Personal Godwriting March 7, 2008
In case you're ready for a break from my family stories, I thought I'd tell you a little bit about some of my personal Godwriting™.
For those of you who have read the early early Heavenletters™ you know that’s what early Heavenletters primarily were -- personal Godwriting. I still do personal Godwriting, but now the personal Godwriting is more of a sideline. I am still doing it every day. God has asked me to, and it is so nice to check in with God in a personal way every day, just God and me.
I love how God answers me. Sometimes He really makes me laugh!
Yesterday, March 7, 2008, was one of those times. In my writing to God, I ambled around with my usual requests, ending with:
“Please help me stay focused on love and serving You, only You, God, and never my ego.

I love this! God never wants us to get too serious about it all, it seems. "Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly." It is really comical how caught up we get in wanting to be God's representatives, completely clear of all but God's radiance shining through us, and how frustrated we get with ourselves when we don't live up to that intention. Then God reminds us with something so simple, and yet so profound, as this "I'm doing the best I can." Wow!
You are absolutely. God wants us to be ourselves. We need to be ourselves when we pray and turn our daily distractions into a dialogue with God.

God has such a wonderful sense of humor! I love how It comes through in Godwriting, ie: "Send your ego outside to smoke where it belongs."
What can I say Carol Jo and Scot said it all ready.
God is not only Love but also hilarious when needed.
Simplicity in every thing makes life so easy and
worthwhile . Love. Jack
Carol, you are right about God's telling us not to take things so seriously!
Jo, did God say that? I had forgotten! Delightful.
Scott, thanks for coming here and for your comment. How did you find us? Are you reading Heavenletters?
I think God does bring us along so we can be authentic.
At the same time, we don't need to be anything at all. It is my understanding that what I call Godwriting has no rules to it. Whatever way we go about it, God is there, and by His very Presence, He moves us ahead. It would be okay even if we pretended anything at all. There is no need for anything in Godwriting except that we sit down to do it.
At the same time, I think there is something about communicating with God that kinda makes us be honest in the first place!
I found heaven letters through a blog that mentioned you. forget which one. I have looked at one or two. not much in depth yet.

The quote I posted above is from some personal Godwriting done just a couple of days ago. You didn't "forget" anything. Being "authentic" seems to be one in the same with recognizing and claiming God within.
Wow! This sounds exactly like the God I know, Jo!
Scott, I just want to say that this Godwriting blog is one thing, made all the better by the comments readers make, but Heavenletters are quite another.
Have you checked out www.heavenletters.org?
Now I'm going to take a peek at your blog.
I discovered Heavensletters today while researching a topic online. I am thankful to know that there are others who also cherish the tender, precious words that Our Love gives to us when we need them the most. He is My Love, is this is how I address him, for He is to me, the Love of my life. Ever since I can remember, even as a young teenager, I would write my thoughts out to God; always seeking Him, always wanting to hear from Him. It's been 18 years now, and He and I communicate regularly through speaking through my heart.
He will tell me when its time to get out the pen and paper when He needs to tell me something rather important for me, even if its not for now. It could be for the months down the road, but I save them all, and I go back and reread.
The love that He has for each of us is overwhelming and breathtaking if ONLY we will allow Him to enter into our lives, the level that He desires. He doesn't want to be there on the fringes, Wednesday nights or just Sundays, but He wants to be there with you, looking for that parking space in the Wal-Mart to go grocery shopping. He's there waiting for you to ask for the rain to slow down so you can get inside the house without getting soaked to the bone. And he is even outside waiting for you at night to come out into the evening hours when all are asleep and laugh with you in the night hours when you chase the lighting bugs, when you did as a kid.
His favorite place for me, is the shower. I'm in a enclosed space and sure enough, just when I'm ready to get out, He'll ask me a question, or make a comment that will stay with me for days or weeks on end.
Up until now, I had never thought of them as "Godwritings". That had never even occurred to me. He's held me when I've cried. He's carried me when I've been so broken inside my spirit that I couldn't talk for months. When I closed off myself from people that hurt me mortally and spiritually, He fed me, and kept me close to Him; so close that to go outside the pen He had me in, I knew would be detrimental to me.
Thank you for allowing me to see, that all these 18 years, that there are many others like me, who also depend on their Godwritings to make it through their day.
There is a glass prism I have here at home. It's about 19 years old now. The children played with it when they were babies. They would drop it, it would chip, nick, gap...but you could still put it in the light, and the rainbows would feel the room with the hundreds of tiny facets cut into that prism.
My Love shared with me about this prism. Each nick, cut and gap, that I have experienced in my life...are the traumas that have been dealt to me. I can respond to each trauma in different ways. I can become bitter, hateful or spiteful. Or...I can forgive, trust and Lean on Him completely and Allow Him to mold me, not men, not preachers, not churches...but Him...
and regardless of how many scars I carry..as long as I lean into Him, the LIGHT of the world. I will shine and carry His Love into the world. He gave us rainbows. I have hundreds of rainbows to look at in my scarred prism.
I am scarred, mentally, spiritually, we ALL are...each to a different degree. But we each choose to either cast dark shadows or pure reflections of Love back into the world. His Rainbow. A promise never to be broken again.
Thank you My Love, for your writings to me.
Jeanmarie, this is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. Yes Our Love, our Most Beloved, our Heart of Hearts.
I can only imagine that if God had not blessed me with His Presence, I might have become a bitter woman.
Now that you have found us, will you subscribe to Heavenletters?
God bless you.
With love,
Gloria
