In The Green Room with Rev.Scherie

What is really gelling these days for me, is understanding,that there is The Truth and what we believe to be true. Truth doesn't change.    Likenow, it's time to move.  The truth is,all is in divine order.  Trusting  in Divine timing helps  go through the discomfort.  Trust that DivineOrder  always serves the highestgood.   To Hope, gives me strength with the difficult stuff.   Ok, I Have Hope and I Believe that Hope mustbe part of my plan.  I'm feeling anxiousabout leaving the place of my roots.  Thephrase ”Home is where your heart is” comes to mind.  My children, grandchildren and family.  That is all good.  It is the me - core thing.  A dream of a home filled with memories.  I have moved 14 times. I loved the idea ofhaving a home you never had to move from, like my grandparents.  For children and grandchildren to have myfavorite sound in their memory of the slamming of the back porch door.  Along with all these other conditions toformulate the guaranteed happy life. Like must be in shape, must be successfulin my own business, must be this, must be that. Along that journey, is the me -core thing.  Accept myself, then to enjoy myself

 I am ready to move toanother level of Hope.  To believe themessage the angel of Hope brought to me so many years ago.  Hope.  For every challenge, we need hope to help usTHROUGH it.   Hope is what gets us through with Grace.  There is a difference between "I surehope so."  and  "I have hope" –

The dictionary says: to cherish a desire with anticipation;  trust;  One who, or that which, gives hope, or promises desired good.  A desired goo, hmmmm .  Again that one simple statement from a wholebook that is sticking to me like glue. God is Good.  Good is God. God canonly do Good.

  10years ago.  I acknowledged that there maybe a presence of angels and the possibility to communicate with an Angel .  I asked and Amael came, a name I had neverheard of.  I then wrote  a letter that spaced out perfectly on 1 pageof my journal. To Scherie  from Amael.  A letter of Hope that Good can come fromanything.  When I think of hope, what isit?  It is a butterfly feeling in mybelly with pictures  in my mind ofpossibility.  Places in my life that needhealing - healed.  That feels good.  To keep the good feeling  when  the brain says  " Ok.. fine but how is it 'you' are goingto do that?"  That is where Truthhas been lost in translation. Truth is, When it is ours to do we will know it, and it will be there to do.  When we have no idea, that is when hope andfaith and grace step in.  The heart says,this would really be a good thing. I don't know how but I will just holdsteadfast to how my heart feels and what it says to me.  I'll trust that with Hope and Grace.  As I do my part, Good will Come.  God being Good.. Good being God. 

People often ask me if I have a church.   I am aStreet Minister . A minister of a wedding that can be anywhere.  A minister of a baptism that can be anywhere,a minister of a funeral that can be anywhere. Because God is Everywhere.  Godneeds voices, deeds, and actions on this Earth that are Good.  We can feel God in our hearts in our quiettimes, or in church... but everyday God is experienced through each other inwords, actions, deeds and thoughts.  Somany times we have heard  '' it was thesmallest simplest act of kindness, that had the most amazingly huge impact onmy life.''   This is why it is soimportant to share a smile, a kind word, because  every person is a messenger of good.  How God works to give Hope and Grace is a mystery.  If he has to give it through someone wetrust, until we can again trust in Good. So be it. God does not have an Ego. Ichoose to trust this move will be a good adventure and Hope is what got mehere.

This weekend I listened to “ Entering the Castle” a 9 CDprogram by Caroline Myss.  Interestinghow Divine works you know?  I had been onthe deck, feeling so very stuck and I laid my head on the table and asked forGrace. I had listened to the first couple CDs.  Grace, understanding Grace is what was hitting my .. 'this is your answer'gut button.  The mower broke down and Ihad planned on mowing all weekend  and tofinishing the clearing the clutter project in my house which was in the finalstage, after 6 months of going from room to room, closet to closet.    Ilistened to CD after CD,  allowing Carolineto take me thru my mansions in my Interior Castle.  I had the earplug in my laptop, and her voicewas right in my ears.  I tell you, itfelt like she had recorded this message especially for me.  Her voice would change from the “ Oh.. JustStop it!” right at the point of feeling sorry for myself to the Truth, withGrace in her voice that then somehow, seeped right into the walls of my Heartof Hearts.  This teaching of St. Teresaof Avila, a catholic nun, went beyond the laid out rules of the church, withcourage to listen to God herself and follow her truth. This was in the day,that freedom of having or especially telling another soul of your belief couldresult in being burnt at the cross.  Thisteaching carried that courage under fire energy.  That this life we are in right now, takescourage and fortitude to take steps of looking inside and reconnecting with oursoul.  This Truth is always simple andnot easy. This Truth, not what we believe or want to believe to be true, is inthat the voice that has been shut down, the one that loves unconditionally thatnever waivers in what is right, what is the truth... our constant companionthat is God.

