In the following few paragraphs I share my spiritual journey with you. I often say it’s how I rediscovered the heart of the One who called me into Being. My prayer for you is that by reading about my journey, your spirit will be lifted, strengthened and encouraged and that you might receive light for your own path.

My story began years ago, when there were many things that turned me away from the heart of God. My many life choices and belief systems had left me with little else but a general understanding of church tradition and memorized scriptures, even though I had been raised attending church and Sunday school since I was a toddler. As an adult, I really didn’t have a relationship with the Divine. But, as I was taught, when life got tough I sought help through prayer. But finding help failed. I became weary of hearing that if you pray and give it to God, He can fix it.

God didn’t appear to be fixing anything in my life and, in my late 30’s, I turned away from the church I had attended since my teenage years. However, my spiritual journey is not a story of returning to church, although I did attend another one for a time, rather it’s how I was found by God’s Spirit while wandering in the wilderness of life, and gently led home to the heart of God.

During this time, I inexplicably began experiencing dreams and visions. Then I began to discern God’s voice, slowly allowing myself to trust and follow its message. As I began to pay attention, I realized the dreams and visions were related to circumstances in my life. As I dared to look more closely, I saw that they were personal teachings, which could function as a guidance system! When I took the time to journal or allow the impressions to sink into my spirit, I saw there was something miraculous happening.

Given my limited relationship with God, I wondered why He was calling out to me. Didn’t He know I was mad at Him? My life story included harsh judgments from others toward me. It took little effort for me to remember their voices and the stinging words telling me I was not worthy. Having taken in their criticisms, I wondered why God would be trying to reach me. Slowly my disbelief and suspicion about this new relationship with Him transformed into deep gratitude for the lessons and richness that He revealed for my life.

Looking back, I see I started my journey in the perfect place. While I thought I was in his home every week busy doing his work with church services, church suppers, church meetings, teaching, church cleaning, vacation bible school, church committees, working full time in my private practice, a busy mother of three boys and a volunteer in the local school and community, He knew I had not found Him. I only knew of Him. I could teach the bible stories, but I didn’t know Him. He called me out of my hollow belief systems regarding Him and who He was. He wanted me to know his Spirit, sense His presence and know that He was calling me into relationship with Him to discover a richer spiritual life, one that I could not have even imagined a short time before. In my visions, He showed me how He wanted me to curl up in His lap, lean my ear against His chest and hear what was in His heart for me.

I discovered the language of His heart to be rich with visions of animals, nature, people, angels and all of the elements of life I was familiar with. God’s Spirit used them all as teachers and messengers. I began to delight in receiving these personal parables. From billboards to birds, it was as if all of creation was communicating wisdom, encouragement and comfort. I could feel I was getting stronger in many ways and, as the meanings of these parables unfolded, I was able to receive healing and experience joy, spiritual insight and growth.

As my spiritual eyes and ears began to open, it became easy to discern and experience these Divine revelations when they occurred. Unbidden, wisdom would pour forth from my mouth when I was asked to pray for someone, my mind’s eye becoming full of pictures and symbols and emotions needing expression would well up in my spirit. I have had knowledge of circumstances that I otherwise would not be privy to; the quality and tone of my normal speech has been sometimes altered and my ability to articulate thoughts has been improved – even my occasional stutter has been gone at times!

When I touch someone in a prayerful way, I often see divine beings who have specific messages, which I am more than happy to deliver. On some occasions, the person being touched has experienced healing in their physical body. As I was learning, God’s messengers were stirring me to develop an even closer walk with God. “So this is your Holy Spirit I’ve heard about all of my life,” I thought. I tuned into his gentle whispers of encouragement comfort and guidance. I began to trust this information when I found myself standing at life’s crossroads, and I began to share these Divine revelations based on dreams, visions and symbols with my children, family and friends. I knew that God’s spirit was directing me to share this with others outside my circle of comfort, but I was hesitant. After some delay, I finally heeded the call. Based on the responses of these individuals, and the many requests to expand this work to the public-at-large, I began to offer Breath of Heaven sessions. Breath of Heaven sessions focus on the individual and provide spiritual insight, guidance and inspiration for growth regarding that individual’s particular time of life.

For a large part of my life, I searched for God’s help. I only found it when I stopped trying to find it in other people or places. I learned God was in the small voice inside that I hadn’t been listening to. One of his most poignant teachings for me was simply, “It is time to become that which you are so diligently seeking.”

God found me in a broken place and slowly began whispering to my heart. I feel I truly am a prodigal daughter who has gratefully returned home – home to a place where I could indeed discard the old belief systems that no longer served me and discover the true heart of the One who called me into being. He has called me to be one of his instruments through which He provides divine wisdom, inspiration, encouragement, strength and comfort for those who are on a spiritual path and for those who are seeking a light for that path. This work honors and reveres who you have become or are becoming and the path you are on.

I invite You to become that which you are so diligently seeking. I believe the Divine wants to have a personal relationship with each and every one of us. He wants us all to hear that small voice inside – His breath of heaven.

My spiritual Journey has taught me that oftentimes we feel so inadequate from life’s experiences that we feel unworthy of God’s attention. Can you relate to any of these questions?

Do you believe that only a privileged few can truly interact with God – and that you’re not one of them?
Do you believe that there is a God who quietly pursues us with everlasting love, encouragement, comfort and wisdom?
Do you believe that even in your darkest hour, God is there to support you and remind you of your greatest gifts?
Do you believe you become closer to your authentic self through the life lessons God has chosen for us?

I encourage you to discover the light inside of you. God orchestrates all of creation to do his handiwork. I invite you to come home and rejoice in being part of it.
