The God in me Greets the God In You

By Rose Whaley. I want to thank God and everyone for their birthday wishes and those who joined me in celebrating my birthday and the success of the newsletter at Van Courtland park on September 7, 1997. It was a very special day for me. We enjoyed being amongst nature, listening to good music, and eating some finger licking barbecue food.

This day was one of the transitional events of my life. I had to realize some truths about myself. I thought it was about significant people, but God made it clear. After five days, I understood it all, “you can not have growth and stay in the same consciousness.” I was hurt and disappointed because certain people I expected to come did not. It felt like something was dying inside me, so something new can be reborn. It was not easy trying to let go of old emotions and people who no longer serve my higher self.

That night I watched my favorite television show “Touch by an Angel.” Tess told Monica, “do not let your feelings get in the way of what you know.” The program helped me recognize this truth about myself.

When the day was over I realized all the special people were there and their presence was so profound. Who took part in something greater than they knew. I went through a change of consciousness. I want to thank all those who attended my birthday celebration: my three children, Herman, Adrienne, Clifford and, my grandson Lesley who is always there, my son’s friend Lee, Eunice (a friend I just met six months ago), they only stayed for a few minutes, my daughter’s friend Linda (who were dealing with death in her family and had a injured foot), Naeisha and Jurjis (who was only notified two days prior), Reggie, a friend I met a year ago (he came at the end of the day because of family matter), Now! And my companion Ernest who helped me throughout the whole day with support and understanding. He was reading to me, from this powerful, enlightening book entitled The Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav. Finally, I want to thank Jurjis for leading us in a closing visual meditation of love.

I panicked and the fear took over my faith. I did not want the caterer or myself to lose our investments. I took my faith out of God and put it in what man was saying. So I canceled. This was a big mistake. It did not rain that night. I was hurting really bad. My daughter felt my pain, she told me to meditate and ask God to make it rain to avoid the financial loss. I tried, he/she said no, you did not trust me. I thought I knew better never to doubt God. I felt like I had let God down. Ha! my Christ-self said “you let yourself down.” At this point, I was confused and wanted to give up. I did not believe I could pick-up the pieces or just did not want to.

The next morning, I went for a long meditation walk which helped me feel better. I met up with a good friend of mine, Melvise (she is a funny lady who always makes me laugh). When I cancelled my affair, she went to a pool party. She could not sleep that morning, so she decided to go to early mass. She told me the title of the sermon was “Put it in the hands of God and see what he can do.” I thanked her and told her to go get some sleep now, you delivered the message.

I rescheduled the affair for September 7th and decided to celebrate my birthday too. I asked God for a hot night and no rain. In spite of the weather reports predicting a hurricane, I walked on faith and kept it. When people called to inquire if I would cancel, I said “No! No! No!, I will be there no matter what.” The affair was a complete success.

What is amazing is that God and I went through this before. On June 27, 1992, at the same location, the weather report predicted heavy rains for that night. The night before it rained hard all night and some that day. But I kept my faith in God, the rain cleared and it was a beautiful night. We all have faith. This faith could be in God and/or hate, fear, man, limitation or self doubt, etc. Remember, God is always in control. I cannot wait until my 50th birthday. God love You
