So many times we send a prayer up to Heaven and then wait anxiously for the answers to come. And then as time drifts on by and the answer doesn't seem to come we decide that there isn't really anyone up there looking out for us.
But the more I thought of that, the more I felt that it isn't really that the answers don't come it's more that we stop believing that an answer will come. Hence when it does, we just don't see it.
I've been blogging for 3 years now and have truly enjoyed all the challenges and prompts that I've taken part in. But always felt something missing. And then a few days ago it occurred to me that what I was missing was a spiritual prompt. Something that allowed me to make that connection with Spirit, to be involved in a like minded group where the interaction would lift me up.
Fiction doesn't do it for me. Now and then that's a fun write and read, but it just does not resonate with me. The real life stories of faith and love and hope are the stories I find inspirational and uplifting.
And so many weeks ago I sent a prayer up to Heaven. Told the Lord to find me a spiritual blogging group. Thanks Corinne (Everyday Gyaan) for leading me to the Five Minute Friday prompt. A place where I hope I can tell the thoughts in my mind that are led from my soul. Looking forward to linking up there.
Tell the Lord what you need, let it go and then He will find a way to bring it to you. Sometimes that occurs by chance, sometimes in an unexpected way, sometimes when you've forgotten you've asked. But the answers do come.
In the words of a Beatles song - There will be an answer, Let it be.

ReplyDeleteThanks Scribbler. When you feel the joy in your soul, you know it's the right path.
DeleteWhat a beautiful testimony and a much-needed reminder. I'm glad the Lord led you to Five Minute Friday!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa. I'm glad too and looking forward to linking up.
DeletePray is always answering, I hope you could find that Spirit you need and feel great
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandrax and that is so true that prayers are always answered. Thanks for visiting my post.
DeleteAmazing how God expresses His love, I always give God all the glory on what He is done for me and my family
ReplyDeleteThanks Imelda. I live my life according to His will. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteI read Corinne's post this morning and now yours. I must check out this Five-minute-friday prompt :) Going by your posts, it sounds so cool! Thanks Suzy for reminding that maybe we aren't expecting the answer and that's why miss it. Gives me something to ponder upon.
ReplyDeleteDo join in Beloo. So often I've looked back and realised that the answer has come and that I just didn't see that.
DeleteHow wonderful that you could find a Blog Hop to suit your needs!
ReplyDeleteThanks AMummyslife. It's good to find what we are looking for.
DeleteI'm glad you found a spiritual blog that fills your needs Suzy. There are also other blogs where spirit might show up, sometimes direct, sometimes indirect like mine. I may not use the term "Lord" per se though I am speaking to the general public and spiritual community by appealing to a different/larger audience in my use/choice of words - no right or wrong in this. My blogsite (www.xpressyouressence.blogspot.ca) comes in part from an inspired poem that I penned years ago that came from 'Spirit' (or soul). ;) <3 (The 'express' with an 'e' site was already taken.)
ReplyDeleteThanks Elly. Dropped by your blog. All my writing comes through Spirit or the Great Soul too.
DeleteCool! Glad to hear Suzy! Keep on writin'...! ;) <3
DeleteGlad you found a group of your liking. And in five minutes wow!!! I wish I could arrange my thoughts like this in 5 minutes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rajlakshmi. I love free writes. I do most of my writing that way. if I think too hard, I simply cannot write.
DeleteDear Suzy ...I always find myself connected with your thoughts in different ways...and I am happy that there is a group which can inspire in such a way....All the best!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shellymona. Glad you connect with my thoughts.
DeleteIsn't it amazing how God leads us, Suzy! I had attempted the 5-minute Friday before, but forgot about it, until I saw Bethany Miller's post. I'm hoping to do this every Friday. Are you? :)
ReplyDeleteHe never fails to show us the way. Yes I plan to do this every Friday too. I love free writes. Look forward to reading yours.
DeleteYes, as long as we humbly ask for guidance, all is well.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found a solution that works for you, Suzy. :) Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteYes, God has his ways of showing us the path, the light... glad you found yours! And how wonderful is that! ♥
ReplyDeleteJust yesterday I prayed that God would give me a sign of what I must do. If I am to write, I prayed he would give me the words and a story would flow. Needless to say...today went so much smoother.
