When rear ended by life, God provides

                      The Dealership  We all know the shock of being rear ended by unexpected trials in life, but there is hope! On May 27, 2026, very recently, I was rear ended hard! All kinds of emotions surfaced. I was concerned about the pain I was experiencing, but the emergency room said I had no broken bones, just very sore muscles.  Thank God! I had a 2015 vehicle with low mileage that ran great, so I wasn't motivated to seek out another car. Then my car was totaled, therefore I had to go find another one. I found one at the dealership with updated safety features and technology. This prompted me to think of God as the Dealership, as well as being the Creator and Owner. Here people depend on the salesperson and the mechanic to help move about in life. God contains all we need, that is, what people seek can be found in this "dealership". We all want to find something to take us from point A to point Z. From birth un...

God of the living



When we lose someone, we naturally think we cannot communicate with them ever again. But as I've mentioned before, we never die. As Jesus points out, God is not the God of the dead but of the living, for to Him all are alive (Matthew 22:32 and Luke 20:38).
The 25th of May will be 3 years since my beloved Michael transitioned to the hereafter.  I think of him and talk to him daily. If you've lost a beloved family member or friend, remember that they surround you and are very present in your life. 
A couple of years ago, as I was missing Mike, I imagined him telling me the following, but anyone you've lost could be telling you this.

                    In Grief

It's been a bit since I left
I know you are sad
But trust that the Divine Energy 
Will enfold you with grace
And I will always be there
I understand now
All that we wondered about
I am at peace, I am happy 
I am here with you
And I am watching over you
If I could only wipe away your tears
But grief is a part of healing
Our time together was magical
And our forever bond is mystical 
Love never dies, only our physicality
My soul, who I really am, never dies
And we are united with the Eternal One 
We are forever in the circle of Love
The Divine and I
Will hold you when you are sad and
Rejoice with you when you are happy
Let me and the Spirit of Love 
Flow through you
Let your face shine
And your soul sparkle
When you think of me
Your eternal companion 

The drawing is of my beloved Michael

    HI Cynthia, thank you for sharing this beautiful post and this amazing portrait of Michael. I am so inspired and learn so much from you: " If you've lost a beloved family member or friend, remember that they surround you and are very present in your life. " I send blessings and prayers for you as move forward, but I am so happy that Michael is still very present in your heart and in your home. Love you, Robin.

    We just celebrated Easter, and I am thinking about the Lord appearing to the disciples. He told them to touch him. To place their hands in his wounds! He ate something before them. It is not only Michael’s spirit you will experience but one day by the power of the Holy Spirit, you will feel him to the bone again!

Why God?

  I was recently asked, why? And I thought, what would God say about this question. Life is a rocky road to travel and all of us grapple with difficulties. Some more pronounced than others. It may seem like God is asleep in the boat during the storm, but if we consider and awaken the divine within we will find some solace. Many in our current situation ask this question and this is what I imagined God would tell us.                      WHY? Why do bad things happen  to good people Is an existential question Why my God, why? God says I am Love And Love doesn't desire harm I created you for goodness But I want you to have Free will and independence So you may choose me freely Life is difficult and random As it unfolds Rely on me  Learn from me And I will give you rest In the midst of pain I will hold you in suffering I understand I will comfort you Cry with you And walk with you In this journey called life In this step...

Joined together in Love

  Next week will be my wedding anniversary, and just like two roses are joined on a rosebush, Mike and I were joined together with God as our center.  After Michael died, I wanted to write him a poem.  I asked for  inspiration from the Spirit and from Mike as I had never written a poem and this came to my soul:           TO MIKE My heart is heavy my grief intense  my tears roll down my face now like little rivers seeking the ocean We were magical together for a lifetime of love and joy We were like two peas in a pod surrounded by God We were two pieces of a puzzle joined together in a bigger picture You breathed my air and stroked my hair  You held my hand and took my tears away Now you are dancing with the angels exploring the universe with the Divine You are alive in a realm of wonders I asked you for a sign that you will always be mine You reassure me of your love as I close my eyes and dance with you when dragonflies, birds and ...

Lent means Spring

  Ash Wednesday  Today is the beginning of Lent which means "Spring". Spring is the time of year where dead things come to life. It means that the seeds that were buried in the ground during the winter grow into flowers. Dead tree limbs resurrect and begin to grow a new canopy of leaves. Animals create new life in the warming and awakening of the earth in this season. Earth begins to awaken from its slumber, it remembers the dark and cold nights, where everything rested only to stir up new life as the eyes of nature open wide, signaling new beginnings. Lent is the time for us to be birthed and be born anew. The 9 months in the womb are like the 40 days before Easter. Here we are formed and defined as we grow into the people we were meant to be. It is like seeds, buried in the ground that are shaped into flowers, grass and all things nature puts forth in Spring. Lent is a time for introspection, looking deep within to discover who we truly are as we grow and develop in the wom...
