The Five W's of Life. Who, What, When, Where, Why?

The Five W's of Life

Who you are is what makes you special. Do not change for anyone.

What lies ahead will always be a mystery. Do not be afraid to explore.

When life pushes you over, you push back harder.

Where there are choices to make, make the one you won't regret.

Why things happen will never be certain. Take it in stride and move forward.

Power Thought of the Day

Without exception, begin every day of your life with gratitude.

As you look in the mirror, say, "Thank you God, for life, for 

my body, for my family and loved ones, for this day, and for

the opportunity to be of service. Thank you, thank you, thank 

you!"

Beautiful love! Reminds me of someone very special...a long time ago...

Mother's this is for YOU! God Miracles are Endless!

This post was originally published on May 19, 2009. I am re-publishing again for all mothers - whom may have given up hope; who are on the edge of despair; know that the Lord is with you! Call upon him with all your strength and grit; and He will answer! Believe me!



I am very inspired to share one of many of God's Special Miracles with you, which happened a few years ago. This proves how Awesome God is. I certainly know and understand the challenges mothers face raising children on their own, especially boys as I was divorced when my children were still quite young; So I bore all the responsibility of raising them. I had to be mother and father, I was never overwhelmed though, as I always placed my trust and faith in God and instilled this in my children, but on this particular day I felt despair.

We always spent quality time together, and after work each day I made it a priority to share special time outside of homework for us to share the days activities and have our discussions which we truly enjoyed and looked forward to.

We were facing some challenges at the time and my older son was very frustrated, I could not arrive at a solution to what was bothering him, however, I had faith in God to help me through this. So I said, "Pray son, just pray, we will pray together-have faith." He lashed out at me saying, "Mommy, I pray, I pray always, but it does not work, God does not answer me. Prayer does not work!" I was appalled, Oh! No, I thought, what do I do? I tried to calm him down, but he was so upset. I went into my bedroom and slumped unto the bed, thinking no! I'm not giving up, I can't give up. I must be able to teach my children to have faith, there has to be a way! Suddenly the words came out of my mouth to God, I called out to Him, saying, "God! You have got to help me here, I can't do this on my own, I need You. Please hear me, please, please teach me how to teach my children to have faith in You. Please, show me."

I wasn't sure that God heard me, I felt so alone. But, He did, because as I sat there on my bed, I felt inclined to call them both into my bedroom to read a Psalm to them. My son was angry, but he was obedient. As we all sat on the bed together, I read Psalm 31. I read this Psalm from my heart, whatever difficulty I faced, this Psalm always guided me through. I was deeply moved, and feeling I had to hold on, I had to believe God would help me. They were, I noticed unusually quiet while I read, of course again I thought Oh No! They must be bored! So I tried to read more passionately. But that was not it, God was working!

Almost at the end of reading I became aware that it was raining, however, I continued until I reached the last word. I then looked at them and they were staring at me in awe! I wasn't sure, so I said, "I know it is not so easy to understand, to have faith, but believe me sons, God is with us." It was now my turn to look at them in awe! As they both answered, "I know mom." What a change! Now there were tears in my eyes as they said, "Mom as you began to read the Psalm the rain started and continued until you read the last word, it stopped as you read the last word mommy!" Then I noticed they were huddled together.

My older son was no longer angry, I saw the awe in their eyes. I could not help asking, "Are you sure?" They both nodded simultaneously, "Yes mommy, the rain stopped on the last word you read!" Then I thought where did the rain come from? There was no hint of rain earlier, no forecast of any showers. Of course not!! The answer in that was my children felt the answer, they knew God had spoken, and I knew God had heard me! He did show me! God answered me! He spoke to their hearts! I was so grateful to God.

From that day on, they understood the Power of God, what it meant to have faith, to persevere. They still remember this today.

There are tears of gratitude as I write this, it is true! I was just an ordinary mom, faced with challenges I didn't understand. What I did understand was to trust God. To Him be all the Glory. Thank you God.

The lesson is we must NEVER GIVE UP! God's mercy is endless!

With God's Love,
Natalie

Laughter!

“There are a few moments when, without being aware, you are in a let-go. For example, when you are really laughing - a belly laughter, not just from the head, but from your belly - you are relaxed without your knowing, you are in a let-go. That’s why laughter is so health-giving. There is no other medicine that can help you more in attaining well being. Next time you laugh, be alert about how relaxed you are.”

Peace and Love

Listen

In every moment, in every event of your life the Beloved is whispering to you exactly what you need to hear and know. Who can ever explain this miracle? It simply is.

Listen,and you will discover it in every passing moment.

Listen, and your whole life will become a conversation in thought and act between you and HIM, directly, wordlessly; now and Always.

My beloved Prime Minister made me feel so proud of her welcome speech extended to President Barack Obama on his visit to Jamaica House on the morning of April 9, 2015.

Mrs. Portia Simpson-Miller looked flawless in a chic yellow skirt suit. Never underestimate the power of the colour yellow! Great choice; as yellow is a bright, happy color and also the color that will bring a strong, vibrant energy to any office or occasion.

