It was a dark and rainy night and I couldn’t see clearly and as a result I hit a curb going 30 miles per hour denting the rim of my tire and blowing 3 holes in the tire. I was upset because I knew that I wasn’t in a financial position to really get it fixed and this put me in a dark place. As I cleaned out the trunk to get to the spare I started to come out of the darkness as I realized that this was just one way that GOD was teaching me a spiritual lesson and everything would be okay. Today (2/22/20) I brought the car into the mechanic and at first they didn’t think they could fix it however after they banged out the dent it wasn’t pretty but it was functional. It set me back a bit however I will recover and move forward in a positive direction toward my goals. As I was eating breakfast at McDonald’s I realized that it was time to remove the dark cloud that seemed to be over my head as i have been disconnected spiritually and it was time to get back on the spiritual path and be grateful for what I did have instead of wanting what I didn’t have. It was time to forgive myself and begin to get back in touch with my inner divinity and head the messages that GOD was sending me. It is time to eliminate the darkness.
As I sat down to write this entry a message came to me that all the answers that we need are found when we are aided by the wind. When we begin to come to grips that all we are is dust in the wind we can discover our true purpose and thus answer the question as why we are here on this earth. It is when we walk quietly in nature listening to the rustling of the leaves and the grass that we can truly connect to GOD allowing us to receive messages so that we can find the answers that we seek. Through out the spiritual awakening process you may find yourself questioning why things are happening the way they are. It is at those moments when you need to go find a sacred space to hear the answers that are blowing in the wind.
Today (2/11/2020) I was off from work and I was laying in my bed not really motivated to do anything then I asked GOD what direction he wanted me to go in and as I walked outside the answer came to me and it was to set up a fundraiser with Tijuana Flats to benefit The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and to go to Starbucks and write this blog entry and to bring my oracle cards with me. I listened to the message and as a result found the energy needed to get focused, centered, and grounded. In finding the answers in the wind I have been able to reconnect to GOD and thus realize that if GOD brought me to it GOD will bring me through it. It is now the time to be the wind of change.
As I listened to the wind I began to understand the importance of change and how now is the time to become an action taker. Over the last few months I have been so caught up in my work and haven’t really been doing anything outside of going to work, eating, and going home and doing it all over again. It has been like I have been stuck for I wasn’t getting the results I wanted from other projects I was working on at the time. Then I took that walk around the lake paused on the bridge and watched the wind move the water and it came to me the message to answer your calling to be of service of value to others. It was at that moment when I realized that the wind beneath my wings is GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and My Angels In Heaven.
It is when we give credit to those that have been the wind beneath our wings that we are able to be aided by the answers found in the wind. In listening to the wind and acting on the messages held within the win we are able to attract more peace, love, joy, and abundance into our lives as we continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. In finding the answers in the wind we open the channels needed to tap into our inner divinity thus allowing us to create the life we desire. Often times there will be challenges and obstacles put in our way not to stop us but to strengthen us. It is up to us to comprehend that messages are constantly being sent to us through the wind and it is up to us to act upon them accordingly.
When we listen to the wind we must show respect to this powerful force that can change things so suddenly. The wind is a powerful force that when used properly can hold answers, power communities, and allow us to change as we tune into our inner divinity.
The wind holds a power that when tapped into will provide us the answers needed to continue on our spiritual path so that we can go from being spiritually awakened to spiritually enlightened. It is walking in nature and making the mind, body, soul connection that we are able to detach from outcomes and place emotions to the side as we create an inner peace that will guide us through the tough times and allow us to celebrate the good times.
When we listen to the wind it allows us to forgive, show gratitude, stay focused, manifest the life we desire, and to reflect on what was as we see what can be as we continue on our spiritual journey. I have found that sitting on a bench by the lake at my condo and listening to the wind that I gain clarity of my purpose. Namaste!!!
