Ann Albers - Patience

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

We know you are striving to be patient in your lives while still maintaining your enthusiasm for future creations. As we discussed last week, this is possible if you allow yourself to live in excitement, anticipation, and faith in God's love for you.

However, we know it is even more challenging as human beings to be patient with one another! Truly you can achieve amazing levels of mastery if you learn to allow both yourselves and others to simply be as you are in any given moment of time. In order to achieve this you must start with patience and tolerance for yourselves first.

Just as patience with life requires you to have faith in God's goodness, patience with one another requires you to have faith in both God's goodness and your own! Otherwise you will want others to hurry up and change… so you don't have to! You will want others to adjust their behaviors… so you don't have to! "Dear slow driver ahead of me in traffic, please hurry up so I can stop feeling frustrated, or fearful that I will not arrive at my destination on time! Dear slow driver ahead of me in traffic, please hurry up so I do not have to look at the fact that I took too long getting ready this morning and am going to be late for work! Dear slow driver ahead of me in traffic, I am so excited to get where I am going and I really don't want to consider that God may have other plans, so hurry up!" If you were deeply honest dear ones, this is what you would be saying!

Ann Albers – Messages From Ann & The Angels – 26 January 2013

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

Today we will speak about the nature of patience. As we look into your hearts dear ones we see so many of you anxious and eager to “get on” with your lives. This is wonderful! You are excited. You have dreams and plans that cause your heart to jump for joy! And while we love that you are looking to the future with such zeal, we also know that being fully immersed in your present day, celebrating what you can find to enjoy in each moment, then you will create a vibration to draw you forward into that very future you desire so much faster. For as we have said on so many occasions, the universe always provides you with a match for the energies you are sending out – both consciously and unconsciously.

For example, say you want to create a new career. When you think of doing something that fulfills you you sigh with relief. You feel excited. You can’t wait to get going. However, if you want to create that new career faster, then dear ones, don’t go into your present job with a heavy heart, saying, “I can’t wait until this is over. I can’t wait to get out of here,” because then you are not putting out the highest vibration into the universe. Instead say, “Well here I am, and I am excited that I am creating better, but let me put as much love as possible into my day, right here and right now.” In this vibration of love, all things come so much more quickly!

Ann Albers - Align with Love

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

Take heart dear ones, it is indeed a new year, and a time of spiritual renewal for those who have chosen to stay here upon the planet earth. It is a time when your growth is going to be just a little bit easier if you choose to align your minds and hearts with God, with love, with truth. For in truth dear ones, that is what you are all seeking. You are all wanting to feel more of God's love in your life. This is where you originated and this is you final destination. Why not include this love in every moment here in your journey upon the earth.

When things do not look as you wish, choose to believe you are loved. When people do not act as you wish, choose to be loving to yourself first, and from there to them as well. When circumstances are not yet as you wish, choose to believe that if you hold steadfast to your visions and dreams and the truth of God's love, then they will come about in perfect alignment with the entire universe.

Messages From The Angels

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

Today we would like to speak to you in the topic of sharing from your abundance, because indeed each of you has wealth from which to share. We are not talking about money here, but rather the abundance that you find within yourselves and in your lives.

Each of you has material things or spiritual gifts to share. Many of you, for example, have clothing in your closets that has not been used for some time. Would you consider giving it to those in need? Many of you have abilities that you can share quite freely from your abundant nature – the ability to listen, the ability to smile easily at strangers, the ability to give a warm hug, the ability to make someone laugh. Some of you enjoying sharing your art, your words, your photos, your crafts, or your cooking. Some of you share your prayers in silence and although the world never knows the wealth you’re giving, still it makes a difference.

Celebrate Who You Really Are!

a message from Ann Albers

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

Happy New Year and as we like to say Happy New You! Happy New, Wonderful, Magical, Creative, Abundant, Prosperous, Wise, Caring, Compassionate, Loving You! For that is how we see you! This is who you really are. This is what you want to bring to the surface this year! It is a year of loving the truth of yourself. It is a year of being authentic. It is a year of being committed to being "real" with everyone and everything around you.

