Re: Re: David’s Guidance

[Joanie]

Well, folks. This is where I have to say that I truly have fun with Joanie. She is a laugh riot when it comes to asking me questions. I love her dearly and all who are reading this must know that she is a brilliant Worker in the Light. She thoroughly tickles me with question upon question. It is my job to keep her informed so she is a very knowledgeable person here. So, with that introduction, I want to share what she recently asked me:

Joanie asked, “David, please let me know: ‘Of the books that I own, which ones should I read in their order of importance? I would like to read what is most important first.’ “
Well I found this incredibly funny because all books are important and I do not know what is important to Joanie. I know what is important to me.

Here is the lesson: If you find yourself stuck and you ask for guidance, who do you ask? Your friend or neighbor or fiance or lover or apartment-mate? Or do you ask yourself what YOU think?

I ask this because most often we look outside for answers to certain questions that oftentimes lie within us.

So, Joanie has allowed me to put this out there for all of you because she is, well, let’s say “a good sport.” I really admire her spirit. So, this is my response to her:

READING:

I’M OUT OF MY ROUTINE AND I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE WAY THINGS WERE — ORGANIZED YET FRETFUL, SCARED OF COMMITMENT YET WAITING FOR THE PERFECT MATE, TIRED OF LIVING THIS WAY YET SO GLAD ABOUT IT, AND FUNNY THAT THINGS GOT SO COMPLICATED. DID I MAKE THIS HAPPEN?! by Tell Me Another Reason Why Things Didn’t Work Out As Planned

I hope that you all see that the flavor of this response is not like any I have ever given Joanie. She understands that it is best to ask herself a question first before looking outside herself.

I wish you all many blessings of Peace and Happy Intentional Loving,

David