Have you ever felt like you were jumping through major hoops in order to move forward along your spiritual path? Today (2/6/2020) I awoke to find my car was toed to the clubhouse parking lot at my condo as they are seal coating the parking lot and I thought I parked at an assigned area when I did not. I went to the office to get the parking sticker for my car so that I can park legally at my complex. What should have been a simple process took a little time and it felt like I was jumping through hoops. I then ventured to Publix to turn some change into cash to donate to The American Cancer Society as part of The Change For The Cure Program. The machine jammed and I needed to get an attendant to help me. The young lady cleared the machine and I have $13 to turn in to help those touched by cancer. My job has been a bit challenging as we have been slow and changes are happening and it seems like I am jumping through hoops just to do the job properly. Through all the trials and tribulations I have been able to tap into my spiritual teachings and take a deep breath and realize that in the scheme of things it is when we face challenges with dignity and grace that we can take action to overcome all the obstacles that are preventing us from living the life we want. I have come to understand that the way things are and the way things should be are two different things. I have come to realize that in being spiritually awake that there will be people that are not as evolved as you and many will not understand that they have a higher calling as they have not tapped into their inner divinity. In the past I would have gotten angry but today (2/2/2020) I simply jumped through the hoops kept my cool and as a result was able to share that I sell mattresses with someone who then told me they are looking for 2 mattresses. As I reflected back on the happenings of today (2/6/2020) it reinforced the idea that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. In jumping through hoops I have found that sometimes you just need Jesus to take the wheel.
Through the spiritual awakening process I have come to understand the importance of having an attitude of gratitude. Today (11/27/2019) on the eve of Thanksgiving I have an idea why not make the concept of giving thanks a daily ritual? Declare that it is your season of thanks. I have found that through out my spiritual awakening that when I am connected to GOD and thankful for what I have that I create more peace, love, joy, and prosperity in my life. Though I will be alone for most of Thanksgiving until I work the 4:30 PM – 2:30 PM shift at Macy’s I have much to be thankful for this year. Though 2019 has had many trials and tribulations I am thankful for the opportunity to use my talents for good. I am thankful that I have many people who care about me and show me support when they visit www.gofundme.com/help-jdogg-save-his-condo-and-more. I am grateful to those who show their support of my efforts to help those touched by cancer. I am thankful for the opportunity to have a job where I am encouraged to be warm, be kind, and to be joyful. I am thankful for the path that GOD has put me on to empower and inspire others by shining my light bright for others to see and hopefully see that the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations. I am thankful for the opportunity to be an action taker and to show people that when you are connected to GOD anything is possible.
As I was sipping on a frapuccino at Starbucks I was savoring it until the last drop and then I remembered the commercial for Maxwell House and started to think how important it is to embrace our spiritual awakening and savor it until the last drop. We never know when the last drop of our life will be sipped however until then it is important for us to savor every moment and to suck the marrow out of life until we are called home to GOD.
In sucking the marrow out of life and living until the last drop we are called to take action so as know that we answered our calling and made a positive impact during our time on earth. Many times we get stuck in a routine and we stop moving in a positive direction of our dreams that we stop savoring things until the last drop. Now is the time to commit to savoring things til the last drop and appreciating the moments that we are creating in our lives. I have adopted and anthem of making every moment count so that at the end of the day I can say yes to the questions if I lived the day in joy and if I brought joy to others. It is when you take the time to savor things until the last drop that you will find much to be grateful for as you continue on your spiritual path. Take time to enjoy the last drop. Sometimes you simply have to make a move and dare to be different.
It is when you move and commit to making a change that you can begin to enjoy all that the cup of life has to offer and you can savor it until the last drop. It is in detaching from outcomes and expectations that you can truly savor all the flavors that are in the cup of life until the last drop. Now is your time to pursue your purpose and live your life knowing the reason that you are here.
One of the best days of your life is when you find your purpose and you begin to live your life on purpose. It is when you live a life of purpose that you grow personally and professionally. Not everyone will resonate with the way you do things however those who are vibrating on a higher frequency will be attracted to you and help you to savor life until the last drop. You will face challenges and there will be times that you feel you can not control the situation but you must remember you can control every situation you encounter. One of the greatest ways to savor life until the last drop is to live by The Four Agreements.
