God through Oprah

[There is something bigger and greater than you]...."be still and know it.... I wait and listen for the guidance that's greater than my meager mind..... God is love, God is life and your life is always speaking to you.... first in whispers. A whisper in your life feels like, 'hmm, that's odd.' or 'hmm, that don't make no sense!' or 'hmm, is that right?!' It's subtle, those whispers, and if you don't pay attention to the whispers they get louder and louder. It's like getting thumped upside the head like my grandmother used to do... you don't pay attention to that- it's like getting a brick upside your head. You don't pay attention to that- the whole brick wall falls down. That's the pattern that I've seen in my life and it's played out over and over again... And so I ask you: what are the whispers in your life right now? What's whispering to you and will you hear it? Your life is speaking to you; what is it saying?"- Oprah Winfrey

Oprah inspired me once again! I grew up in catholic school with teachers preaching about vocation, and now I get it. I understood the whole "calling" concept, but Oprah finally facilitated the process of answering the call! Hello?! Oprah made me realized that the things that excite me are my calling... so I thought about the things that excite me.... writing is one of them, business and networking is another, finding new ways to raise happy children, and finding new ways to make myself happy, journaling, helping others , building strong partnerships, learning/discovering and sharing the lesson... ultimately, my calling is to LEARN, CREATE, and EDUCATE!

I have been told and reminded that I am "made in the image and likeness of God"-- well I'm truly starting to comprehend and believe that I am a direct result of God! He is calling me to be like Him... the ultimate Creator is calling me to CREATE! And the most awesome part about it is that THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO! But to have the knowledge, to be able to recognize God's presence and His will for me, that is such a gift, because there is nothing more validating. Right now, in my life, I needed validation and thank God!, I got it.... and His delivery finally came through Oprah.

Thanks, O!

The message came from God, through Oprah, and now, in an effort to continue the message and spread happiness as I have found it, I'll ask you: What's whispering to you right now?
