream Retreat at the Nature Awareness School and the teacher, Del IV, helped me see a pearl of wisdom in this experience. He asked the question, “What if the bay leaves meant to leave the bay?” (Bay- LEAVE). I took a moment to check how I felt. He told me not to change my answer. He reminded me to follow my heart when interpreting an awake dream. Awake dreams most often are confirmations of what we already know to be true.

Mark and I decided to book the romantic cabin. I attended the Dream Retreat before I went on vacation so this was a good opportunity to test my “truth detector.” This is something I learned about at the Nature Awareness School. We all have one; it is a blessing from God that helps me to navigate through life. It allows me to know truth when I hear it and has been strengthened as I have learned to trust my inner communication from the Prophet.

Sure enough, when Mark and I pulled up the gravel drive to the bayside cabin our jaws were dropping. The entire place inside and out was put together with so much love. It was more beautiful than the pictures online. Even my aunt, who was originally disappointed in our decision, said we made the right choice.

God can use anything, even a bay leaf, to get a message across if we are receptive to Its Voice. We can ask God for help. There is no issue too small. If it is important to us, it is important to God. We are Soul and as such God has given us the ability to receive Its guidance. This inner communication is my lifeline. Knowing that God is still active and guiding me has made my life such a joy to live. We are never alone!

“It’s a God Thing” Job Search

The Divine seeks to bless us with insights and guidance in all areas of our life, even with finding the perfect job. The key is – can you hear and understand those gentle whisperings and will you trust and follow the timing?

______

Last summer I was down to the wire of needing a job. Right before leaving for a weekend retreat up at the Nature Awareness School I got a nudge to look at job listings. I opened up an ad on Craigslist for an administrative assistant. The job opening was for a part time position in a town thirty minutes away.

After the weekend I asked for guidance on the inner from the Prophet in writing a cover letter and tweaking my resume. Taking these with me it felt important to go and fill out an application at the Housing Authority, which was handling applications for the hiring company. When handing in the paperwork I inquired when the application paperwork would be picked up by the property management company and was told it would probably happen once the ad was done running.

While in town I visited some other businesses and left resumes. After listening to a very strong inner nudge to at least drive by the company’s office to see where it was located, I decided to park nearby and commune inwardly with the Prophet. Asking on the inner what I should do, I got a very strong sense of a “can do” attitude and energy as a team, and that it would be important to hand a resume and cover letter directly to someone in the office. As I started to walk towards the office I got inner direction to not go there quite yet. Walking with and listening to the inner guidance I was reminded of the importance to detach from the outcome. It may have also been a timing issue.

When I got to the office the door was locked and the doorbell was lit up. I saw someone inside and got the “inner go ahead” to press the doorbell. A Vice President from the company came to the door. When I handed her my resume and letter for the job opening she had a very puzzled look on her face, and said that they did not have a job ad on Craigslist and that there was someone already in that position.

Well she continued to talk, she said that they were having a crisis at another location several hours away and that was taking their attention at the moment. Eventually she came back around to say that actually they were not happy with the current person in the position at the local property and had not yet addressed it due to the crisis situation. She mentioned that they hire through a specific temp agency. I told her that was interesting, as that is the company I currently work for! She came up with the idea that perhaps it would be an easy transfer. Then she said she knows that you are not supposed to talk about religion in the industry, but this is a “God thing!” I agreed with her that it definitely was a “God thing!”

As I was returning home I received a call to set up an interview and chose the earliest available date, which was the next morning. By the following Monday I was working in that position! It evolved from no ad, no job, to starting to work the following week! The temp agency says they never use Craigslist to advertise and no one has taken credit for writing the ad. The ad was written for me, tailor made to match my work skills and experience. In my heart I am very grateful to God. Getting the job is just one layer of the blessings. My gratitude is especially deep for the teamwork and relationship that I experienced with the Prophet. A loving relationship with the Prophet of God is priceless and affects all areas of life in a positive way.

Another precious layer, God read my heart. For the past several years it has been my dream and goal to work and live in that town, but the goal seemed so far away from fruition. God’s plan and timing is impeccable. All sorts of details, large and down to very small, have come together in this job and it has been a perfect match for me and for the company. Things have worked out way beyond any possible planning on my own. Truly we are loved by God, and the love and blessings are available and showered upon us. It took the teachings of the Prophet to be aware of and to see and experience God’s love for me.

A Drop of God’s Love

There is no limit to what even a single drop of God’s Love can do. It can move mountains, part seas, change destinies, heal relationships, and so much more. It is possible to visit the source and drink from this well.

______

I have learned by experience that it is entirely possible to perceive some of the wonders of God’s Heavens while still walking the Earth. My body cannot visit these realms of God, but I, Soul, can do so with the help of my spiritual guide and teacher. He can and does take me on journeys beyond the confines of space and time even while my body sits upon the ground, or in a favorite chair.

