In my quest to become more spiritually connected to God and aware of the blessings around me, I read a lot of books, quotes, tweets, sign up for inspirational newsletters, thoughts of the day, listen to podcasts, etc. You name it, I’m signed up for it. However, I think I am on overload. Everything is starting to sound the same now.

I was just realizing the need for a slow down period, when it occurred to me to “just read the book that’s inside me”. I came to this revelation while meditating one day as my thoughts drifted away from the quiet place (as they often do). I immediately stopped the guided meditation recording. I was so moved by the thought of it, that I had to write it down right away so I could develop the idea further after my meditation was done.
Here’s what I wrote on my notepaper exactly, ”Read the book that’s inside you. Write it down and share it. You have all the knowledge you need now to do it and do it well. You can take a break from reading everyone else’s books.” Well, ain’t that a how-do-ya-do? I have been pining away to become an author and inspirational/motivational speaker as a vehicle to serve God. It’s my ultimate dream, my goal of all goals. Guess now is as good a time as any to get started. You don’t get the word of God coming to you any clearer than that!
Earlier last week, I think I received a tangible message that may be related. Work with me here.
I went running for the first time in almost a week because I strained my calf muscle. I was itching to get back on the road even though it isn’t completely healed, so I thought I’d just go a couple of miles. I got about 1/3 of a mile out and found a shiny Craftsman wrench right in the middle of the street (13/16 to be exact). I looked around, there was no one to be found, so I picked it up and ran with it the rest of the way. Incidentally, I re-injured my calf muscle during that run and have been laid up since. But I digress.
I think the message is: that I already have the tools I need at this time, and that I can trust I am able to share them with others. I don’t have a need for that wrench right now, but I have it if anyone else does. It’s so shiny and new, it could really do the job well. Someone may see something shiny that catches the light in the middle of the pages I am able to write.
I was wondering what the heck that wrench was doing lying there. Since I am temporarily not getting my cherished running high while I heal, I can get that high by infusing God’s words into some writing and hopefully inspiring others. Guess that’s why my leg is taking it’s time to heal. Now I have time to do what God wants me to do. The irony of it all!
That was a fun puzzle to figure out though!
