The story - The start of something great!

So the story starts with a baby about to be born and a little golden light hovering around the mom about to give birth to said baby. The little gold light ball is me (my soul) waiting to jump into my new body, there is something stalling, so I wait. The stall it seems is a nurse that has decided that it is to soon to deliver the baby, the doctor had already gone home and he was tired, so the nurse sat on my moms legs to keep me from being born. The next morning when the doctor arrived, angry at the nurse quickly aloud me to be born, the body that was to be mine was coming...when the doctor spanked the bottom of the little behind to get the babies body to breath, I jumped in the body, soul and body became one and i laughed I was so happy to be here. The doctor shook his head and told my mom she was in for it, it was the first time he had a baby laugh at birth....He just didn't know how much I wanted to be here! I was a busy child, I loved touching everything, the textures were so wow for me, everything had a different feel, some things rough and warm, rough and cool, smooth and cool, soft, hard, prickly.....on and on. I took the question "why" to its limit, I learned to ask everyone something...I learned to read as fast as I could, my mom was great by the time I was 4 yrs old I could read the entire dictionary and my comprehention was on mark. Mom cut me loose on her big books when I was 5, I read the Odissey and the Ryhme of the Marinier (my personal fav). I was so excited I brought the books into the living room and told my mom how much I loved them, she couldn't believe I had read them and understood so much. We talked for an hour about the two stories. My first grade teacher had called my mom in the first week of school amazed that I could read the entire dictionary, she gave me extra books to read besides the Dick and Jane books. This was when I started noticing people, oh boy, a whole new realm of discovery, everyone was so different and wow had so many different emotions, this is when my search for absolute truth began, I loved God and started talking to him pretty regular about all the feelings people were having, amazed and concerned. By the time I was seven I went to a bible school during one summer with a neighbor, this is when the big questions started forming in me, if Jesus says we are the same and that we can do what he did and More! How do I learn to do these things? No answer, Jesus said I talk to God when I pray, I sit in quiet meditation to listen to God, so how do I meditate? No answer. These 2 basic questions would stay with me for years, I began church hopping and asking these 2 questions from the age of 9 until 15. No answers. Well I decided I got more answers from God than I did any ministers, so I kept to listening to the whispers from God and kept pursuing my investigation into the human psyche. Boy there are so many ways to look at the same thing and even more ways to emotionally feel about them. I asked God one day, " How do you expect me to make this great descion, Good and evil" and make this big commitment to you when I do not for the life of me see how we are to experience all these different emtions in one life time. It can not be possible." I always talk to God as much as possible outside in the yard or at a park, it is in nature we all feel closer to God. So that is where I was when I asked this big question, I sat there for a while just being quite. My dad came outside and found me, he said he had been to the book store and these two books he had in his hands just sorta jumped off the shelf to the floor, so he pickerd them up and bought them, he said he thinks they were meant for me. The first book was on re-incarnation and the second book was on spirit guides. I read both with great interest, however first, I thought wow what a quick answer to my question, thank you God. If you can really hear me make that planter in the tree move. Now I had been told it was wrong in church to ask God to prove himself, however I was on to something big, I appologized if I was being bad by asking, but it did not change the fact that yes I am asking you to prove yourself...thanks! I always talked to God as a friend, he has never minded. A few minutes go by and I'm aticipating the wind to blow any minute strong enough to swing the hanging basket on the tree limb. Nothing happens for some time, then here comes my dad back outside, he walks up and moves the basket from one tree to another, I asked him why he did that, he said" I don't know I was watching football and something said go outside" and I saw this plant and thought it would look better over here." Now my dad was always my teacher about following the whispers and intuition, so when he was moved to go outside he did. He was always good at following the inner urges. So I waited until he went back in side, smiling at the coinsidence. So of course I asked that God move the trash cans up front. Again I appologized, but I still wanted to know for sure he was listening to me. Now I often spoke to God out loud, sometimes just in my head, never loudly, so I know my Dad could not hear what I was talking to God about, I waited, in just a few short minutes here comes my Dad again, he walked straight to the trash cans and moved them about a foot from where they were. Ha! I'm happy God answered me, appologetic that I questioned Him and so excited to keep getting answers for all my questions. Later on I talked to my Dad about what happened and he said God uses us to do the things he needs, so he used me to help you get answers. This would continue for years, every time my dad went to the book store and a book fell off the shelf to the floor, he would pick it up, buy it and give it to me. So I learned that I can get all my answers directly through God. I learned that following intuition was a big part of being a tool for God and God was quick with his answers!