When we are living life until the last drop we must evolve spiritually understanding that not everyone is going to be on your level and not everyone is going to do the things the way you do. It is important to simply be your authentic self and let things play out the way GOD has intended them to as his plans are far greater than our own. It is when we face everything and rise that we truly grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.
Many times we simply must commit to face our pain and face everything and rise understanding that if GOD brought us to it that GOD will bring us through it. So many times we get caught up in the trappings of our human existence that we forget that we have the power within us to make a positive change and thus live life until the last drop. Many times we get stuck in a job that we took because of the necessity to have income to pay bill because we can not go to our creditors and say I am doing great things and helping many people can I have a free place to live.When we find this happening we must make time to get centered, focused, and grounded so that we vibrate at a higher level allowing us to become more evolved. I recently committed to being my authentic self and having fun in anything that I do and if this rubs people the wrong way than so be it because at the end of the day the only entity you should have to answer to is GOD.
Live your life to the fullest until the last drop so that you are not left wanting to have one more day. Tell those you care about how you appreciate them today. Namaste!!!
Over the last 4 months since taking on a position as a sales associate with Macy’s at The Westfield Broward Mall in The Mattresses and Furniture Department I have had many days when I didn’t feel like I was hitting my groove and as a result I have had some tough times mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I recently made a big mistake where I ordered the wrong furniture for someone. I was able to rectify the mistake however the day I was informed of the mistake I beat myself up pretty bad about it and had a hard time getting into a positive groove. I learned from the mistake and can definitely tell you that it won’t happen again. In focusing on work and my personal life I have not been doing many of the things that I enjoy which has created a stuck in a rut type of attitude which I am working to get out of so that I can get my groove back. I like my job most of the time however there are moments that challenge me and take me out of my groove. I share this because I know there are others who are going through what I am going thorough. We all would like to have a position where we do what we love and get paid well for our talents however sometimes as we are evolving spiritually and building our following we need to take on positions that help to generate the income that we need to survive while growing personally, professionally, and spiritually. In an effort to get my groove back I am taking action by making the most of each day I am given here on earth.
Imagine if you had a bank account with $525,600 in it that would be depleted in 1 year? How would you use that money? In life we have 525,600 minutes to use in a year. At the end of the year how will you measure your time? Every day is a new opportunity to positively measure time and to move forward with the plans that GOD has for you.
As you measure your time and evaluate how you are using it remember that your time is limited and the question that will be asked most often is how did you live your dash for on your headstone it will read sunrise with a date a dash and then sunset. What mark are you going to leave on the world? When you measure your time make sure you can answer yes to these two questions did I live my life in joy and did my life bring joy to others. I have recently come to understand through the spiritual awakening process that every interaction has an opportunity to enhance people’s lives personally, professionally, and spiritually. I have also come to understand that to better measure time you have to remove the people and things from your life that no longer serve you.In measuring time you also should detach from expectations and outcomes and allow everything to flow as GOD has intended. As you measure time you must stay connected to GOD so that you can attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. As you measure time consider that there is a season and purpose for everything under heaven.
The seasons change and we encounter hardships that when we overcome them we become stronger and we can keep them in our memories to use as a resource to make sure that we don’t do the same thing that created the hardship and that we take what we learned as we measure time to help others. it is understanding that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring your through it so continue to measure your time and see how you are using it. Make your moments count by remembering that GOD’S plan is far greater than our own..
It is when we embrace the fact that GOD’S plan is far greater than our own that things begin to come into our favor. As we measure time we need to use our talents for good so that good will enhance our personal, professional and spiritual life. It is in measuring time that we can see how we could have do me something differently as we are works in progress learning as we continue to be spiritual beings having a human experience. I have come to understand that every conversation has opportunity so we need to take advantage of the times we have to interact with others and find ways to make sure that the time spent is of value to all parties involved.
One of my favorite ways to measure time is to go outside and sit by my pool area with my notebook and write about my day and journal what I am grateful for that day. In doing this I find myself becoming more centered, focused, and balanced which enables me to reflect and see how I can continue on a path to spiritual enlightenment. In measuring time I have come to learn that it is not about the material things but it is about evolving spiritually so that you enhance your life and the lives of others. In reflecting about the day we can see how we could have handled things differently thus allowing us to break the chains and eliminate the blockages that are stopping us from becoming the best version of ourselves that we can become. Many times we say only time will tell and as time passes it tells a story and allows us to grow.
