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
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
New Fruit
Yesterday I mentioned the fruit of the Spirit and I’d like to look at that some more. A while back, I went through the different fruits of the Spirit and asked God which one He would work on in me. He nudged me toward “gentleness” and we had an amazing season together working on that. … Continue reading New Fruit
Saved from Drowning
I’d like to shift gears and share a little about summer again. This summer I had a wonderful time tubing and kayaking in the river with my friends. We went on several river outings and each one seemed more wonderful than the last. We always prayed before we left, and it’s a good thing! On … Continue reading Saved from Drowning

These were the Christians who, after Rome made Christianity a “state religion,” went into the desert to seek spiritual purity directly from God. They felt that “official Christianity” was becoming diluted … Continue reading Keep the Reservoir Pure
Crucified with Christ
What does it mean to be crucified with Christ? It means that my life ends, right? Life as I once knew it? Is that a good thing? Let’s take a look. When I’m crucified with Christ, what really comes to an end? Selfishness … living for myself instead of living for the one who made … Continue reading Crucified with Christ

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
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!
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!
