Are you happy with your faith?

Have you ever pondered your faith directly? Some people will go their whole lives with their faith and say they believe in God, but what does that really mean?

I know my faith is a huge part of what makes me “me”. I have other things going on in my life and that’s all well and good, but if I were ever in a situation whereby I could talk about my faith, I can do that. I am sure about my belief in God and the workings of him in my life.

How well is your faith holding up for yourself in your life? I’m not trying to say anything bad about it. I’m asking you to check-in with yourself to see if your faith is strong enough to withstand the winds of outside forces, yet also flexible enough to allow others to create their own life in the way each of them sees appropriate.

Faith itself needs to be cultivated like any other thing important in one’s life. It’s okay to go to church or have fellowship in some other way with like minded people, but how do YOU personally handle and feel about your faith?

Spend some time with this today. See how well it is. Have a nice day.

What if God’s message is to be KIND?

People follow the bible and all these rules. They seek or are in a religion that speaks to their soul, yet some of them still wonder if they’ll get into Heaven. To this, I don’t really understand, but everyone’s journey is their own to sort out and live, so…there’s that.

What if God’s message is to be kind? God came directly in the old testament and spoke to people about many things, leading as he saw fit. According to the new testament, Jesus came and tried to teach people how to live a one-on-one with God and to be kind.

I am not saying the bible isn’t valid for some people. I am proposing to you, “What if it’s as simple as being kind?”

Everyone is doing their best, including you. Some days, everyone falls short, including you. Me too. I think a little more kindness all the way around is the answer to a lot of prayers.

Handwritten HUGS

When I offer to write your own intuitive message, what does that mean? Well, it means that you would get a snail mail note written with you exclusively in mind. It will usually contain words of comfort, maybe an analogy of some sort to help you shift a prospective to forward, maybe even something amusing to get a smile. It may also reflect something you’ve been thinking on and be a nudge for you to continue on that path.

I’ve written HUGS as God/Spirit led messages and people have written back to say, “I was thinking on doing that very thing you mentioned.” Or, “I needed those words of comfort you wrote. I needed to be reminded to slow down or I’m doing my best.”

This started out as a random nudge to be kind to someone I didn’t know by sending them a letter of prayer and encouragement. That one letter sparked what has now been many years of encouragement on paper, sent to people’s mailbox, giving them that space and comfort when they read the letter, and sometimes the keeping of their letter as a treasure of continued care.

I am always warmed when a friend or person says, “I took out that note to read again and it brought more comfort to me.” This, to me, is a spark of light from God/Spirit sent to stand the test of time. That, in my thinking, is a super awesome gift to give.

If you’d like a note or know of someone to send a note to, please do get with me by contacting on the next page. I’d be happy to put pen to paper for you or a loved one.

What is your Goliath?

I don’t want you to think of this story as a situation of the war in which it is. I want you to think of this story in an analogy of your life today. You are David. Goliath is whatever you are currently having trouble with in your life.

God prepares you for all things. Sometimes you are not brave enough to accomplish those things for many reasons…

You don’t think yourself capable.
You didn’t have enough time to prepare.
You’re old.
You know someone is going to say you’re not qualified
Or incapable.
Your own relatives may disprove, that’s sometimes harder.

Continue to add to this list as you personally see fit. Here’s the deal though… Do you trust God for your life, or do you continue to hinge any decision YOU make with the OPINIONS of OTHERS?

It is perfectly okay to seek out other perspectives if you’re a person who sees clarity by letting your thoughts wander outside of your head; however, keep in mind that another person will give you answers based on either their agenda or how they see you as a person. What if you want to be brave and try something new? You wouldn’t necessarily gain support from someone who has seen you only do certain things and not these new things. Think on this.

By trusting your own nudging and God’s help, your possibilities are much farther reaching. If it’s a thought and feeling created from within yourself…within your soul…it has a real possibility of manifesting as reality within your life.

Within Yourself. Within Your Soul. Within Your Life. Yes.

