We have to allow this to come to us. When I hear someone say it is a gift it makes me uneasy because so many feel a gift is only given for something special. > The Ancestors are so important to the Chata that if we open up to them they can provide us with many links to our past. > I had a conversation with someone about this.It affirmed what I knew in my heart.All I had to do was to put myself in the space of reverence and to ask and then open myself to hear. > I can't say if I will ever be able to paper prove my Chata Blood but my heart knows it.All I ask is to find the bones of my Grandmothers who came to Ok. from Alabama and Mississippi. I am assured I will in Creator's time.The Grandmothers will see to this. > I can't say that you will ever find any paper proof either but you can connect in a way that will give you a peace in knowing. > The Bible says ask and it shall be given and also if you have but the faith the size of a grain of mustard you can say to the mountain move.

I honor their help.I have no special gift nor am more special because I see things. > If I can help you in any way pleas feel free to ask. It would be my honor. > Arla > > > > > ==== CHAHTA Mailing List ==== > To Unsubscribe: > Send msg. to [email protected] > Put "one" word in "body" of message:...
