Abundance in my life

I learned this neat prayer/meditation technique called, "Conversation with God". I sit down, write a letter to God, and let my thoughts just flow. When I'm done with that, I write again, this time the letter starts out, "Dear Gerri" and see what God might have to say. Sometimes just one word comes to mind. Other times, there are a lot of ideas.

I can't be sure it's God and not 'me', but when I'm trying to align my will with His, I would hope that He is there for me. So far, He's never told me to rob a bank or overeat. The messages have been subtle and quiet.

Throughout the day, I get back into Gerri's will. Hey, I have 43 years of experience with this. Of course, I'm better at it. As time passes, it is more and more apparent that God's will means abundance and my will means short-changing myself. In other words, God's will is the better deal. I'm really short changing myself when I'm not in alignment with Him.

This has caused an amazing shift for me. I never would have imagined that a spiritual life would be a desire of mine. Now that I'm living in one, I could not imagine a self-will-run-riot life again. Doesn't sound attractive at all.
