"Spirit speaks to us all in different ways, just as we speak to Spirit in our own way too. When I pour out my heart and soul, we both respect one another for who we are."

A Time Out With Our Higher Power
By Fran Hafey/Mysti
I have on occasion found myself in a situation in my life, where I felt that things were not always fair. I wanted answers and would let Spirit/God know exactly how I felt. I would state my case and then search for answers.
The dialogue between Spirit and I is one of giving and taking. I ask questions and then sort out the answers by literally speaking out loud to Spirit and hashing things out.
Some people would say that I am flirting with a lightening strike or to be put in my place, as a mere mortal, standing up and talking to Spirit/God like that. I do feel I have a right to know and understand things, when at a time when my life seems to be going so well, and then suddenly the proverbial rug is pulled out from under me. So, I go within and also take time to clear my mind and get it alllll out!
I have been known to speak my mind and heart to Spirit/God. Afterwards I feel better and I always am blessed with being in a more peaceful place. I am then able to sort out my feelings and let them go. I would say it's much like some people using a pillow or other means to release what they're feeling inside. It's always better to get it out, then to leave it in to fester at some point.
I always have the angels, my guides, and helpers as my witness that I am usually just very upset, depressed and need immediate relief.
Spirit/God is not always immediate with answers, but can be immediate with help and guidance if we pay attention.
For instance, I was very upset one evening about a situation in my life. It had taken a turn that I had not thought it would. I wanted to cry, get angry, sort things out, ask questions, find answers, but the emotions were so high, I knew I had to step back and center and balance myself.
I decided to try and not think about it for a bit and clear my head. I walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water. On the stove, was a pizza box. We had visited my daughter that evening and on the way home got a pizza for dinner. Here I was so upset I could barely think, and I look down at this pizza box and on one corner there were reheating instructions and on the other corner it said...
"The task ahead of you is never as great as the Power within you!"
I have chills even now typing it. I was blown away to say the least!! I just melted and said, "thank you Spirit, you're so good to me and you never let me down." At that point, I cried and released some of the emotion I had been holding in. I could barely believe I found a sign or an answer from Spirit, right there on a pizza box! WOW!
The next day, I cut out that "sign" from the pizza box and placed it on my desk. I decided to take a day off. I just talked to Spirit/God on and off all day. I ranted and raved, cried and laughed, took a nap, which in itself was amazing, not something I usually do, but then woke up and knew life would go on and I had renewed faith that all would be well.
Sometimes I know I don't have all the answers and that Spirit/God doesn't seem to know all the answers either. We have been given free will. Even when things in my life seem upside down I have to hold onto my faith and know everything happens for a reason and if I don't know what the reason is... I have the right to come before Spirit and question, hash it out, argue, stomped, kick, scream, cry and do whatever it takes to find what works for me.
Childish you may say, and not very Spiritual? I am a human being and I am a child of Spirit/God and even we teachers and Lightworkers have our moments when we must work through some things. Especially when we're being told it's for the higher good and we disagree at the moment.
I know that whatever comes my way, I will come out the victor and that I will be blessed in so many ways. Usually, these trials don't last very long. I have grown Spiritually and followed my path, I have found ways to find my peace and balance a lot faster now.
I also feel, that now and then even we children have the right to argue with our Mother and Father, Spirit and Mother Earth, when it comes to a time when we hurt and need to understand something that's happening in our lives. After it's all said and done, I always feel a big hug and I go on my way, knowing that a time out isn't always so bad.
