Signs and synchronicities have been shown to me more than ever since I have started my path of surrender in 2025. Looking back the Universe was whispering signs long before I loosened my grip on life.

 

 In 2023 I went to a Christmas church program, after walking away from Christianity in 2003 church wasn’t something I thought I’d ever return to. I have always kept an open mind to knowledge so when a close girlfriend of mine asked me to join; something inside felt open. During the Holiday program adorable children warmed the congregation singing nostalgic Christmas carols. The pastor of the church asked the congregation to look under their seats for a special omen entering the new year. He said, “Pick one word that will be the theme of the New Year, don’t overthink it; the first word that comes to mind write that”. There was a piece of paper in the shape of a star taped to the bottom of each chair in the congregation.

When I flipped over the star and put pen to paper, the word that came through was surrender.

Not “joy.” Not “peace.” Not “gratitude.”
Surrender.

It was the first word that hit my heart with meaning …no apparent reason, no logical trail my primal brain could follow. It didn’t feel chosen. It felt received. Like something quiet in me already knew what I couldn’t yet see.

Looking back now, I know it was a whisper from my future self… my soul speaking ahead of the timeline, before I knew the weight of what surrender would mean to me.

I had been on my spiritual path for over 5 years at this point, but I felt like I still couldn’t fully grasp what letting go and living through trust of the unseen and the divine really meant. I was still struggling with anxiety, spouts of depression, and loneliness. I desperately wanted to feel better. At the top of 2025 my home of 7 years burned down with everything I ever owned. I went back and forth with sadness, anger, disbelief, and wanting to fully end my spiritual path but something inside me trusted that everything was happening for a bigger purpose.

I ended up Surrendering to the unknown; quit my job, forced myself to rest from burn out from a job that drained my spirit. I asked God quietly in meditation “I want to know who I Am, I want to find my true happiness & purpose”

Soon after my initiation Moon synchronicities started to show up everywhere. I thrifted a book and inside was a bookmark that said, “she fell in love with the moon”

My Spotify started recommending me songs with lyrics about the moon, letting the Moon direct your path, and the stars above. It was something that came to me so naturally through pattern recognition. I noticed everything that was repeating in my life was telling me to look up for guidance.

 Following the Moon

Many ancient cultures treated the moon as sacred and built ritual and cultural cycles around lunar phases and seasonal renewal

The moon is ancient guidance beyond our ego.
Not the kind that kicks down doors or demands proof.
The moon leads the way it always has…

through quiet pull, through rhythm, through return. You are allowed to move in seasons. You are allowed to be in process. You are allowed to be becoming.

When you follow the moon, you stop asking life to prove itself before you participate.

You stop living as if you must earn your right to receive.

You begin to move by resonance.
By the quiet yes.
By the inner signal that says, this way.

The moon does not lead you with force.
It leads you with calm inner knowing.

It calls you back to the part of you that still knows how to trust the unseen and in between.

It does not light the entire landscape.

It lights what is necessary.

And the deeper teaching is this…

Your path will not always reveal itself in advance.

Sometimes it reveals itself in response to your willingness to let go.

The road is not always something you can see.

The road is something that’s being co-created with your inner intelligence and God.

 If you are in a season where you cannot see the full landscape, consider this...

 You are not lost.

You are being led by the Moon

This is the true path of Surrender, moving at the speed of trust-not fear.
