“Make friends with the angels, who though invisible are always with you. Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all your temporal and spiritual affairs.”
— Saint Francis de Sales
WHEN IT COMES TO our priorities, we’re not always on the same page with Spirit. When we get caught up in our busy-busy stuff, we can lose sight of our soul’s purpose. It’s easy to do. Given half a chance, the angels will nudge you quite firmly to get on with the important stuff. If you know how to listen, they’ll focus you like a laser.
Reminders to use our gifts
A writer I was helping had been told she had a certain spiritual gift. She kept being asked by others why she wasn’t using it. She didn’t think she knew how. When she came for some coaching for her spiritual book, I gave her the exact same message, plus guidance on how to get started using her gift. At first, she tried it and got nothing. But within a few days, she had a breakthrough. The angels used me to show her a big priority.
Reminders to get the word out
I’m writing this article after receiving some “priority adjustments” myself. In my coaching practice, I was usually helping fiction or memoir writers. I began to notice that more writers who wanted to write a spiritual book were coming to me. I realized this was Spirit showing me a path. I got excited and realized I could add a new page to my website with keywords that would help more spiritual writers find me.
But did I get around to it? (Ahem.)
She’d been sent to me because I knew how to help her shift her mindset and write the book Spirit wanted to go partners with her on—instead of the one she was trying to write on her own; one that was not as deep as she could go with the help of Spirit.
Fast forward about six months. I had been sent another client who wanted to write a spiritual book. The signs were unmistakable. She’d been sent to me because I knew how to help her shift her mindset and write the book Spirit wanted to go partners with her on—instead of the one she was trying to write on her own; one that was not as deep as she could go with the help of Spirit. I talk with Archangel Gabriel a lot. I was receiving intuitions from AG about this writer when the topic of the new web page was also raised. I said, “Thanks for the reminder” and I was about to say “I’ll add it to my to-do list” when I got a firm, wordless message:
Do it today. At least make a start on it.
Connection with Spirit is the top priority
I’ll make another confession. As I was working on my new web page, I caught fire with it and didn’t want to quit until I was done. However, I’d missed my morning spiritual practice and had promised Spirit I would make it up later in the day. When it came time to go to my meditation chair, I didn’t want to. I wanted to finish my new web page.
(Yah, a bit ironic after procrastinating for so long!)
I made all kinds of justifications out loud and promised to catch up on my meditation tomorrow. But I just couldn’t win against the firm nudges from on high. I finally shut off my laptop and went into my quiet room. I ended up having such a potent, profound experience, I would not have wanted to miss it. Special moments cannot be reproduced at a more convenient time. That specific day was ripe for the experience I had.
I was beyond glad I listened when Spirit showed me my priority.
Angels love to help us
Angels love helping us express our deepest wisdom and passion out in the world (and for our own benefit). If we want the nudges and support, all we have to do is listen. Once we commit to noticing, the signs and messages are all over the place.
My thanks to Archangel Gabriel for all the help with this article.
I recently gave a presentation of Angels leaving many to think differently of their presence and how important they are to us. Great article.
Milli, We are born with Guardian Angels/Spirit guides. We are their job and they take that job very seriously. An extension of that job is to be sure we stay on the path of our Life-purpose, which you are helping many writers do. Thank you! You, Milli, are what is known as an Earth Angel.
Thank you, Kat! I’ve been making extra-extra efforts lately to drop self-doubt so I can be more connected to Spirit, but it’s always wonderful to have some human acknowledgment as well. It means a lot to hear you say that, because I know you’re VERY connected. (Been reading more chapters of your book.)
Oh! this was such a nice read! I am so tempted to search for the page on your website! Did you complete it…lol I am going to listen to my own angels, from whom I received a list of priorities while walking this morning, and go back to helping my daughter pack for college and cook for my family. Please share the link with us on TWOFC! Thank you for think magical post!!!
Nathalie, thank you for your enthusiasm about my article; your comment added a happy lift to my morning! To answer your question: Yes, I did complete the web page I’d been nudged to do for spiritual book coach. I also completed a new web page offering the service of accountability coach for anyone with a goal or project, and that was in response to a separate reminder that was very clear. My preconceived feeling was that I didn’t have “time” for either of those activities this week, but that turned out to be false.
I love that you got all that angel guidance while out walking and it was all about nurturing your family!
P.S. You invited me to share the link on TWOFC. Did you mean the link for my new web page? I don’t know what the guidelines are for making promotional-type posts. Don’t want to mess it up, so let me know the rules. Thank you! 🙂
Oh! I guess I could say; force of ˈhabit 😉 We used to have a “Share Your Business Monday” discussion thread. We made changes to the group lately but I do want to bring back something similar. I will probably use a Wednesday discussion thread to invite members in sharing a website link, service page or anything promotional. I miss that aspect of the group so I will propose to the new admins.
Beautifully written Mill and what a wonderful reminder.
Thank you, PreKaya. I love seeing your smiling face in my comments!
Beautiful. I many times feel the spirit surround me and guide me. I use to shake it off and think I knew the right way and ignore those nudges and guidance. Now I listen to them and life is a whole light brighter, colorful, beautiful and full.
I used to be the same. Very self-determined and plowing ahead with how I thought I should do it. But that was always doing it the hard way! I love the way you expressed how life is a whole lot brighter, more colorful, beautiful and fun when you listen to the guidance. Thank you for reading, Raissa. I’m honored you could relate to my words.
Yes our angels are with us all the time. I had a visitation today from a close friends son’s angel whoo passed 6 years ago, which I passed onto her. We all need to sit in stillness and listen to what really is there for you, thanks xxoo
Thanks for reading, Suzie. How wonderful that you could be a conduit for your friend to get a loving message from an angel about her son.