After singing HU, an ancient love song to God, for quite some time, I had the opportunity to go on one such journey. I was led to what seemed like a vast ocean. What appeared at first to be water was actually unlimited quantities of love and mercy. Kneeling before this vast ocean of love and mercy, I knew that I was in the Presence of God, the creator of all things. The waters, and even what seemed to be the sands of the beach, were alive, energetic, glittering gold, sometimes blue with hints of other colors. There I experienced a deep peace and contentment, a sense of completeness far beyond what I had previously known. The living waters gently caressed me, like the hand of a father welcoming home a child who has been gone a long time.

Del, my teacher, suggested I dip one finger in this ocean and consider how much of God’s Love is contained in a single drop. I was asked to consider how much impact a single drop of this Divine Love could have upon this Earth.

So I dipped my finger in this Heavenly Sea, and I experienced the living water glowing gold, tinged with other rich colors. It flowed around my finger, not as though pulled by gravity, but with loving intent and creative purpose, glowing intensely and spreading a strong but gentle warmth through my finger and entire being. Suddenly my consciousness expanded to see some of the potential of that little bit of Divine essence. In an instant I saw that this little drop of God’s Love could heal countless broken hearts and comfort countless hurting Souls. It can change the course of one’s destiny, averting tragedy and bringing peace instead. There are no limits to what God’s Love can do, though we may limit it with what our minds believe to be impossible.

So, dear reader, I testify to you that there is even now a Prophet of God who may take you to this same Divine well, that you may also experience and drink deeply of these living waters. God is real, and God’s Love is available to you in quantities beyond measure. Drink deeply of God’s Love, and share the peace and joy you find in this with those you love and meet. Thank you for the privilege of allowing me to share my experience with you.

A Place for Us in God’s Mansion

The following is a beautiful dream experience that serves as a reminder – there is a place for all of us. What a comfort it is to know this.

______

One night after singing HU, a love song to God, and asking God to help me accept more Divine love, I was blessed with a very special dream. In the dream I was allowed to live in a beautiful mansion. It was not my mansion but I was allowed to live there. It was God’s mansion and there was a place for me. I excitedly explored the rooms that were open. There was a kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom for my children, and several hallways and entryways. The house was furnished with furniture, painted art, ancient vases, and more. The craftsmanship of the construction was gorgeous and far surpassed any physical home I have ever seen. It was not gaudy or flashy. It was handcrafted and built with every detail as important as the next.

During the dream the door to a new room that I had seen but never gone in was opened for me. It was a dressing room that had a large mirror at the top of several steps and the walls had a built-in armoire for jewelry. Every piece of jewelry had its own drawer and even the drawer handles and wood had an exquisite level of detail. Each room had so much detail and beauty that they could not be fully explored in a lifetime. I was so excited in the dream to keep exploring and was trying to absorb everything I saw. I then realized that I was only seeing a portion of the house and that there were gardens and areas to explore outside the house as well. Knowing that there was so much more beyond what I was seeing was such an awesome realization. I was so eager to continue discovering new rooms and areas.

When I awoke from this dream I felt alive and alert and also comforted and reassured but most of all loved. The dream spoke to me of the biblical quote about the many mansions in my Father’s house. God wants to draw nigh with His children and the dream was showing me that I have a safe and special place to call home. There is a place for all of God’s children in the home of God. There is so much to learn and experience in God’s Heavens and we are so blessed to be welcomed.

The dream also reminded me that there is always more to learn and more growth on my spiritual journey. The rooms symbolized consciousness and how over time our view of the world expands and we can operate from a higher vantage point. In the dream my brother and sister-in-law and I were starting to give tours of the mansion to share the experience with others. It was a joy to serve others by showing them around the beautiful mansion.

This dream has stayed with me… the excitement to explore and keep learning, the beauty and love in every detail of the mansion, the comfort and security I felt being there, and knowing on a deeper level that my true home is in the Heart of God. I look forward to possibly having another dream where I am able to explore more rooms and continue to open the door for more tours.

God, I Love You

Many people would love to know with confidence God loves them. Sadly, many do not. On the other side of the coin – there are folks who would cherish knowing that God receives the love they send in prayer. Singing HU answers both these prayers of the heart.

______

About twenty years ago HU was first shared with me by my teacher Del, a God ordained Prophet. I was stunned. Here was a simple, direct way to sing my love to God in a very real and pure way. It was a revelation to me. Not only was God alive, but He loved me. And now I could express my love to Him and He could hear it. It had been a dream of mine my entire life to be able to just once tell God directly that I loved Him. This was a prayer come true.