So, this Goliath that is before you, is it bigger and more capable than God’s assistance? God can personally intervene for you. He can send Angels to your aid, especially when you ask for them. He can do great things…for YOU.

Think on this today and any time you find a Goliath in front of you. God is greater than any of these things. If you’re of faith, that means you’re of trust.

Your choosing and God’s divineness

We have free will and the ability to choose and create our lives in whatever way we see fit. I completely believe this. I also believe God puts divine incidents in place from time to time, either because we’ve asked for them or because we needed that in the bigger picture of our lives.

You may ask me, “April, how do I tell the difference?” Well, here’s how I see it.

After I had graduated from high school, I had a choice to either go visit some relatives in another state for a month or start trade school. I chose trade school over the adventure. I love gaining knew knowledge and there was new knowledge to be gained at the school.

I met my husband at that school, almost from the first day. I believe God sent him upon my path because he’s exactly what I needed. Looking back now, I am what he needed as well. We’re a magnificent fit for each other in the deeper feelings of the soul.

But, let us look at the bigger picture for a moment. I could have chosen to go visit relatives. Maybe I would have met someone there who understands me. Maybe my future husband would have met another girl within that month. Maybe, after going on the trip, then coming back for school, he would have been right there waiting for me as I arrived at a different time, but still have arrived.

He took a series of actions himself to get him to the point of going to that school. His own journey was filled with his very own choices and that’s the course he created.

Even then, in meeting each other, we still had to test compatibility and get to know one another. That took some time as well. It wasn’t until years later that I understood the depth of what we’d become. That is not to say I thought I “settled” on the next person, but it is to say God knew we needed each other and the “why” of us needing each other. It was a match made in divineness.

So, while I’m making choices and he’s making choices, we came upon each other in divineness and made the choice to be together and stuck like glue ever since.

I could throw in other possibilities…such as…. I could have met someone else that would have been a benefit to my life. He could have met someone else who would have been beneficial to his life. I don’t necessarily think there is only the ONE solution as this world is so vast and diverse and filled with many choices of people and situations to encounter. I do think some choices are because of divine intervention for a better life in ways that matter to us and for bigger picture reasons as well.

If I wouldn’t have met my husband, I don’t know that I would have explored the psychic arts. I may not have realized my talents and gifts or even felt okay to use them. My intuition would have been heightened as I was using that in my waitressing career long before I explored those avenues, but the other things, who knows.

This isn’t to say I couldn’t have met someone else who would have given me the tools and knowledge to explore the psychic arts, there are many people in this world and I could have made a friend or found another partner who was one to explore those paths as well, etc. So, I could have ignored the “divineness” put upon my path with my current husband and done something else. I think about that from time to time of how ordinary my life would have been had I either stayed with someone else I dated or found someone else along those lines as opposed to meeting my husband. The possibilities are endless really. Our choices in life are great, how we create and go forward is such a magical, magnificent realm of possibilities. Amazing.

So, in this way, God’s divine intervention allowed for a “best case scenario” of needs from each of us as well as the start of my journey into developing my gifts to today, writing this blog for you.

This is how I see the difference between what we choose and what God divinely puts before us. I hope, in some way, it makes sense. Look at your own life, see how things transpired to get you to this point.

Personal God Signs

There are signs for a lot of things in life. I could talk about signs at length, they are that prevalent in life.

We get signs in many different ways. If you don’t necessarily believe in God, you’d still get signs as there are many reasons for that intuitive nudge or intuitive bit of information. I like to think of my signs as being from God though. It’s a completely personal preference.

I was reminded this morning that one of my signs from God is flowers. Flowers have grown in my yard in the oddest of places. It would seem, to the average person, that I may have planted these flowers strategically myself as that’s how they tend to look. However, that’s not the situation at all.

