Divine Connections

Since I wrote my book, MIGHTY INSPIRATION, Love Letters from God, I have noticed some things that were likely always true but never recognized.  One of those things is the abundance of connections that are made available to me. Now, I notice that when I identify a question, issue, problem or quandry - I simply ask for the right connection.  And usually within hours but always within days, the answer or person who can help me appears.

My friend laughs that she can "conjure" people up just by speaking about them.  It's kind of the same thing.  And eerily - she DOES conjure people up. hahaha  It's like the times when you think of someone and they suddenly write or call.  Or you dream about someone and they show up.  I used to think these were pure coincidences but now ... well I don't believe in coincidences.  We are all, always attracting to us that which we think of and declare.

So, next time you needs something - ask for the connection and see what happens.  It's fun once you start to pay attention.

Be blessed!

Prayers

It seems these days there are so many people in need of prayers.  There are the people of Haiti, many friends with illnesses, cancers, and diseases, abused and displaced people, orphans and unemployed, and many more.  Now - Chile with this huge 8.8 earthquake and the surrounding countries under Tsunami alert.  I sit here in middle America knowing that what I have to give seems so little and yet it is still critical to give.  I can give money, volunteer for charities, donate food and clothing and even blood.  These things I do and yet it seems so ineffective. 

All I have beyond the physical is my faith. It is with great longing that I offer up these people and more to the hands of God for help, peace and blessing.  I know my prayers do not go unnoticed or unanswered ... and so I pray.  Will you join me?

Be blessed!

Virtual Friends

I'm feeling especially blessed these days.  I always treasure my family and friends ... now I'm learning to truly value my "virtual" friends as well.  In the beginning when I started blogging and using Facebook and Twitter I really thought this was a big black hole that I would be talking to myself in.  And in the beginning I was cautious - one friend here or there.  Then those friends were suggesting friends and connections.  Over time I have found that God is in those connections.  I've met other authors, book promoters, Christians and like-minded people from all over the place. I find that my hands are open to both give and receive in this venue and, as always, God is generous beyond measure to fill my hands with new friends and connections.

Be blessed - all of my family and friends, no matter where you are from or how I've met you!
