This week, while standing amidst a crowd, I suddenly felt overwhelmed with emotion for a woman whom I saw about two rows in front of me. I did not know her; what I knew<\/em> was that I needed to speak with her.<\/p>\n

I had no words; this is typically how it happens with me. I knew the words would come when it was time to speak (not my words and not from me). I knew the words that The Divine had for her would flow through me.<\/p>\n

I have no control over what comes; it’s not premeditated. I can’t “plan” the talk; yes, my analytical side has attempted. Want to know what happens every.single.time? None of what I plan comes out…truly; whatever I’ve “prepared” just vanishes!<\/p>\n

So, I’ve learned to let the words come spilling out when it’s time and I’m reminded of Verse thirty-eight of Chapter Seven from the Book of St. John in The Holy Bible that states, “…out of your belly will flow rivers of living water”.<\/p>\n

And almost always when I share, it’s what the person needs in that<\/em> moment. I never want to offend\/hurt or insult anyone, so before I share, I typically give a disclaimer similar to this: I’m a flawed human, so please take only what resonates with you.<\/p>\n

Back to this week, amidst the crowd…I walked up to the stranger, introduced myself and asked if it would be alright to share; she said yes! I shared what was on my heart. We both cried and hugged. It was a powerful moment.<\/p>\n

I see moments like these as: Hugs from Heaven or Dap from The Divine…a reminder that EVERY human is seen.<\/p>\n

YOU are seen!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

YOU are heard!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Heaven knows!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Rest assured dear heart, you are not alone on this journey.<\/p>\n

Hugs, strength and Peace to you from a fellow Warrior.<\/p>\n
