Guest guest Posted April 11, 2000 Report Share Posted April 11, 2000 Thanks - and I am copying everyone, because I learned a valuable lesson this past month. So now I am getting on the soap box.... There are many who believe that the " gut instinct " that we hear is God talking to us. Others believe it is intuition. Whatever it is, too often we don't listen to it. Studies show that women, especially, tend to defer to those " in power " , " experts " , or even when we feel awkward, uncomfortable or that feeling when you know something is just not right. ESPECIALLY when it comes to ourselves and to our children, but really always, we must listen to our gut instinct. It won't fail you. I have always prized myself on being forthright, but even in this circumstance, I didn't listen to my gut instinct. Now, I know I was too hard on myself. In hindsight, I can see that. However, after reading over my journal and talking with my sister, both reminded me how often I said " I just have this gut feeling that.... " But I kept on waiting... So.... I wanted to remind everyone to listen to your gut feeling. I happen to believe that it is my higher power's way of talking with me (for me, that is God). We pray and pray for things, but too often we keep forgetting to take the time to listen for the answers!!! Just being a part of this support group shows how dedicated all of you are to your children's and to your family's growth. I am blown away every day by each of you.