A couple of months ago, in October, morning glories grew on their own in an odd spot of the yard. That is, near to where we’d see them, around a project that got set aside, and nowhere else in the yard at all. Also, I looked it up and found out, as I had thought, that they don’t usually bloom this late in the year. There it was though…a beautiful…healthy…lovely display of purple and green for us to enjoy and, as a sign of goodness from the Divine.

Come to think on it, there’s also a lovely display of some ground cover that’s giving us pink flowers at this time too. The patch has been a small patch that happened on its own every summer, not much, maybe a foot square. This year though, it’s bloomed into something of a 5 foot rectangle of beautiful greenery and pink flowers. I’ve realized this probably doesn’t normally do that either. I went online to ask friends what it was, but no one had a clue. I’d still like to know. I’ll add a picture to this post. If you know, please do message me.

I also want to point out that you can pick a God sign for yourself personally. One that comes up randomly throughout your life, every few days, every few weeks, every month or so, etc. to let you know you’re being looked after.

I noticed a new sign a couple of years back. It was so random and showed up in the oddest of places. I took this particular sign as one that I was being looked after by the Universe, God. Like, it became my “God Sign” and to this day, years later, it still shows up randomly when I least expect it.

I want to encourage you to consider your own “God Sign”. You can either take some time to think on it and see if a sign you’ve already had happen often come up and now realize it’s been consistent and fairly steady in your life. Or you can pick something you’d like to see from this day forward. If you pick something, sort of speak on it like, “My sign from God and being looked after will be THIS.”

Then, every time this sign happens, feel the connection, know the connection is there, and that you’re being looked after in the most Divine of ways.

God put my husband directly on my path over 30 years ago. I may have mentioned it before on here. He was all blonde hair, blue eyes and waved at me that day. I’ll tell you right now, I wouldn’t have approached him. I somehow thought blondes were on another level I’d not ever be associated with so it wasn’t going to start with me.

That day, he waved. The next day, he came over and talked. We’ve had a few rocky spots and there are still disagreements from time to time, all these years later, but we’re a really great divine fit.

He loves me and encourages me to be me. I didn’t really have choices growing up and am fairly certain my mother would have steered me in another direction if it wasn’t something she liked. It’s one thing to be taught as a child, a whole other thing to be finding oneself as an adult. My husband has been and continues to be my safe space.

In many ways, I am that safe space for him. I love him, am the person who shelters him and envelopes him within that love. His own upbringing was restricted in some ways as well.

Back then I didn’t think to pray to God for a right life partner. I’d had a couple of boyfriends, a guy I really wanted, a few dates, but none of them stuck. I realize, quite often, how blessed I am to have been united with him from so young. Here we are, over 30 years later, still happy to be within each other’s lives, creating, living, BEing together.

My wish for you is that you take moments this holiday season, especially with the way this year has gone, to realize and FEEL your deepest blessings, to acknowledge them, and polish their shine.

Here and now, what you have today that has endured, is a blessing growing with each breath you take.

Handwritten HUGS. What are they?

I often say I pen “Handwritten HUGS”, intuitive letters of comfort to people. I offer them here and have offered them several places over the years. What exactly are they?

Well, they’re messages of comfort for each individual receiving theirs. I love writing snail mail letters and have been doing that since I was in grade school. I was one of those girls who passed notes with my friend often in school.

Fast forward to many years later and I’m writing to a friend several states away. She mentioned she had a friend in need of some extra prayers. I said I’d be happy to write to that friend personally and she can give her the letter. It turns out the friend found comfort in the words I wrote on paper for her.

I may have written something about my own life that helped her along her way. I may have written a thought that came to mind for a perspective shift she needed. I may have written words that felt comforting, encouraging, and like she’d gotten “hugged”. Each letter I write has one or more of these various messages.

After the lady found comfort in the letter I wrote, I began to write other letters to other people. At first I tested it with people I didn’t know to see how things would go. Some would write back to me and say, “Thank you.” Others would write back and say, “Your letter touched me at just the right time I needed it. I cried.” Every now and then God would send me a mental list of people I needed to write to. I’d then get to writing those people as I was going to be spiritually nudged until I finished.

