Thanks for this group, I was going to start one but saw this one and joined it instead. I have six years of sobriety and love it! I have a show about it too if I can list the link is that ok?

Hi Alexa,

I recieve Neale's 'I believe God wants you to know' thoughts every day in my in-box and have done for about 6 months now. Most of them resonate with me on a deep level but none moreso than this one. Every cell in my body nodded in agreement when I read these words.
The truth is you said something very similar here in the community only recently - obviously it was said in your own words but with the same sentiment.
Now that I am on the other side of a chronic illness I am able to 'know' these words to be true. But seeing them written by someone who is on their way there was very impressive. Knowing that a challenge; be it an illness or addiction is just a stepping stone to make your way to becoming all that you are - the highest expression of yourself is a very profound thing. I had glimpses of it when my challenge was all-encompassing but I found detachment difficult a lot of the time - embracing 'what is' was hard for me. My ego was screaming 'let me out'.
To know that you are being given the perfect lesson for your soul at the perfect time and to deal with that lesson in a gracious way (which came over strongly in your post) is true enlightenment.
You shine a bright light and allow others to shine their's too.
A course in miracles tells us that all challenges are assignments for the soul. We don't consciously choose these assignments but we choose how we deal with them - you are dealing with your own assignments very well and I honour who you are.

Namaste

Maria (in the windy U.K)

I Believe God Wants You to Know:

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know...

...that illness is not a sign of spiritual weakness, but of

spiritual strength.



When we fall ill there are some who will say, "Why

did you create that for yourself?" They might convince

you to see it as a sign of spiritual weakness or failure.

It is not. It is a sign of spiritual strength.



All challenges are a sign a spiritual strength, and of

the readiness of the Soul to move on; to evolve even

further.



Love, Your Friend....
Neal

Happy Birthday Alexa - my lovely Leo Friend. You are a true Lioness and being a Leo you know how to have fun.

A few home truths about people born under the sign of Leo;

Bright, creative, fun-loving, loyal, determined; a will to help others and share their knowledge.

A pretty accurate assesment I think :-)

Wishing you a wonderful day on August 2nd and a special next 12 months.

Blessings and birthday wishes to you,

Love Maria xxx