Look around your homes. What gives you joy? What brings you down? Look at your lives? What situations uplift you? What no longer represent who you wish to be in this world? Look at your relationships. Are you relating from a place of loving truth? Are you really being the real you? Dear ones, if you can love all of who you are, in a given moment, you can change the course of your entire life. If you can say, "Here I am. This is who I am now, and I love me! I know I am God's love incarnate, whether I feel it or not. I know I have a beautiful heart, whether or not I am choosing to bring it to the surface right now or not. I know I have wisdom within me, whether I feel it or not," then dear ones you will start to experience a kinder reality almost immediately. For in choosing to love the truth of your spirit, dear ones, you focus upon it. And whatever you focus upon with love is coaxed to the surface, nurtured, and experienced more deeply.

A Year of Authenticity

a message from Ann Albers

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

Happy New Year!! You made it! 2013 is upon you and once again you are reminded of your ever present opportunity to create life anew! 2013 is a year of authenticity, a year to bring your hearts to the surface, a year to take your dreams off the shelf and admit that there is so much more in life that you are wanting to create. It is a year of lovingly speaking your truth and leaving behind the false notions that you must agree with those around you.

For in truth dear ones, God made each and every one of you special, precious, and unique. Each one of you is a priceless piece of the vast puzzle of creation. You were not all destined to think alike, act alike, worship alike, or serve in the same capacity. You were designed to be guided by nothing less than the breath of God flowing through you with each and every one of your own breaths, a brilliant and beautiful light moving amidst the great light of God's creation.

We Are The Lights In The World

a message from Ann Albers

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

Happy Holy Holidays to each one of you! In the heavens are hearts are so touched by your outpouring of light, for just as the Christmas story goes, you are the ones bringing light into the darkness. You are the ones bringing hope to a world in need. You are the ones bringing simple reverence to situations, knowing that God lives in all the places and faces you see here upon the earth.

The recent events in your news remind you that there is such a great need for love upon your earth. When you bring this love into the darkened spaces, much like a pure child brought his light into a very dark time upon the earth, miraculous transformation and healing become possible. And while you can't reach out to every wounded soul, you can smile at a stranger, hold out a hand to assist someone, perhaps even practice a bit more tolerance and compassion there in your family holiday gatherings. You can, in your dash to get the last minute presents, remember not to lose your loving presence. In your desire to share with family and friends, don't forget to share of your own hearts. For it is and always will be the gifts of love that matter the most, and the gifts of your presence that create the greatest ripples in the sea of human consciousness.

Endless Cycles of Time

a message from Ann Albers

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

This is it! This is the week so many of you have wondered about talked about, read about, written documentaries, about… December 21, 2012! "And what exactly does that date mean," you have asked us so many times? Our response with a twinkle in our eyes is, "Absolutely nothing other than what you make it." For in our eyes, December 21, 2012 is a date on a man-made calendar based on the observation of the movements of the stars in the heavens…. and dear ones, the stars have moved in cycles in the heavens since your world was created.

You can wake up on December 22, 2012 and say to yourselves, "Well that wasn't too exciting," or you can say, "Wow, we are in a period of time beyond what the ancients could see. Their calendar ended yesterday. Their predictions ended yesterday. I am no longer bound by what those who have gone before me say I must embrace. I am in charge of my own life, captain of my own ship! I can create whatever I want! In truth dear ones, you always can and always could, however, what a grand and glorious opportunity to celebrate this truth on a day when all of humanity is ready to acknowledge a new beginning. To a degree you do this on your birthdays, at your New Year's and on other special occasions, but this day, if you make it such, can create grand and glorious change for humanity! It is after all the end of a calendar that spanned 26,000 years. Can you imagine? 26000 years of predictions! 26,000 years of struggles. 26,000 years of humanity trying to live life on earth without remembering that each and every one of you are guilder and loved by God! 26,000 years of worshiping the false idols of fear, power, money, etc. Can you fathom, dear ones, your tremendous ability to collectively create a new reality if you choose to do so?