These days, I write based on the spiritual nudge, when someone orders a letter, or just to check on a friend. Each letter is written from a spiritually intuitive place. I don’t even know the circumstances behind the need most of the time, only that a letter must be penned. I’ve had people tell me they have kept their letter and reread it as often as needed.

I must say, with every letter I’ve written, I’ve been amazed at the response and warmed in my heart that I’ve warmed another’s heart. I think it’s extraordinary, every single time. Little me, being gifted with writing messages of comfort to others and them actually feeling comforted by the magic of words written on paper. It is one of my favorite things to do.

Feel free to order your own personal comforting message. Order one for someone you care about and think could use some words. Make someone’s day brighter in a small way. 😀

Gifts, God, and Jesus

I believe all of us have gifts and talents meant for us to shine and share and uplift. How do you feel about that? Do you believe you’ve got something extra? I believe you do. I believe each person does. Sometimes those extras need more refining, like singing or learning the human body to become a doctor in some way. Other times, they come easier and may seem like just something you’re good at, like making apple pie or listening to a friend’s troubles.

What about psychic gifts? I believe these are valid God given gifts and talents. I was just stating online how I tried to separate the two in my own life. According to the people holding the Bible, the things I do are considered sins. However, if one were to look closer at certain aspects of the Bible, the Jesus they speak of that saves them is also the Jesus that prophesied, healed the sick, and listened to God directly.

To deny any of these spiritual gifts is to deny Jesus in some way. I mean, if the Bible says he did these things and that we are made of God just like he is, then it stands to reason that we’re all gifted in some way and some of us are spiritually gifted in ways that Jesus was.

I have said before and will say this many times, Jesus came to teach us how to live our lives with a loving God presence. The fact that he asked God to forgive people is something he chose to do. He chose this, in my thinking, because people were not listening to his messages all along. They were still lost sheep.

If you’re looking to follow the Bible to find God, start with Jesus’ life, make notes. See how you feel about things then. For me, I’ve been listening to God for years on a personal level. Sometimes he directs me to Bible verses as needed, but mostly he directs me in other ways.

I am psychically gifted and have solid faith in God. This is the path I live. I know not everyone will understand it. I’m okay with this. I am here to be of service for those who are seeking something different and may need my guidance or words of comfort.

Sometimes Faith Falters

I am here to post about faith building, having a great one-on-one with God, and encouraging your individual path doing the best you can. Most of my posts here, or anywhere, you will find that.

However, sometimes faith falters. It’s like hitting a pothole on the highway or walking into a hole in the lawn that the dog made. Just when you think you’re doing well and sort of proud of yourself, a dip happens.

Sometimes when this dip happens you’re able to recover quickly. In the situation of walking on your lawn, your body adjusts itself and it’s almost as if you didn’t even have a misstep. Other times, you actually trip and fall as a result of the hole you didn’t see. You may even sprain your ankle, break that ankle, or even cry because you are now in this position.

I think faith is like this on occasion. Sometimes we falter and cry, wondering how come we aren’t where we’d like to be in life…for one reason or another or one way or another. I think it’s perfectly okay to cry, to feel a bit adrift, to wonder if one’s faith is strong enough, to take the time to think on how far one has come, how far one has to go, to get to where one journeys to. I think this is especially true if you think you’re trying your best.

I know, for me, there are times I falter. I wonder why I haven’t gotten to some sort of stability in ways I have been aiming for in some aspects of my life. I take that time out and cry. I did it last night and this morning. At the end, I then go back to my grounded self and hold my faith close. No matter how rough the hole or the situation, my faith has always been there and will continue to be so.

I hope, any time you falter, you cry if you need to, but then you get up, dust yourself off, and keep going. Believe in yourself, in the life you’re creating, and feeling yourself get there. 🙂 Sometimes the journey is longer than expected, but I believe the destination we strive for is attainable, if not, it will be something even better for us because that’s the way of divine grace.