Now, I am writing this, because I am doing something I havethought about doing for ten years. Write an article and have it published inthe paper. Putting myself out there.    And how many times have I encouraged people,just do it!  It's just an experience...what can you lose? Well, it is easier and safer to be the encourager than doingit yourself.  Really putting yourself outthere to go for the dream you have been holding.  Everyone has one that you imagine yourselfin.  So, over the 10 years the phrase I'happened' to read pops into my mind from the voice of my companion that alwaystells me the Truth. If it weren't a possibility it would never enter yourmind.  Well, It's time.  And I do believe it's time for many.  That deep in the belly churning that sayslisten to your heart of heart... your soul reaching out that says Live yourLife.  Turn the phrase of why not oh notright now excuses  ... to WHY the HeckNOT, what am I waiting for... and Why Not Me and Why not NOW?

Because each and every single person has a reason for being.Truth.  And when we don't honor it... wefeel a part of our life, the part that fuels our Spirit, sitting on the sidelines... our soul saying... just let me know when.  We are not Full. Truth.  My tireless Companion says, carry theneedless burdens until you are good and tired of it... and let me know.  I'm ready when you are. 

Some 8-9 years ago, I took a trip to Atlanta to visit a goodfriend, and on the coffee table was a book called 'Conversations with God' byNeale Donald Walsh.  I skimmed over itreading a paragraph here and there. There was one sentence that has stayed withme, loud and clear.  God talks to us anyway we will listen.  Thru a friend, thrua stranger standing in line at a grocery store, a song that happens to come theradio at a certain time, a website you happen on to, a book a friendsrecommends , a child – especially the children... on and on and on this goes.   

For some reason, for most of my life, I have had the questionabout how to pray, and what is prayer.  Ihadn’t found my own ‘way’ to prayer.  And I heard in back of my mind, my tireless companion, saying this is amust, this is a big deal, you need to get this.   I happened on to Caroline Myss again afterputting her books back on the shelf 5 years ago, thru a session of clicks onthe internet to an interview of hers on a free radio show.  It stirred up my pot... big time.  Her interview was about prayer ... and Grace...and that this has everything to do with Healing the Mind, Body and Soul.  Complete Healing.  Well, she got my attention.  Finally I listened, without how the answerhad to come.  With Grace, Caroline wasthe messenger. That's how I choose to see it. So, I'm diving in.  What's the worstthing that can happen?  Someone mightdisagree, not like it... missed some grammar stuff?  Well that happens to me every dayanyway.  This.... this feeling ofstepping outside my comfort zone.  Thisis a Good Feeling I have waited long enough to feel it.    FinallyI just did it. To be Continued............................ I’m IN!

Her Grandchildren could do no wrong !

In the Life Celebration for Janet the Message that stood out was knowing, no one is perfect nor will they ever be.  Her friends and family had someone who loved them just as they were.  Her Grandchildren could do no wrong.  What she taught them, there is no right or wrong.  We just figure it out as we go, keep going, doing our best and do not settle for anything less than you are.

The Message that came thru for me was - we don't have a manual on how to raise our children.  We figure what works for one and then it doesn't work for the other and we have to figure it out again.  THEN, we have grandchildren, we see our children in their eyes, in their personalities and we get another chance to love them with what we have learned.  Acceptance, tolerance, patience, love, laughing and alot more dancing !  We get to live with our hopes and dreams - They can do no wrong - only opportunities for love to grow ~~

Wedding Message that clearly stood out in Dana and Nick's story was.  It just works !

What they had learned from their previous relationships is one I'm sure we can all relate to.  We cannot change or mold or hope another is going to fit into what we want or need.  It is being patient until the right one shows up.  How did they know they had found the right one.  It was easy.  They had learned to be themselves and that for a relationship to work they had to like themselves and each other for who they were... right now.   To Quote Nick   " It either works or it doesn't "  If it doesn't leave it, if it does keep it