The HU is something I now sing daily. Whether at home, or in the car to and from work, quietly or out loud, it has grown into an integral way of communicating with and nurturing my personal relationship with the Divine. There is also something special about singing HU with a group of people and something different about singing it at the Nature Awareness School. Here is an experience I had singing HU at the Nature Awareness School.

I am sitting in a room of about fifty people. We sing HU, a love song to God. It’s a collage of sound that soon builds in strength and depth and intent with every wave. The harmonies are absolutely blissful. At times the angelic voices around me seem to number in the thousands. At other moments it feels very small and intimate, like it is just God and us. The love is so overwhelming; I do not want to stop. How beautiful it is to hear.

After a while longer, we stop singing, but it does not feel like it has ended. The HU still reverberates. In my heart, I know I am heard. I know I am loved. Thank HU.

A marriage founded on love is a sacred thing. This is true for your physical marriage and even your marriage with God. The two work together and both can thrive when based on love. More specifically – the expression of love. What good is love if it is not demonstrated?

Singing HU is one of the best ways to demonstrate your love for God. Do not miss the incredible opportunity to experience the HU song this June 7th. Register now for FREE  – space is limited to 100.

I was standing in the middle of a huge room in a house that belonged to my husband, Mark and I. I knew it was ours, but it was as if I was discovering it for the first time. In front of me was a grand spiral staircase wide enough for three or four people to walk up side by side. Soft sunlight cascaded in from the homes’ many windows.

I was happy as I walked through seeing the potential that was there. The house was old, but sturdy and in good condition. It was like a historic estate with nice details and lots of wood. My perspective changed to the ceiling where I saw a slimy residue built up. It needed some work, but it was worth restoring and when it was done it would be gorgeous. My friends and family were all gathered inside helping Mark and I renovate the house

Later, as I was exploring, I discovered another wing. Two wooden French doors with glass inserts held back a new space. The room was lit with the glow of afternoon sunlight. Peering through the dusty glass I was delighted to see a baby grand piano inside. Excitement coursed through me as I thought of how beautiful this would be when it was finished. This section, I knew, was for the future. It was something we would open up down the road.

I awoke from this dream experience with a light expansive feeling that filled my being. I knew that the house represented my marriage to Mark. At this time we were just past a year of marriage. Our first year had been rocky at times. I was rough around the edges, emotional, and started a lot of fights. Things were getting better, but I still doubted myself. There were moments when I wondered if Mark would decide he had made a mistake.

This dream gave me reassurance. While our marriage in this life was new, the love between us was not. Like this old estate, our relationship was enduring. It had and would continue to weather many seasons. Knowing that Mark and I were again, after lifetimes, restoring and growing in our love brought me strength. The home had some dirt and residue from the past, but it was just on the surface. Our marriage, like the estate, has a solid foundation. This helped me relax. It showed me that we were in a period of transition. Disagreements would come and this was OK!

Peace and gratitude filled my being, I understood that God, via The Prophet was healing me through this dream. The experience filled my heart with love and began to push out the doubts and guilt that I had created in the past. I had a renewed confidence that all would be well. The sunlight in the home was the love of God. This love had brought Mark and I together again. God’s love would hold us together and sustain us forever. I also saw how much love and support we had from our friends and family.

Like a living pearl, reflection upon this dream has revealed deeper layers that to this day continue to bring reassurance and peace to my heart. Del, The Prophet helped me understand that this dream has many meanings. The estate, while representing my Earthy marriage was also a representation of my Spiritual marriage to the Holy Spirit. Both of these marriages are sacred to God.

Bravo the “Love Cat”

One of the main reasons you are here on Earth is to learn more about giving and receiving love. The two are inseparable. The following is a beautiful story, full of wisdom, about how a cat helped someone grow in this most important of understandings.

______

A few years ago I was lonely and ached for love, but did not realize that I needed to give love more than I needed to receive love. I had fallen into the trap of thinking about myself too much. Rather than trying to help someone else I looked to fill my own needs. It became a vicious cycle where the more I wanted and tried to get love, the further away it seemed. During classes at the Nature Awareness School I have heard Del say many times that the best way to get love is to give love. While I understood the words, I was not practicing them.

Then, during a class, Del suggested that I get a cat. Maybe having something to love, even a cat, would help. To me this suggestion felt like a lifeline, or one of those “In Case of Emergency” boxes, only this one containing a cat. I love how Spirit works. Where the human solution might consist of struggle or hardship, the Divine suggests a warm furry friend.

I went to the animal shelter praying for help from my inner guide, the Prophet, to find the cat that was right for me. I walked slowly through the aisles in the cat rooms, stopping to take out and spend time with one cat after another. Finally I got to the last row but still had not found my cat. I wandered into another room to hear an employee saying, “If you are looking for a cat who wants to sit in your lap and be loved all day, these are not the cats for you.” When I asked her where I would find those cats, she said that I needed to meet Bravo.