I was deeply moved by her comments to President Barack Obama; where she told him how much he is loved by the Jamaican people. Mrs. Simpson Miller has a great gift which is speaking from her heart; it is real, it is sincere and it is felt. Great job Madam Prime Minister, and thank you for being the woman that you are. Again, you made me feel great pride in my Jamaica and for that I am deeply grateful.

Peace, Love, and God's Richest Blessings!

I Prophesied to President Barack Obama via Email to The White House; That He Was Going to Do Very Well In His Presidency (2010)

I wrote the following via email to the White House on January 18,2010; five years ago. The email speaks for itself. In this correspondence as you will see; I predicted that President Barack Obama would do very well despite the challenges he may have ahead of him (my great gift from God; the gift of prophecy) - he went on to win a second term! And has become an exceptional leader! I remember this moment very well. 

I felt inspired to share this as President Obama visited Jamaica recently and brought a fresh, wonderful energy and perspective to our Jamaican people. He possesses what I call all the beatitudes of a great leader. 

His visit to our beautiful island is and will always be an unforgettable dream!

Dear Mr. President,

It is with heartfelt love that I write this note today. I am writing with regard to the crisis in Haiti and your wonderfully prompt response. Please allow me to introduce myself; my name is Natalie Ann Thompson, by profession I am an administrative and customer service professional. Currently, I am a writer, also a blogger and my website is becomingonewithgod.blogspt.com.

The tragedy in Haiti is heart wrenching, as I recently wrote on the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean of Canada's website www.citizensvoices.gg.ca on which my comments are posted, how heartbreaking this has been for me. It is so close to home. You have truly touched my heart Mr. President so many times over that I am deeply moved while writing this. It is so good to know someone truly, sincerely cares, and as a great leader you have expressed this so many times, that it is amazing. I had the desire to write to you when I saw your prompt response the afternoon of the earthquake, even though you were in a meeting. You took the time to express your condolences, you are never too busy to show your concern which is highly admirable. I was prodded to respond to this desire when it was announced on CNN news last Friday that a Memorandum of Understanding had been signed between the United States and Haiti. I suddenly burst into tears, I was overcome by my reaction, but it proved just how deeply moved I am by your decision making. Then further, your formation of the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund! I keep thanking God that our world is blessed with having you as President of the United States of America. President Barack Obama thank you!

Your mother did a wonderful job, she has given the world a great leader. Your mother and grandparents are shining their light down from heaven on you. You are going to do very well Mr. President despite the great challenges you may have ahead.

It is my hope and dream (perhaps it will remain just that, a dream, smile) that I may be privileged to meet you one day. You feel like my older brother, a kindred spirit I must say. I too was born of a white mother and black father here in Jamaica.

All the very best to yourself and your family, and God's Richest Blessings and Love. May the Lord guide you and lead you, and continue to bless you with fortitude. You are forever in my prayers.

Very warm regards and love,
Natalie Ann Thompson
Kingston, Jamaica

The Office of Presidential Correspondence

I received an official response from his office on January 21, 2010 as posted below:

The White House - Presidential Correspondence

Dear Friend:

      Thank you for writing.  The reports and images
from Haiti of collapsed hospitals, crumbled homes, and
men and women carrying their injured neighbors through
the streets are truly heart-wrenching.  As we learn more
about the extent of the devastation, our thoughts and
prayers are with the people of Haiti and Haitian Americans
who do not yet know the fate of their families and loved
ones.

      I have directed my Administration to respond with a
swift, coordinated, and aggressive effort to save lives. The
people of Haiti will have the full support of the United
States Government in the urgent effort to rescue those
trapped beneath the rubble and to deliver the humanitarian
relief--the food, water, and medicine--that Haitians will
need in the coming days.

      This is also a time when we are reminded of the
common humanity we all share, and Americans have
always responded to these situations with generosity of
spirit.  If you would like to support the urgent humanitarian
effort in Haiti, I encourage you to visit our website where
you can learn more about how to contribute:

http://www.WhiteHouse.gov/HaitiEarthquake

      Americans trying to locate family members in Haiti
are encouraged to contact the State Department at (888)
407-4747.

      We will continue to stand with the people of Haiti
and keep them in our thoughts and prayers.


Sincerely,

Barack Obama

I published the following http://becomingonewithgod.blogspot.com/2010/01/haiti.html on January 13, 2010 at 7:54 pm; the day following the earthquake in Haiti. This post correlates with the above email to the White House.

HAITI

 

My thoughts, love and prayers go out to my friends and the people of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Also the humanitarian aid agencies, media personnel, medical personnel, military, search and rescue teams, the amazing rescue dogs and other volunteers who are doing a tremendous job in assisting with the relief efforts.

I have been viewing the shocking images of the massive devastation, the traumatized, grief-stricken,  injured children, the elderly, men and women, crumbled homes; all of which were heart-wrenching to view. Seeing people hurting, seeing as they frantically dug at the crumbled concrete desperately trying to rescue their loved ones was overwhelming.

Thanks to President Barack Obama, and former President Bill Clinton who is also the UN Special  Envoy for Haiti, for their great assistance and support with this catastrophe.

May God's Love and Blessings be with the people of Haiti. 

Love from Jamaica,

Natalie
