SUZI PARRETT
Our Story When there is a higher plan playing out it doesn’t matter who or where you are. We live on opposite sides of the world from each other. Each of us walking our own path as Spiritual Entreprenuers, teaching and being in service to others. We had both received the message from Archangel Michael that in the Fall we would be holding workshops, we just never knew it was going to be together, after all, we hadn’t met yet. Two women both walking their path when they were introduced in 2018. Un-be-known to either of us the plan the Divine was weaving brought us to the same place and point in time. We met as Host on International Angels Network and a mutual friend. One from the US and the other from the UK, both working with the Archangels and are passionate about sharing their experiences and knowledge. There was an instant connection of knowing each other in a past life. As we got to know each other our friendship grew into a sisterhood, and in the fifth month of our friendship, the seed began to grow. Angel number five carries the message and the vibrational energy of Positive Change. That’s how spirit works, the synchronicities of God are always awe-struck moments. Archangel Michael guided us together as we joined energies and Unite in the Light was created.
Our classes were created by the guidance of the Archangels, we answer questions on how we are connected and how we communicate with Spirit. The term Spirit is used for light beings in the heavenly realm, ie. Creator, God, Masters, Angels, Archangel, Spirit Guides, and many others. You were born Connected with Spirit and Communicating with Spirit is your Divine Birth Right! We open the portal to angelic teachings and hope to help you understand how and why we have been given so many wonderful helpers to assist us through life, in peace, love, and abundance. The information we share has shifted our way of walking in the world, and our desire is to help you make that shift and understand we have many helpers. We offer 6 mini-classes in connecting with your Angels and a new look at the world! If you’re looking for a class to help understand your connection with Angels Archangels;
you and
join us @ www.uniteinthelight.com
If you’re looking for a supportive community and a place to start or continue your shift we’re here to help. We’ve created Angel Journals as an aid on your journey which is available on Amazon. You’re invited to listen to us on Unite In The Light Network aired on Blog Talk Radio on Sunday afternoons. 3 pm CST 4 pm EST and 9 pm UK time!

Poetry Corner Happy Easter
God sent his Son who accepted the punishment for all the things we do.
Jesus gave his life because he loves us; His Love Is Proven Forever True.
On Easter Morn, He showed us He is our True Savior. Away was blown the stone Praise God, to our Favor.
For His Resurrection Proved He is our Lord and In Heaven sets Our Just Reward.
Because of His Resurrection We Have Eternal Blessings which makes Life so much Sweeter And That is why We say Happy Easter!

Article Spotlight Teresa Hawley Howard's February 2021 Article
Love and Relationships It is the Beautiful month of February and also the month of Love and who doesn’t want a loving relationship to go along with it. I want to share some tips and thoughts on loving relationships. The first thing you want to do is make sure you don’t forget your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day. (giggle) All fun aside though loving and compassionate relationships grow stronger trust bonds between us and those we love. What does a good relationship need? It will vary from one person to another, but most people would probably agree that respect, companionship, mutual emotional support, sexual expression, economic security, and, often, childrearing, are all important parts of an adult relationship. In a healthy, loving relationship you respect your partner's boundaries. You give each other the space you need away from the relationship to be alone, to be with friends, and to pursue your own interests. You encourage healthy communication and dialogue. You feel free and comfortable to say what's on your mind. A relationship is composed of many things: friendship, sexual attraction, intellectual compatibility, and, of course, love.

So what is love all about? Love is the glue that keeps a relationship strong and solid. A loving relationship is not built in a day. The threads of love take time to weave together to form a strong bond. It is only as you and your partner share your thoughts, fears, dreams, and hopes that love takes root. So trust the process and don’t rush love. It has its own timetable that needs to be respected and not hurried. Love is generous. In a truly loving relationship, we give to the other without expectation of return. We don’t keep an account of who did what for the other. Giving pleasure or comfort to our partner gives us pleasure too. The true meaning of love is to feel a sense of joy when we see our partner happy. When we see that they are sad or blue, we feel the same emotion too. With love comes empathy for the other person’s emotional state. It can also mean learning to compromise your needs in order to accommodate your partner’s needs or desires. It isn’t asking for you to sacrifice your own self in doing this, nor should the other person require us to for personal gain. That’s not what love is all about in a relationship; that’s considered control and abuse. How do you know when it is love or a loving relationship? When their presence in our life makes us want to be a better person so that they will continue to admire us; even when separated for work, travel, or other commitments, our thoughts drift towards them and what they might be doing, ‘right now.’ It is a sense of security? If we are secure in our love relationship, we know we can argue and that it will not break us apart. We agree to disagree, and we don’t hold grudges for too long because we don’t like to hold bad feelings towards our partner. Remember To Respect One Another. We should never hurt or denigrate our partner. When we love, we act respectfully and kindly towards each other. When we talk about them in their absence, it is with such warmth that the listeners can hear the love in our words. Our love for our partner enables us to act morally and ethically, both with them and in our community.
Conclusion: So if you see these signs of what is love in your relationship, rest assured that you have been lucky enough to experience, True Love. ‘Work hard to maintain this love for a healthier & happier relationship, and don’t ever let it go.’ Teresa Hawley Howard is an Empowerment/Writing Coach, Publisher, Speaker; and a Multi-time #1 International Best-selling Author and Publisher, a Radio host, a Podcast host, and a CASA volunteer.

Faith over Fear As we study Scripture, we find that from Genesis to Revelation, God’s message to His people is the same. We’re going to face giants, and enemies whose forces are greater than our own. Mountains are going to stand between us and the path we know, God has asked us to take; but in those moments, fear does not need to rule us for one simple reason. GOD IS RIGHT HERE WITH US!
Instead of living in fear, God calls us to live in faith. That does not mean that we will never be afraid, but it means that when those fears come, we face them, we name them, and then we give them to God. It means that we ask God for help. We set our eyes on Jesus, the one who has lifted us out of the darkness into his marvelous light. We shift our focus from the shadows to the Shepherd. The Lord is my shepherd … Even though I walk through valley of the shadow of death; I will fear no evil for you art with me (Psalm 23:1, 4) God is asking for us to do something great, possibly greater than anything we’ve done before: to depend on him completely. We have a choice, we can fall back on our fears and stay where we are, or we can step forward in faith, knowing that God is ready to walk beside us.
As we move from 2020 to 2021, there are so many uncertainties about what everything will look like. Things will look different for sure; but as we move forward, we do so in faith, knowing that God is by our side. He will never leave us or forsake us, as He Promised. Have Faith. Speak his Power over your life. Speak it! Believe it! And You Shall, Receive it! Stand in Faith knowing you are the Victor.
God loves us and He shields us; “The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.” (Psalm 118:6) Beautiful Expectations of Faith is thankful that we have the opportunity to be together and to share God’s love with you. We will need to be flexible transitioning through to the New Year, and walk by Faith and conquer Fear. Know that we are here to support you, care for you, and love you through it all.
Here are some bible verses that call us to have faith over fear and to look to our Almighty God for strength and reassurance! “I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.”
(Psalm 34:4)
2 Timothy 1:6-7.
1 John 4:18.
Matthew 6:34.
John 14:27.
Romans 8:38-39.
Sharon Gulley of Beautiful Expectations of Faith
Joshua 1:9.
