More Signs and Learning to Read Them

15 Nov

Here I am again, opening up about the signs I'm noticing in my life. It's as if they're flooding in now that I've opened myself to receiving them. A couple more things I've noticed in the last week: When driving home, I veer off to the right from one highway to another. Usually there's a long line waiting to go to the right. Most people just wait in line. However in the past week, three different times a 18 wheeler pulled up in the left lane, waiting until the last minute to go to the right. Normally I wouldn't notice this, except it happened repeatedly when I hadn't ever noticed it before. Clue #1: If a sign appears more than once, someone's trying to tell you something. So, of course, after the third time, I started wondering what it could mean. Hmmmmmmm, people waiting until the last minute to get over. Nothing. Try again. All three times, they were trying to go right. Getting warmer. Dig a little deeper. Go right. Waiting until the last minute. Ahhhhhhhhh, now I get it. Don't wait until the last minute to go right. (go right, get right, etc...) When I thought of that, it was as if that validation hit me like a parent patting a child on the head for doing a good job. I knew that was it. I've bounced back and forth for years with religion (raised Catholic,) spirituality and the like. Always yearned for the answers but not finding my place in all of it. Merging Christianity and Universal Law This could be a blog post all by itself. (and probably will be) I won't elaborate too much at this point but let me say I am a Christian. A Christian who also understands the Universal Laws make an awful lot of sense. When I merge both together, I find peace. Apart, for me, I find emptiness. That's good for me and most certainly wouldn't be for everyone. I find my place in church but also can absorb law of attraction information with a non-judgmental open mind. That's what's wonderful about spirituality... It's individual and we can each own what's right for us. Another Curious Occurrence Sunday night, I was driving behind my friend and her taillight was out. I let her know since she didn't have a clue. Two days later, I came out of work to find my driver's side headlight out. CRAP! Oh, well... Will just get it replaced. I'm driving home after I find that and look in my rear view mirror and guess what I see? The person behind me has their passenger light out. I think, "Man, it must be going around." I glanced over in the next lane by them and that person had their driver's head light out and the one behind them has their passenger side one out. I'm now paying attention. I'm sure there are always people with head lights out driving down the road. When you're open to signs, it's not that they weren't there for all to see... It's just that you notice them. So my mind went into overdrive trying to receive the sign. I got to thinking about it... Head lights and tail lights out. What happens when you have a light out? You don't shine as brightly as you should. (yes, that one was easy.) With what I've been thinking about lately, how I've been letting fear hold me back, how I've not given it my all for fear of not getting it right, etc... I got to thinking how perfectly this all makes sense to me. Oddly enough, yesterday I was telling my friend, Jamie, this at lunch when we were driving back to work in her car. She laughed and said, "You can't get away from it because I have a tail light out too." Go figure. Life's a classroom when you're sitting there with a fresh pad of paper and pen, just waiting for your answers.
