When the Breeze Found Me

A few months ago, I shared in a blog that I had started communicating with God through writing.

What began as a curiosity has now become sacred.

Every day during my prayer time, I sit in gratitude and then ask one simple question:

“God, what would you have me know today?”

And the words come.

Dear God, What Would You Have Me Know Today?

Sometimes they’re crystal clear.

Sometimes I don’t quite know what to do with them.

And sometimes it’s days or weeks later when I suddenly go, oh… that’s what that meant.

It’s become a daily conversation — what the kids call 'transmissions' or 'downloads'— and what I experience is a very real, very personal dialogue with God. I’m learning how to listen better. How to project less. How to trust what’s coming through. And honestly, my connection with God has grown stronger because of it.

Before I go any further, I want to ask you something too:

How do YOU commune with God… or the Universe… or Spirit… or Nature?

And how do the answers show up for you?

I’m really loving this direct line. And would love to hear your experience.

How does God communicate with you?

The last few days, though, I missed it.

Life had gotten lifey.

My son had been in the hospital.

Days were about care, logistics, keeping it together.

The space where I usually sit with God hadn’t gone anywhere — I had just been somewhere else.

Today, I intentionally came back.

No ceremony. No performance.

Just me, God, and a notebook.

I told Him I’d missed our connection — even though I don’t always understand the conversation while it’s happening. I told Him I could feel His protection around us, keeping us exactly where we are… even though part of me is still waiting for the big moment. The dramatic shift. The thing that makes everything suddenly make sense.

And honestly, I think a lot of us pray like that.

We pray for how we think change should look.

In spiritual spaces, we call it manifestation — expecting things to arrive in a certain form, on a certain timeline. And I’ve definitely been there, waiting for the external world to rearrange itself in some obvious, undeniable way.

But when I really stopped and looked, something surprised me.

Externally, not much had changed.

Internally… I had changed a lot.

So much so that I almost missed it.

The shifts were subtle. Quiet. Easy to overlook if you’re only watching for fireworks. And that part matters.

The shifts were subtle. Quiet.

After writing all of this, I asked again:

“Dear God, what would you have me know today?”

And as I began to write, a clean, cool breeze gently touched my bare back. Just enough to feel. Just enough to notice. That little shiver that says, okay… you’re here.

I smiled.

I love that magic.

I love those moments.

I kept writing as the conversation flowed — insight, reassurance, guidance.

Then I came to a part where I was asking for meaning in something, and the response came clearly:

“Do not hold onto meaning, interpretation, or expectation. You will miss it. Instead, like this breeze….....”

And right there — I paused.

I thought, this would be the perfect time for a second breeze. Even though I did not know what the next line was going to be..

I closed my eyes.

Straightened my back.

Smiled.

Come on, God — this would be such good timing.

Nothing.

I waited.

Stillness.

And then, without correcting myself, without forcing surrender, I went back to writing — not even sure what the next words would be:

"Do not hold onto meaning, interpretation, or expectation. You will miss it. Instead, like this breeze..... I Shall Find You."

And right then, as I wrote the last letter of that sentence,

the breeze arrived.

Gently.

Calmly.

Perfectly.

Not even touching the wind chimes three feet away. But touching me.

Just a soft, gentle grace across my shoulder and back.

And I laughed — because that was the lesson.

The second I stopped deciding how God should show up… He did.

 Not on my cue.

 But in a way better, more clever one. Perfectly.

And right then, the breeze arrived.

The last few months have been quiet and loud all at once. Displacing. Slowing. Stopping things I thought should be happening. Forcing rest. Forcing trust. Forcing me into a level of dependence I used to resist.

I’ve tried to explain it. To assign meaning so it would feel more comfortable.

But the truth is, I don’t think the explanation is the point.

What matters is this:

Without any big external shift, I’ve become less reactive. Less panicked by delays. Less driven to force outcomes.

I still move when I feel inspired.

But when that movement gets redirected, I now trust — deeply — that something bigger is at play.

That used to be really hard for me.

Now it just… is.

There’s nothing left to pray for.

Only: “Your will be done.”

And that’s a surprisingly beautiful place to stand.

The breeze on my back felt like a reminder.

Stay the course.

Move when Spirit moves.

Rest when nothing is required.

Trust that you are being taken care of.

God doesn’t only come in big bangs.

Sometimes He comes like a breeze — not when you expect Him, not when you ask — but when you stop deciding what He should look like.

And somehow, that gentler arrival carries more weight.

More density.

More magic.

Because one day you wake up and realize:

You’re already living inside the answer you once prayed for.

Here are a few meditations and prayers I’ve created to support this kind of communion. They were born out of my own need to quiet the mind, soften control, and let the conversation deepen.

You can find them on Insight Timer and YouTube.
