Hi Kids! ;D I am putting this in this section cus in many ways it is connected to the talented young man named GUY. Mainly, meeting you all and finding the light thru DA STRANGER (the OTHER talented one wit da beautiful soul!). Most of you know that over the past coupla weeks I have been on a wonderful and wacky spiritual journey (a bit frightening and confusing at times). You know that GOD came to me very strongly thru DA STRANGER. Bit of a freak out as to why I was drawn to this person (who I had never seen before in my entire Yankie life!)! AHAHAHAHAHA! It wasn't until he said, "GOD BLESS YOU" that I knew for sure (tried to deny it...but, yea, still knew!). WHAMMMO!!!!!!! WOW! Knocked right to my knees....literally. Anyway, well I went to church on Sunday (out to an AOG church in Penrith.....and people Penrith is ONLY an hour train ride away!! Wasn't far at all! Yah!). And, guess what the sermon was about? NO JOKE! The pastor (who is a Yank by the way but reckons he is an Ausssie cus he's been here so long! ROIGHT! AHAHAHA!!) spoke about how certain people can perceive GOD in others!! Can you believe it!! He quoted many stories from the Bible of how people were able to look at someone (when no one around them was able to) and see GOD's spirit. And, the individuals where quite certain of what they saw...even tho some around them were sceptical....just like with me! Anyway, he said that when this happens that you just make room for GOD in your life. In all the stories the people, or people around them, received blessings. AND, he said don't focus on the vessel (the person who GOD came to you thru) but make sure to focus on the experience. Don't confuse the two!!!! Well, guys.....there is my answer! And, I was just soooooo moved. Feeling so less confused....YAH! peace, Reggie ps thanks for all of you who helped me thru all of this (while i was tryin ta figure out what was happening to me!!!!) with kind words and compassion!!!! LUV "YOUSE" ALL!!! Jessypoo thanx for picking up from church!!! Mickey D's (Maccas) Yum!!!!!

Hey beautiful
Thanks for that. I've always been able to see God through Guy too. Right from the beginning I have got heaps of personal revelation through him. He has an amazing annointing.
I heard a nice little story yesterday too about 'critics'. There was this beautiful work of art that hung in 'Le Louvre' in Paris. The cleaner kept hearing all the critics pulling it to pieces. One day he got so sick of it he said to them that this painting had already been judged because it hung in the most famous art musem in the world but that they showed themselves for what they were because they could not recognise the beauty that lay within this painting.
Made me think of Guy !!!!! xxxxx

Dear beautiful Reggie you have expressed this so clearly simply and beautifully. i am moved to tears. I remember you telling me that you were told you HAD to go to church on that Sunday - you did!!! and now you know why. Very powerful stuff! thank you for posting this thread.
beautiful Joes - what a lovely example of critic blindness. It applies perfectly to Guy. Thank you. Isn't it wonderful to be one of the 'beauty seers'!!
Thank you both for a special start to this day. xxx

I wouldn't feel guilty about callling Guy's church Reg. That just doesn't make sense! it's what they are hoping will happen when it's for the right reason. Yours was the right reason. (how I am able to understand what is happeining to you is quite strange to me, because I am a 'non-believer' - perhaps I'm fooling myself???) - bit wierd - but I have witnessed powerful forces like this in other speheres, so know there is something out there!!

Frogo, I think I feel the same thing as you - I am a very spiritual person but do not pracitise any recognised religion. However seeing Reggie's beautiful story and her true epiphany has made me wonder too Like joes I was drawn to Guy because I could see something in him which in some way connected me to a new level in the universe (sorry if I cannot express this properly). He makes me smile to think about him because I feel that he is a lovely representation of what a human should be - not free from imperfection but kind and friendly and honest. I am so glad for you Reggie that your feelings for the STRANGER seem to have some meaning now. (although, in part it may also be some chemistry too ;D because there is no accounting for that sometimes - no explanation). To have some of you inner turmoil put to rest is such a relief for you, and for all of us, because we love you so . Thinking of you Reg

Dear Reggie, What wonderful news, I'm so glad for you! I'm sure the pastor of Guy's church would have been thrilled to hear from you and appreciate that you rang him and I'm sure Guy would be so happy to know that you have seen the spirit of God in him and have come to experience the peace and joy that come from knowing Him (God, that is!) I've heard Guy mention joy a lot and how it differs from happiness and is not dependent on circumstances, and it is a real blessing to experience this. Thank you for sharing this with us Reggie and I pray that you will know more of the joy and blessings that come from God. Love, Wendy xx
