Day 9: That funny feeling

     I get these funny feelings every once in a while to talk to a complete stranger or to buy a gift for someone I barely know but see everyday at the office. I usually reason myself out of doing such things because it’s not normal or seems silly. There is a lady who cleans our office building everyday. She is very sweet, quiet. I had this strong urge to get her a small thank you gift. My spirit wanted to praise her but my carnal mind said that it was silly. I never got her the thank you gift but I wish I had. I think these small premonitions are signs from our spiritual guide urging us for whatever purpose he has.  Some things cannot be understood why we have an urging to buy someone’s meal or to help a neighbor mow their lawn but there is always a God reasoning behind it. We don’t need to understand why and we don’t need to reason ourselves out of following our feelings. Just do it. I think we will all be pleasantly surprised. Whether you are a believer in the God of the Bible or not. There is a spiritual, powerful energy that exists and that we can trust in. Joyce points out in her book, Battlefield of the Mind that in Proverbs 3:5 it says, “Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.” Follow that good feeling next time whether its letting someone go in front of you in the line at the grocery store or driving in a more loving and respectful way. I always feel good about myself when I follow my spiritual urging and I think you will too.

     I'm sorry my blogging has been inconsitent.  I just started my new job at Oracle on Tuesday so it's been hectic getting into the swing of things.  I am now more set up (computer, desk, training, etc.) to begin bloggin daily (I hope!).  I would love to hear how everyone is doing at cjduskis@yahoo.com.