Miracles

a message from Ann Albers

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

Celebrate dear friends! It is the season of love and miracles! What miracles would you like in your life? And why, dear ones, when you know that "With God all things are possible," would you believe anything is out of reach. It is a time to remember that when you exist in a loving reality, in that love, all things are truly possible. When you embrace the fact that you have a loving creator, you can relax into your lives, knowing that if you pray a sincere prayer for yourself, or ask for assistance, then as long as you are truly open to receiving it, it will come.

Along with your miracle, the lessons to prepare you may come. The guidance to take action may come. The guidance to release certain things or situations in your life may exist in your heart. You may receive the urge to call a friend, speak up to a stranger, or make a request of someone you barely know. Dear ones, when you ask for a miracle, you are very likely to be asked to participate in creating it.

Free Will

a message from Ann Albers

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

As you approach the holidays remember that you, as human beings, were given one of the greatest gifts and that is the gift of free will. You can use this gift to see and create miracles in your lives and upon your earth, or you can use it to ignore all the good that is around you.

This holiday season, for example, will you choose to focus upon your abundance or your perceived lack, on what you can't give, or the thousands of gifts that are always present in your heart? Will you focus on being alone or on helping others who feel the same way? Will you focus on the delights and humor of being among your diverse and different "families" or will you choose to suffer through the gatherings?

Dear ones you have the power of free will, the amazing and miraculous gift of choice. And while you may not always be able to change your circumstances as quickly as you would like, you can always change the way you experience the reality in front of you, simply by using the beautiful gift of free will. So this holiday, and indeed for the rest of your lives, use your free will to make choices that express love, for yourself, for others, and as a result for God.

Gifts in All Things

a message from Ann Albers

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

As you enter into the holiday season dear ones, take time to reflect upon all the gifts this year has brought to you, both with its highlights and its challenges. Have you learned more patience? Practiced more faith? Remembered more compassion? Have you gone deep within yourself and found hidden dreams, or perhaps faced situations in life with total honesty only to discover that they no longer suited you. For in this season of giving, before you enjoy the very beautiful experience of purchasing, creating, and exchanging human presents... and Presence... we want you to take some time to acknowledge the gifts you have given yourselves in all circumstances and situations in your life.

These spiritual gifts dear ones are the ones that are eternal. They will last you a lifetime and beyond. Have you given yourself the gift of feeling closer to God, closer to yourself, and closer to living the truth within you? Perhaps you have and you haven't even acknowledged it yet. Sometimes these gifts aren't wrapped in the prettiest packages. They can arise via the challenges in your life, the times in which you must dig deep within yourselves to find strength, fortitude, faith, love and so much more than you ever knew you were capable of being.

Cycles of Giving and Receiving

a message from Ann Albers

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

For every need on your planet there is a solution. For everyone who has excess there is someone in need. Givers and receivers are matched by God so love can continue to flow unimpeded throughout the universe. So when you are in need of anything, a simple prayer will do... "Dear God, I have a need today for comfort. I have a need for this bill to be paid. I have a desire to meet someone special. I need help arriving to work on time." And then dear ones, listen to those little urges to take action when they arise, and trust that everything is in right order.

There is never a need to "stress" about how or when things will happen in your life. If you are doing your part, you can trust that they will happen in the perfect time and the perfect way. How do you do your part? We reassure you it is not by over thinking the situation but rather by sitting quietly and asking God, "Guide me... what must I do today for myself to help bring about my solution." Sometimes the guidance is nothing. Simply be at peace and enjoy your day. Sometimes you will have a thought popping in your mind, or a sudden urge to do something or go somewhere. Suddenly you feel like doing something different than you had planned. Trust this movement. Trust God's timing. Trust you are in a beautifully orchestrated dance with all of creation.