We returned to that last row and I met Bravo, who was as sweet and loving as she described. We sat and enjoyed each other’s company for quite a while. When I started to worry that someone else might adopt him if I did not bring him home right away, I knew I had found my cat.

Soon after, I was at home on the couch with Bravo feeling so much love for him. I felt like a light finally came on in a room I had not even realized was dark. Pouring love onto my cat is even more satisfying than the love he gives me. I was filling a need I did not even realize I had. Love is like breathing; you have to exhale before you can take the next breath. Having him to love changed everything.

Every day, Bravo opens my heart, and not only to him. Because I am open to give and receive love with him, I can accept love from friends, family, and even the Divine, which makes me want to give even more love. Thus begins an upward spiral of ever expanding love and joy. Loving him opened a door to accept the love that had surrounded me the whole time.

There is a ball of God’s Love that lives in my house. It is disguised in black and white fur that makes it look like a cat, but I know the truth. He has brought so much love into my life, so many blessings. I know he is a gift from God.

A Gift of Personal Healing

To head out alone without God is folly. However, to sit back and wait for the Divine to live our lives for us is just as misguided. We follow our hearts and make the effort, doing our part, and God takes care of the “heavy lifting.” It is a team and the strong ask for help. -Enjoy

Singing HU helps one to “draw nigh” – which is a great example of doing our part.

______

Although I have had many great experiences and opportunities, I have spent a great deal of my adult life attempting to figure out what was “normal” and why I was not comfortable being me. My ideas about what it meant to be happy and contented were ambiguous at best.

Partial answers to many of my questions were indeed found through reading various books in the “self help” category. In them I often found the possible reasons why I carried certain emotional baggage. Also, the material that I read about the emotions gave a whole lot of advise about how to rid ones self of inner ills that hold one hostage. Quite insightful, but for me ineffectual since I never remembered to use the advice. I later learned that inner ills such as anger, vanity and lust can only be healed by the Divine.

The real revelations and deep seated healing came once I started studying at The Nature Awareness School. It was there where I was introduced to The Prophet of God, my Divine connection.  In time I became aware that I could not do it on my own and that I needed to get beyond the inner ill of vanity and ask God, “please help me help myself.” I asked in earnest. The very deep “stuff” that surfaced for me to look at and discard, with the help of The Divine, was the beginning of the healing process. Making the choice to think correct thoughts, use self control and practice self discipline became, and remains to be, key in maintaining the emotional healing as well as a sense of balance. By doing my part moment to moment and letting Spirit do the rest, now I no longer carry guilt over past mistakes. I’m less likely to over react to life events and Praise Be to God, I’m finally learning more effective coping skills.

The miraculous sense of true inner peace and freedom that I possess is something that I am now and will always be, eternally grateful for!

Broken Neck Healed by the Light of God

In this story of protection and being healed by God’s Light, there is much to be grateful about. It shows there is no limit to what God can do, including healing someone before the injury even occurs.

______

Last summer I was in a car accident. The accident itself was a miracle because no one was seriously injured. I was run off the highway, crossed the median, and stopped right before oncoming traffic. The other car was pushed back into our traffic lanes but was not hit by other cars. I drove home that evening and went to get an x-ray the next day just to make sure I was not injured. The doctor came in and told me “don’t move,” a C-collar was placed on my neck and I was laid down. I thought it must be some kind of joke as I had been walking around all night. The doctor said that the x-ray showed a fractured C6 vertebra, a broken neck. She showed my husband the x-ray and he could visibly see where my bone was misplaced. I was transferred to the emergency room, and as I lay there for a few hours, I was praying to God, as were my family and friends. Doctors were discussing a possible surgery for that evening. I had a CT scan to get a better image and the doctor said “It must have been a bad x-ray; you don’t have a fractured neck.” My husband and I looked at each other and knew, it was not a bad x-ray, it was a healing. My husband had seen the x-ray with his own eyes.

Not long after this I was attending a HU sing at the Nature Awareness School when the Prophet, my spiritual guide, took me back to an experience on the inner that I had earlier in the year, before my accident. During this experience, I was touched by God’s Light! I was bowed in reverence as God’s Light shone down on the back of my neck. To be touched by the Light of God was an amazing life changing experience! I know God loves me! I felt so much love, joy, warmth, peace, and strength during this experience that I was not paying attention to where I was touched. I was focused on the immense blessing it was that I was actually being touched by God’s Light. It was not until I was shown this experience again that I realized I was specifically touched right at my C6 vertebra. I was immediately taken back to the accident and saw a direct connection between these two experiences. I know the Light of God touching my neck that day was a healing. Wow!

I am so very grateful and appreciative for the Love of God and I am blessed to see God’s Love throughout my daily life.
