Christian inner healing has helped me as a person, and also as a writer. The Lord has used inner healing to help me overcome things that blocked my writing voice. Inner healing has also helped me hear God’s voice more clearly. I can also refer to what I’ve experienced through inner healing to understand my … Continue reading Inner Healing for Christian Writers

Selling My Birthright

September 22, 2012August 27, 2018 by Janet Eriksson, posted in Prayer, Relationship with God

After the crisis with the kittens was over, I thought about that moment when I said to God, “We’re done.” He knew it was the hurt talking. But I was devastated that I said it. I told a friend, “I can’t believe I was willing to give up everything I have with God for a … Continue reading Selling My Birthright

When It Hurts to Obey

September 21, 2012August 27, 2018 by Janet Eriksson, posted in Prayer, Relationship with God

It was hard to lose Crickett, so I thought that getting some kittens would help. They were adorable but they weren’t mine to keep. God knew best. After I had the kittens for a week, God made it very clear to me, through a number of circumstances, that I was to find a new home … Continue reading When It Hurts to Obey

Help Is Here!

September 20, 2012August 27, 2018 by Janet Eriksson, posted in Prayer, Relationship with God

I guess I will talk some about the summer. There were many lessons to learn and it’s good to reflect. On June 30 it was 105 degrees. I had to move out of two places (that story is too long to share) and into one, and the AC in my new place chose that day … Continue reading Help Is Here!

My Sweet Crickett

September 19, 2012August 27, 2018 by Janet Eriksson, posted in Prayer, Relationship with God

I knew Crickett, my cat didn’t have much time left. She hadn’t eaten for a week and had barely eaten before that. Several times a day I gave her a saucer of Ensure and she took a little but that was it. I was grateful for each minute with her, but at the same time … Continue reading My Sweet Crickett

Bible Verse “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” – … Continue reading No Need to Shift Gears

Too Stretched to Write

September 18, 2012August 27, 2018 by Janet Eriksson, posted in Prayer, Relationship with God

I created this category of my blog to write about my journey during this year that I asked God to stretch me. He stretched me so much that I couldn’t write anymore. It was a difficult summer. I wouldn’t repeat it for anything; but I wouldn’t miss the growth and the closeness with God, either. He … Continue reading Too Stretched to Write

Meltdown Monday

September 17, 2012August 27, 2018 by Janet Eriksson, posted in Prayer, Relationship with God

Happy Monday! I had a meltdown today. I woke up this morning, feeling a little overwhelmed. I have finally found some balance and some downtime in my schedule … and then something unexpected came up over the weekend. So I woke up a little flustered. I was away from my house the past two days, … Continue reading Meltdown Monday

Thank You for My Meltdown

Today I had a meltdown, God. It didn’t last long, but it was real. Through it, I was reminded that You are real too. I want to thank You for my meltdown and for the things You showed me through it. Thank You that You’re always here. Thank You that I can always cry out … Continue reading Thank You for My Meltdown

Dog Fear … Gone!

September 17, 2012August 27, 2018 by Janet Eriksson, posted in Healing Prayer, Inner Healing Prayer, Prayer, Relationship with God, Trauma Prayer

When I got home tonight, I discovered I’m no longer afraid of the dogs. I rent a beautiful apartment on the property of a wonderful family. They have three dogs. One is very docile and always greets me with a friendly tail wag when I arrive. He never seems to bark. The other two always … Continue reading Dog Fear … Gone!