We Can Always Bring Love To The Surface

a message from Ann Albers

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

As you move forward in an ever changing world, dear ones, remember that God lives and breathes life and love within each one of you. Here in the heavens we cannot imagine favoring one soul over another, giving one more power than another, or saying any one of you is better or worse than another. In our eyes, and in God's eyes you are all equal.You are all powerful creators. You are all made of the very same stuff. And you are all capable of the very same love whether or not you choose to bring it to the surface.

Many of you upon the planet earth have been in some of the toughest classes available in the universe. It is easy to be gracious with a warm roof over your head, so much more challenging when you are in need. And yet dear ones, look at the souls who have suffered so many losses as of late. Look at their example of reaching out to neighbors in need. Look at the woman who has nothing else to offer but a power cord dangling from her window to those who have none. Look at the ones who lost their livelihood and yet are outside cooking for their community. These people, far from remaining victims have taken charge of their souls and their lives in the only way they can - by being the loving beings that they truly are. Some of the souls in your disasters have indeed signed up for the PhD classes in spiritual evolution for if you can remain loving in dire circumstances, then dear ones, you have achieved quite a level of mastery.

So no matter what your circumstances, no matter whether or not you are happy with your situation in life, with the politics in your country, with your neighbor, your spouse, or your child, ask a simple question... "How can I bring more love into this situation now, even as I am creating better?" Ask, "How can I honor myself while also being kind to the rest of humanity?" Dear ones, God will help you find the answers, for no matter what the circumstances, God is with you at all times.

Allows Us To Help You

a message from Ann Albers

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

It is indeed a time of great movement and change upon your planet earth. This movement can either be terrifying or awe inspiring. It can create miracles in your life or if you resist the movements of your own heart, it can create great chaos. It is no longer possible to attempt to control your lives as tightly as you once did, for the energy of love upon your planet is increasing and the power that loves you, dear ones, is attempting to steer each and every one of you in your individual lives. All of nature works in a glorious dance, and so too, humanity is intended to do the same.

You have witnessed the winds blowing and the waters rising in your recent storm, but if you are paying attention you will also feel the winds of change blowing in your heart, and the tides of emotions rising. What humanity does not acknowledge and express, Mother Nature releases for you. Pent up emotions and whirling chaos in the human hearts give rise to swirling storms. Dear ones this is an act of love. Without such outlets, so many more of you would experience physical illness. Your dear Mother Earth loves you and she responds to you as a body must respond to the cells that comprise its totality.

Die To Be Reborn

Posted by: Jon

a message from Ann Albers

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

As many of you approach your Halloween holiday we would like you to take a minute to celebrate the many deaths you have experienced inside of yourselves this year. We're no talking about the deaths of those you love, butt rather the deaths of those habits and patterns of thought that no longer serve you. It is cause to celebrate when these "little deaths" occur, for as you left go of that which does not serve you, you allow your true self to be birthed into greater life.

Death walks hand in hand with birth. When you die unto the physical body, you are born into a more glorious and beautiful reality. When a habit that does not serve your joy dies within you, new patterns of behavior are born which bring greater light into your life.

Connection...You can find the presence of God anywhere you are willing to look for it

My dear friends, we love you so very much.

What you want most in your life dear ones is a feeling of connection to the light and love of God. You can find this in so many ways! You can find it in meditation as you silence your mind and connect with the love within you. You can find this connection with other souls with whom you deeply resonate. You can find it in nature, with your children, your pets, or your gardens. For the truth remains, God is in all things and if you take a moment to simply appreciate what or who is in front of you, there you will begin to see the light and love of God as well.

When you feel disconnected in some way from this love, that is when you experience pain. If you feel disconnected from another person, for example you will feel pain only as long as you choose to continue to search for God in that situation. You can instead choose to turn inward or elsewhere to find God, or if you are courageous enough to look for God even in another who is not acting as you wish, there again you will feel a connection with love.
