I know it's been awhile since I've posted....crazy I know....but I've been on facebook and running and working and gardening.....blah blah blah....excuses but darn good ones.
Well today something strange happened and I feel the need to chronicle it for safe keeping.
I am a very spiritual person but not overly religious. I am by faith a member of the Society of Friends, or a Quaker. For those who don't know this is a christian religion that believes very strongly in the spirit of God. I don't do much apostatizing and hope that my actions speak louder than words.
Although I do believe in signs, I try to pay attention to them. If I do, I am often rewarded by seeing a direct link from the sign to a manifestation - small or large, religious or secular, monetary or simply an action. I don't always see a response but I don't necessarily think I missed it or I misinterpreted it, I think I might have to just wait longer.
Well today I received some work correspondence from a man named John. Very ordinary. He answered many questions and in the middle of his response he asked for a meeting with me at 3:30. Preparing my response I erased his response and posted a prepared email response. As I was reviewing the response I got to the end of the email and say in very large bold letters JOHN 3:30.
I must say, I immediately associated this with the Bible. I looked it up. The quote is He must become greater; I must become less. If you use the New InternationalVersion. Or He must increase, but I must decrease. If you're a King James fan. Either way, I am puzzled. I'm not sure what I'm to do with the message. I'm not sure if it pertains to how I view God or place him in my life. Perhaps we're talking about loosing weight, giving something away....not sure. What I do know, is I'm open to receiving more info about this process. It's a pretty broad statement for the universe to just through out there. It also took some doing for the universe to make it happen and the universe would know that I would see a higher power in the revelation. The words were not together but were buried in the email and items on all sides had to be erased leaving portions in the middle. So I am left with food for thought for the weekend.

Interesting post as for me. I'd like to read more about this topic. The only thing it would also be great to see on this blog is some photos of some gadgets.

I would like to read a bit more on that blog soon. By the way, rather good design you have here, but what do you think about changing it once in a few months?
I popped over because it just occurred to me you weren't doing NaBloWriMo--- We've had bunches sign up this time. Too man to keep up with! But I wanted to see what you'd been up to.
I like that you are open to universal signs....I see them in my life all the time too. Something big is going on. I’ve just started blogging about my own manic break and hospitalization. It’s about recovery and treatment, but more importantly about discovery of a new post-religion faith where there is no hell, no original sin, you are God, and heaven on earth is real, radiant and right around the corner. A wild and triumphant ride. http://graduatingfromgod.blogspot.com/
Greetings Thistledew Farm. I love the name of your place, it shows a certain comradely with the weeds of life and an appreciation of the ordinary. I stumbled upon your blog when I did the Next Blog button on my blog and usually it takes me all kinds of places that seem unrelated. My blog is mostly about nature but I, like you, am a spiritual person so my thoughts often lean that way.
I was pleasantly surprised to read your post that you are a member of The Friends, I am not a member, group is very far away, but I am a Quaker in my Heart, and also a Native American, smile, I know you know what I mean. I love what you shared about John 3:30 and how your look at the scripture was prompted in life and now these words have a special message for you. Yes I believe this is spirit speaking and I am inspired by your noticing this.
we are also homesteaders/beekeeper.s I signed up to follow your blog!
