Have you ever done things that you knew went against what your body, soul and mind knew was the right thing for you to do? I have and in a big way. I have refused to listen to my Spirit. I have refused to listen to Self. Instead, I continued to push forward no matter what I really knew was the right thing for me to do. Why, because I was having my way not Gods way. I was depending on my intellect to do it and get the job done whatever the job was. You know; Living the life you think you should be living, driving the car you think you should be driving and being the driver instead of Spirit. I have been guilty of all of the above in the last three years. Yes, I’ve bought a house, drove a new car and have made a very nice income, but at what expense did I achieve these things. At the expense of my relationship with Me, Self, Spirit, and Inner Peace. I know what I am really supposed to be doing but instead I chose a different path. One that lead my soul yearning to be with Me, with God, with Spirit. A life that yearns again for the Divine. When you accomplish externally and forget the relationship with your Internal Being you take the chance of developing separation of who you truly are. Well, at least that’s what I did. Instead of doing my business with God I did it without God. I depended on me as the authority. I had no peace. In the not so distant past I made sure to do the thing that was most important develop and be kind to myself from the inside out. In the last three years, I created deadlines, meetings, things to do that were away from Me, but instead were outside of Me to make the little me happy with the outcome. I learned a big lesson in doing this. There is never anything more important than Spirit. Nothing more important than the relationship you have with Self from the inside out. God has been knocking on my door for sometime now. I have been saying just wait. After I get this new business successful then I can have the time with Self that I so desire; Then I can rest, then I can relax, then I can have time to look at the sun go down and sup from the Inner cup. I can read and write the things God has inspired deep within my soul. Spirit has been knocking too long without an answer. So, God gave me a divine medical intervention to sit my butt down and is making me listen to that which I love. I now get to listen and have time for Me, time with Me, coffee with Me, pray and reflection on the movement of God within me. I allowed myself to be brought to this deep reflective meditation through negligence of listening to Spirit. My body had been telling me for years it was deprived of something. I just didn’t know what. One I needed nutritional love and iron infusions to build my blood up. Two, I needed to have time for soul work which I had been neglecting. As I forced beyond physical bounds and made speaking engagements, meetings and building a business the priority. I left my Spirit in the dust just being blown around by the winds of work. Now that I have had the choice taken away because I didn’t open the door so many other times for self-care, self empowerment, self-reflection, self rest etc… God did it for me. I am so grateful that God has allowed me to have and recognize this time as an opportunity for growth and development of my relation ship with me and those whom I love; friends, family and colleagues that have always been there for me to support who I Am. So, I ask all of us today; Has God been Knocking? Have you heard the call to be with you, yourself, Spirit? Have you given Spirit the time to tell you what you need to hear? Don’t wait until you have to be told and showed as I did. I wish for you an easy and effortless spiritual ear to hear yourself and God from within directing your life and mine.

How to know if God is knocking?
1) If you are doing something and it really doesn’t feel good. Then as my dear friend Joe says, “You need to do it differently.” I hear God in my physical body when I haven’t been listening. So, I feel physical pain which stops me and makes me sit with Spirit, write, journal and get connected to Me again.
2)When a lesson in Life just keeps repeating itself over and over again. Your definitely not listening. Ask, what am I not hearing and how can I hear my heart and direction better? Sit quietly with this question, contemplate and listen the answer will come from within. Writing in your journal or just asking may be enough to hear the answer. My husband doesn’t journal so he reads and always gets his direction from that.
3) If you feel confused and unsure about anything and everything. Gods been ringing the doorbell and you’ve been sending someone else to answer it. So I encourage you to take the time to listen to your Inner Compass.
