Diane to God:

Dear God, well, here it is.

My great idea for my next and final career is to facilitate Finding God Workshops. There. I said it publicly.

Since my father's passing twenty years ago, I have been on a quest for God. With twenty years of searching and Molly's recent passing, I feel excited about sharing what I have learned. I will take the spring and summer to organize, and begin workshops in the fall when my last earth child enters first grade. (I still have six children. Molly is now my Heaven-connection, and I am counting on her support for these workshops.)

I am not firm on exactly how to go about this, but I trust that it will all unfold in perfect order. And I will focus upon making choices depending on how good they feel.

So, God, I ask for your help and guidance on this venture. And I am so happy to be working for such a benevolent Boss.

God to Diane:

And I am happy to have you.

I will guide you and help you.

Remember that not only that this is for Me but also that it is from Me.

You are a facilitator of My Will.

You are a minister of My Will.

You are like a God slot machine, and you spill Me out.

This is the beginning of not a new career for you but of a new venture that you are doing for Me. A career is nothing. I am everything.

Start now. Plan some. Don't plan too much. Remember I am the One Who does. I know what to do. That people meet with the purpose of finding Me — it is done. How simple. Finding God. Looking for Me is finding Me, dear Diane.

Very good title. Finding God.

With the recognition of what you wish to do for Me, you have already begun.

Angels pull out their bells in readiness to ring Heaven's delight. Streamers from Heaven fall from the sky and pull you up. Laughter rings like the angel bells. All is in readiness.

Gloria to God:

Dear God, lately I've been wondering how close You are to Me. It's like I've been asking: Am I feeling Your love? Am I connected to You? Am I really connected to You?

And just now it occurred to me that I have been asking the wrong question. The question is not: How do You feel about me? It's: How do I feel about You?

I think the same way I wait for approval from others, I have been waiting for approval from You. I mean, God, like You have to show You love me, prove it even, say it. I think I've been waiting for You to say that I'm in tune with You or something. I've been hovering, waiting for something from You.

God:

Yes, I love you. You are doing fine. All is well. And what do you feel about Me?

Gloria:

I love You. And when I pay attention to my love for You, I feel Your presence. When I wait for some signal, I feel uncertain about my connectedness to You.

God, this small switch in my thinking is a door-opener. It is a Godsend!

God:

Maybe this switch in thinking is the signal you have been waiting for. Now, stand on your rooftop and sing out: "I love God."

My heart is always open.

Now you have opened yours wide.

The portals are opened.

Now you know that you and I are One.

You are loving yourself by loving Me.

That is knowing Who you are.

The portals are opened.

God and Gloria, sitting on a tree.

First comes love, and then comes Heaven.

Never hesitate to love first.

Wait not for love or signs of it.

All the love you have is Mine, and so you give it back to Me.

And some spills out along the way, and others catch the overflow.

Gloria:

I feel Your love for Heavenreaders so much, and yet I have skipped over Your love for me. I know You give it to me, but I haven't really absorbed it.

God:

You still thought there is someone else, that there is another out there, and that you are on the sidelines perhaps. Well, you are right out front along with everyone else. Out front. One to One. You look right into My eyes, and I into yours. Whose eyes look, and whose eyes are seen?

Now, do you feel better?

Gloria:

Yes.

God:

Are you on a higher step?

Gloria:

Yes.

God:

Stay there. Stay there for a while, and then go higher. And higher. Bring others with you.

Ruth to Heavenletters:

Dear Gloria, yesterday's Heavenletter was so inspiring! Like Abby, I get a lot out of everyone else's questions too and am grateful for them.

I had a lesson in trusting God more. A couple of days ago I got a frantic call from my 17-year old granddaughter, who lives in Michigan, about a very distressing interaction she had with her absent father, my son. I tried to calm her down and finally suggested that the best she could do was to pray to God to help her.

Since there was absolutely nothing I could do actively to change or influence the situation, I started to pray very intensely myself.

Yesterday, when I spoke with my granddaughter again, she was handling the whole thing with such amazing strength that I felt my prayer had been answered. And she told me, "What I learned is that the only one I can really trust in is God and myself."!

Considering the betrayal she had experienced the night before, I think she is a really grand granddaughter, and she is teaching me greater trust in God.

On another matter, I forwarded a little part of the Heavenletter about birthdays to my sister-in-law in Israel, as she has some negative feelings about celebrating hers. She was very grateful, and so I would like to get a trial subscription to her. She is my brother's wife. If she likes them, I will pay for them, so don't bill her.

Thank you.
