Have you met our healing God? Do you know how much He desires to bring healing to any area of your life where you are not living in the true freedom of Christ? For me, it was easy to say, “God, heal me,” because so much was visibly wrong. However, I’ve met lots of folks … Continue reading Have You Met Our Healing God?

Godly Remembrance
Recently was the anniversary date of a difficult situation. It’s been years since I had to deal literally with that circumstance, but the anniversary still affects me. It’s not conscious. I may not even remember the date or think about it. But when I start to feel the spiritual and emotional impact, I remember, and … Continue reading Godly Remembrance
Roots of Self-Hatred
In yesterday's post, I mentioned false accusation, and the way I used to “help” others to accuse me. I want to share a little more about why I behaved that way. Folks who have not dealt with self-hatred or abuse sometimes find that behavior puzzling. The best way I can explain it is this: If … Continue reading Roots of Self-Hatred
False Accusation
I mentioned yesterday that I am trying to grow in recognizing when the enemy has brought emotions into my heart that aren’t really mine. This is not a new struggle, but God is taking my healing to a new place. I’ve always struggled with false accusation. Whenever someone would accuse me falsely, I would help … Continue reading False Accusation
Wet Blanket from the Enemy
I’m starting to learn that it’s not always me who causes my own emotional struggles. For several years, I’ve walked through inner healing and learned to identify the things I’ve done in my life to bring emotional consequences. I’ve been healed in many areas and still have much more healing ahead of me (we all … Continue reading Wet Blanket from the Enemy
Perfect Peace
I recently was thrilled at the opportunity to hold a very young baby and rock her to sleep. In that moment, I learned something about how God sees us, and how we fight the rest He offers us. The baby was so tired and it was so obvious she needed to sleep and even wanted … Continue reading Perfect Peace
Here and There
Yesterday, I mentioned enjoying the ongoing process of working on crafts. I would love to do the same with my writing. In the past, I’ve always done a writing project from start to finish. I think I’ve missed something in that. There’s a beauty and joy and yes, even healing to be found in the … Continue reading Here and There
Taking Shape
I seem to be changing. (That’s a good thing.) I love doing crafts. It used to be that I would set aside time to do a craft project and complete it from start to finish. That’s not bringing joy anymore. I find that what I love much more is letting several craft items sit out … Continue reading Taking Shape
It’s So Much Easier to Trust Him
One more thought regarding what I shared the past two days, about trusting God for the words of a talk I was asked to give. After the talk was over, I was hit with a wave of exhaustion. I had wasted so much energy being nervous and wondering if God would be there for me. … Continue reading It’s So Much Easier to Trust Him
Worth It!
Yesterday I shared that God had led me to give a talk but wouldn’t allow me to write it out ahead of time. He is teaching me how to be more dependent on Him. I accepted. However, I put up a fuss the whole way. I was nervous, I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat on … Continue reading Worth It!
