So last night...

I was laying in bed, next to my love, thinking of the pain my arm was in from my flu shot.

I always am one to pray daily, when things get tough, when I am down,up, sideways, anytime. When I pray, this is also my time I talk to my dad too. I like to pretend they are sitting right next to each other, my dad has just finished his day of golf or fishing. As always, I am grateful that I have been blessed with such a full life.

What I prayed for last night, I do not typically pray for... but I needed to.

I asked that I please be directed or have help finding the direction I am destined to take for mine and my families lives. I asked (in a joking manner) if there were any signs I was missing, something I was not quite doing, or if I was blinding myself from things that I need to focus more on. I do not actually anticipate to see any real signs, or hear a voice, nothing to that effect. I know it is my duty to pray, put my faith in the lord, and know that whatever happens, has happened for a reason.

Then this morning, I get into my car, turn on the radio, and the first song playing, is one song that, when I hear it instantly triggers my dads memories. I see his face immediately. I rarely hear this song, and to be honest I can say I have not heard the song in years. As I initially smiled, thinking, Hello Dad. The lyrics seemed to be screaming at me, screaming in the most peaceful way, like I needed to hear them... As I listened, my eyes fogged over... this was a sign. I had jokingly said "If there is a sign", and god wanted me to know he does put signs up for you, you might not be paying attention.

The song is : 

Shine

written by:  Collective Soul

Here are the lyrics:

Give me a word

Give me a sign

Show me where to look

Tell me what will I find

What will I find?

Lay me on the ground

Fly me in the sky

Show me where to look

Tell me what will I find

What will I find?

Yea, yea, yea

Oh, Heaven let your light shine down

Oh, Heaven let your light shine down

Oh, Heaven let your light shine down

Oh, Heaven let your light shine down

Love is in the water

Love is in the air

Show me where to look

Tell me will love be there

Love be there

Teach me how to speak

Teach me how to share

Teach me where to go

Tell me will love be there

Love be there

Yea, yea, yea

Oh, Heaven let your light shine down

Oh, Heaven let your light shine down

Oh, Heaven let your light shine down

Oh, Heaven let your light shine down

Give me a word

Give me a sign

Show me where to look

Tell me what will I find

What will I find?

Lay me on the ground

Fly me in the sky

Show me where to look

Tell me what will I find

What will I find?

Yea, yea, yea

Oh, Heaven let your light shine down

Oh, Heaven let your light shine down

Oh, Heaven let your light shine down

Oh, Heaven let your light shine down

I'm gonna let it shine

I'm gonna let it shine

Heaven's little light gonna shine on me

Hey, hey, Heaven's little light gonna shine on me

Shine, shine on me

Shine, come on and shine.

Now, I know that you can google the true meaning of that song and it might not relate to what I am talking about. For me though, I know, this was god letting me know that... he and my dad are right there, watching over me.  I am not missing anything.

Chat Soon.