Time will tell a story and that story will be filled with joy, sadness, hardship, hope, healing, personal growth, spiritual growth and professional growth. In measuring time we can take some stock in where we are, where we were, and where we are going. In measuring time we can eliminate the would ofs, could ofs, ans should ofs thus we can move forward on our spiritual path and make a positive impact on the world by simply using our time as GOD has intended for us to do so. GOD sees you and GOD knows your name and GOD knows the plans he has for you. GOD also knows the talent you possess and is giving you time to use it to create the life you want for yourself. When we measure time we can see the importance of letting go and letting GOD.
Knowing that GOD knows our names makes it easier to measure time as we continue to evolve personally and spiritually. It is when we use our time guided by GOD that we are able to understand our purpose in life. The two greatest times in our life are the day we are born and the day we find out why. Now is your time to shine your light bright for everyone to see and to illuminate the world while putting a positive check mark in the measuring time box. Namaste!!!
As I sat down and completed the renewal of my driver license and registration I came to the realization that if I am to change things in my life I need to renew my relationship with GOD. As I renewed my commitment to follow GOD and be guided by GOD I further understood the importance of the phrase that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. It is in renewing and being reborn in Christ that we become stronger. In the last few years I have found that when I am disconnected from GOD I experience challenges however when I am plugged into GOD and connected the challenges I face are easily overcome. In walking in your truth daily you will be provided for and everything will work out just as GOD has intended. In taking action to renew your relationship with GOD you will find that even in the darkest moments there is a light that shines and thus your heart is lit with hope and healing allowing you to overcome the obstacles that may be blocking your path toward enlightenment. In the last 6 weeks I have gotten back to my spiritual core understanding that I can change some things and there are things I can not change and as a result I have found more peace, love, joy, and prosperity coming into my life. I have come to understand that in order to renew my relationship with GOD I must turn on my heart light and allow GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels to penetrate the light and make it brighter so that I can be of service and value to others.
In the last 13 months I have come to realize that most of the reason that I am in the position that I am in is due to the fact that for 40 plus years I have put helping others in front of helping myself. I found myself justifying this by thinking I was meeting a spiritual responsibility by being of service and value to others, which is important however if you can not help yourself you will not be able to help others. I was justifying what I was doing by thinking well I am taking action and helping other people to excel when in reality this was hindering me because I was not making my physical, mental, and spiritual well being a priority. It was when I awakened to the spiritual principles of putting myself first and connecting to GOD that things began to turn around. Though I am still a bit financially challenged and have set up a donation page at www.gofundme.com/help-jdogg-save-his-condo-and-more I know things will improve as I put myself first and take action as directed by GOD. In calling upon GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels for guidance to put myself 1st I have found myself gaining more clarity in my personal, professional, and spiritual life. In discovering the power of putting myself first I have been able to detach from outcomes and simply live in the moment knowing that GOD put me here to serve my community by answering my calling to come alive and to effectively make the changes I can as I live a spiritual life in my human form. In putting myself I have been able to pursue some of my dreams while putting many of the emotions that used to hold me back aside.
As I awoke this morning (6/8/2019) I was given a message to connect with a friend and to help him on a project he is working on. As I got ready to leave my house another message was received to bring a few of the beanie babies I have as part of Beanie Babies For The Cure to Starbucks with me and to bring the collection bucket and the Luminaria Bag that reads Donations Accepted. I headed this message and all of a sudden I felt more aware and awake. As I arrived at Starbucks I set up the beanie babies on my table and it drew attention. It also helped that I am wearing my Relay For Life gear which becomes a conversation starter. In tuning into the messages and taking action I felt myself becoming more and more aware and as a result was able to interact with patrons at Starbucks and connect on a cellular level. In waking up to awareness and embracing the spiritual awakening process you will be able to come out of any darkness you may be experiencing and step into the light which will allow you to tap into your inner divinity and connect with GOD so that you can create the life you desire.
