So many people are living at the circumference of their lives instead of the center of their lives. This was a statement made in the book “Everything Belongs” by Richard Rohrs. This was one of those statements that rocked me. I began to realize that for the vast majority of my life, this has been true of me.

Most of us have been taught that God punishes us when we sin. I believed that every bad thing that happened to me was because he was punishing me for something I did. I just couldn’t believe that God was ever proud of me because all I could ever see was the wrong things I was doing.

An obsession with right and wrong had stolen my liberation most of my life. I wanted badly to get it right. It being my theology, my life, my character, my family, everything. But I got confusion and frustration and like parched earth on a hot Texas summer it starved my soul of the pure clean living water that was mine.
It was a drought of receiving and giving the love that so desperately wanted to flow. But slowly, the dam broke. Not like a thunderstorm, but like a still small voice saying, “It Is Finished” you can stop now and rest.
Let the water flow by letting go of right and resting now, because, I Am. I am your right, I am their right, I Am. And out of my belly flows rivers of living water. Floods of restful being, washing every part. I will never thirst again.

As I close out this series on Entering Into a New Season, I want us to look at Joshua chapter 3. If we are going to enter a new season then we must discern and understand the times as we prepare ourselves today for what tomorrow holds. How To Reach Your Potential In A New

It is in my alone-ness that God and I communicate the best. In the quiet of my evening, when my day has unfolded and my concerns or request are raw and laid bare. As I finish up my day, we talk all while I clean the kitchen or wash my face.
I also like to walk either alone or with my pups in tow. No music or podcast or sermons. Nothing to place my concentration on or distract me from where my thoughts are. Maybe family concerns or things happening with my friends. We talk about it. Even my own personal anxieties or feelings of inadequacy I notice in the quiet. Those I share with Him and He often reminds me of the truth or highlights a lie that I’ve allowed in.
I the quiet I can really focus on where my thoughts and feelings are settling. Where I am emotional in certain thoughts and why that particular thought elicits such emotion. The Holy Spirit gently and quietly points out the truth and where it fits or doesn’t fit with who I am.
Sometimes my feelings are strictly based on lack of sleep or hormones. In these I am given grace. Those are physical and may not be based on a lie, but physiology. In those times I remember the difference between eternal and temporary and I am thankful for the temporary and I allow myself to feel it and then let go.
Sometimes I even embrace the highs and lows for a time to enjoy the range of emotions that associated with being alive. It allows me a healthy, honest physiological experience in the moment.
I am thankful for a full range of emotions and thankful to my Father for being a woman.

As we continue on with this series on Breaking into a New Season (read part one), I want to look at relationships in our lives. We all need relationships. God created us to be interdependent upon one another. God Himself declared that “It is not good for man to be alone” (Gen. 2:18). However, relationships

My husband and I are blessed to own a great house in SA. We live in that house, pay for it and hire out repairs (we aren’t real good at that stuff) and care for the upkeep of it. If there is painting that needs to be done or a lawn that needs to be mowed Jeremy and I don’t blame the house, how silly would that be, we simply take care of it. We may rearrange things at times, remove walls or update the light fixtures. But that’s up to us not the house.
The verses below all say that you are God’s house. If you are God’s house what does that say about whose in charge of your care. You can rest in that! I just think about that and it gets my mojo goin!
Hebrews 3; 2 Corinthians 6;
1 Corinthians 6; Acts 7 & 17 1 Corinthians 3
In the medical field there is a form that one can fill out called a “Do Not Resuscitate Order.” This DNR form tells medical staff that the patient does not want life-saving procedures performed on them, such as CPR or being put on a ventilator. In other words, if they are dying then allow them

In last week’s post, I talked about the need for the spiritual water that Jesus offers. All of us are drinking from some source. All of us are getting our needs met from somewhere or from someone. There is nothing weak about having needs nor about wanting to get those needs met. It’s the source

Jesus gives us a great promise in John 7:37-39. He promises that anyone who is thirsty can come to him and get a drink. He isn’t talking physical water here, but spiritual water and spiritual thirst. In the natural, our bodies need water to survive. The majority of our body is water. It is essential

Romans 8:28 has become a hallmark verse for so many Christians. Paul tells the Christians at Rome, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.” What an amazing promise! God will work everything to my good.
