Is this a message from GOD?

The other day I ordered "Ask and It Is Given" by Esther and Jerry Hicks from Barnes and Noble since they were out of stock. (Someone snagged the last copy right before me!) Being the less than patient guy I am, I went home and downloaded the audio book version and promptly burned it to CD. Over the next several days I listened intently to words of the book spoken by Abraham (a non-physical entity, if you aren't familiar with 'them') as channeled by Esther and read by Jerry Hicks. A wave of understanding came over me, the light bulb over my head went on, and my life began to be more clear.

One thing that was apparent was that I didn't pay much attention to the answers. The answers to what, you may ask? The answers to the questions I had been asking.....GOD or The Higher Power, you know, the Power Greater than Myself, whatever you call it.

A few days later I got a call from B&N that my book was in. It was a Friday night and I didn't really feel like going out to pick it up. A few minutes later I got a call from a friend asking if I would like to go to dinner. Well sure, I said! I hadn't eaten and the restaurant I wanted to go to was pretty close to the book store. Coincidence? I think not! Well, OK, maybe not a big deal, but still, I thought that was cool.

The next day I was heading out to a weekend workshop and I flipped open my new book to take a peek before I headed out. I opened it up to page 89 and the headline read, "Your Greatest Gift to give is Your Happiness". I read it, it struck a chord.

Now it was time to get on the road. I hopped in the truck, fired it up and the Audio book started to play. Guess what I heard. THAT VERY SAME PASSAGE! Coincidence? I think not!

I don't there are any coincidences. Everything happens for a reason. I've been asking the questions, but I guess I wasn't ready to hear the answers. Now I am.

Since then, I've been paying attention. Seeing the answers. Watching! Listening! That Dragonfly that buzzed me on my morning walk, that single leaf of the bush waving at me when no other leaves were moving.

You may thing I'm nuts, but I think it's a message from GOD!
