The Same Message - Repeated 3 Times Today
The Message I Heard Three Times
Some mornings, God seems to repeat Himself until you finally hear Him. This was one of those mornings — the same message, from three unconnected people, in a single day.
Messenger OneLove & Gratitude
This morning, as I was cleaning up the kitchen, my phone reminded me about an important conference call. I dialed in, muted myself, and listened while I worked. Toward the end, I stopped what I was doing the moment Natalie began to speak. I love listening to her inspired counsel. Despite the hardships she has walked through, she has become deeply successful — in her career and in her family life.
Her message — the one she shares every single time we talk — is to fill your life with love and gratitude. And today, I finally got it. Her way of moving through life is to look for something to be grateful for in every situation, and for ways to genuinely love the people she shares space with. No matter her circumstances, no matter who she’s speaking with, she chooses to operate from a place of complete love and gratitude. I realized that by doing this, she quietly repels the negative and draws the good toward herself and her family.
Messenger Two - Frequency
Later, a dear friend — someone my husband and I have loved for many years — came by to catch up. There was no agenda: nothing to sell, no one to rescue or convince. Just the kind of friendship where the conversation flows for hours, full of laughter and depth, and you walk away a better person for it.
Today’s conversation turned to a book he’s writing. He said it was all about frequency. As he explained it, I pulled out my phone and started taking notes — because although the ideas weren’t brand new, the way he framed them felt like hearing the Gospel in an entirely new light. He talked about four things:Taking ownership
Forgiveness
Gratitude
Replacing old beliefs with new ones
He’d read countless books on undoing the limiting beliefs that quietly sabotage us, but he said real change only came when he truly understood and applied those four. We only set out to change what we genuinely want to change, he explained — and before we can create something in the physical world, we first have to create it in our minds. We’ll only trade something away for what we perceive to be of higher value.
Then he talked about how each of us emits a certain frequency — and how, when we raise our own, it lifts everyone around us. He described tracing beliefs all the way back to childhood, walking through those four steps, and feeling an enormous shift as a result. We talked about how frequency changes between people when they play hard and work together — a round of golf, a shared project, a friendly competition — and how trust grows in that space. He had a different energy about him: surer of himself, more confident. It was motivating to watch, and both my husband and I promised to apply what he shared and report back.

Messenger Three - The Pattern
That afternoon, I got an email from a well-known naturopath — someone known for teaching people about cleansing and eating well. I was surprised by the subject line, because it had nothing to do with food: “Learn and Master the Secret to Knowing Your Purpose and Having a Purpose-Driven Life.” Not really my interest that day — but I was about to deep-clean my kitchen, the replay was only available for one day, and I figured I’d feel more productive learning while I scrubbed. So I turned up the speakers and pressed play.
And when she began talking about frequency — for the third time in a single day — I finally saw it.
Natalie had spoken of using love and gratitude to shift any circumstance. My friend had named ownership, forgiveness, gratitude, and rewriting old beliefs — and as I listened, I realized Natalie was already living every one of those. And now here was a third voice, saying the same thing again.
She asked, “What frequency do you emit?” She spoke about people who believe they radiate happiness but are actually giving off anger or sadness, and about how our life experiences can dim our natural intuition. She shared her belief that our inner life and our physical health are far more connected than we tend to think — and she encouraged people to work with someone who can help them identify the beliefs formed in childhood, notice the patterns those beliefs create, and understand what they may be drawing toward themselves as a result.

What I’m Taking From It
So what did I gain from hearing the same truth three times before lunch? I see God’s hand in it — and here is what I want to carry.
I believe we are, in a real sense, energetic beings. Years ago, while preparing a presentation on cellular metabolism for a university, the research kept leading me back to how deeply our thoughts and our stress can influence us right down to the cellular level — and how the energy of the people around us influences us too. I can see how living alongside someone operating from a low, heavy place — for whatever reason, whether old wounds or hard circumstances — can slowly pull others down simply through nearness. And I’ve seen the reverse: as a person lifts into more joy, sometimes others drift away, uncomfortable with a healthier way of moving through the world.
My thoughts turn to whoever is reading this. I spent many years caught in a very difficult dance. By God’s tender guidance, my confidence was restored — and once it was, I could finally look around, see clearly, and change the way I let others dance with me. There was friction at first, as people adjusted to my asking not to be stepped on. I once said at church that when we “dance with Christ,” He teaches us the proper technique — and then we can teach it to others. We stop being willing to dance in a way that wounds.
Your circumstances — and mine — will never change until we do.
I remember how hard it was to choose to go to Mexico. The real shift came the moment I decided my life was worth the cost. Do we truly know our own value?
A Little Reminder of Who You Are
Some of my very favorite books to read with my kids are Max Lucado’s Wemmicks stories. Each of us is a Wemmick — handcrafted by the Master. As we bring ourselves to Him, He helps lift our frequency, our energy, our peace (call it whatever you like), and in turn we get to help others.
My favorite Max Lucado books:You Are Special
Because I Love You
You Are Mine
Please choose to dance in a way that brings you joy. I pray that those who ask to dance with you do so with respect and dignity — in a way that complements you, that draws out your very best, that leaves you smiling for days. Find your inner smile, and let go of every belief that crushes your beauty. Name the untrue things you’ve believed, and rewrite them. Look at your circumstances with gratitude and with love. Those hard seasons made you who you are today.
Cheering for you!
With much love,
Steffi
