 A wonderful article with a collection of text from Jane Austen and the Pump Room
All persons who are decently dressed, without any regard to fashion, may freely perambulate the pump-room. Those who drink the waters, however, are expected to pay about a guinea a month, besides a gratuity to the pumper.This noble room was built in 1797, on the plan of Mr Baldwin, architect: and improved by and under the direction of Mr palmer, the city surveyor. It is 60 feet long by 46 wide and 34 feet high. The inside is set round with three quarter columns of the Corinthian order, crowned with an entablature, and a covering of five feet. In a recess at the west end is the music gallery, and in another at the east an excellent time piece over which is a marble statue of King Nash. In the centre of the south side is a marble vase from which issue the water with a fire-place on each side. When we give each other Christmas gifts in His name, let us remember that He has given us the sun and the moon and the stars, and the earth with its forests and mountains and oceans–and all that lives and move upon them.” --Sigrid Undset Mystical Tales @ Christmas | Storehouse of Weather: Creation Realities
Step into another enchanting realm of Mystical Tales at Christmas, where we traverse the vast expanse of folklore, mythology and maybe we will stretch your spiritual mindset. In this festive episode, we unravel the phenomenon Job spoke about the Storehouses of Weather, a subject that has captivated the hearts and minds of many for centuries. Our quest takes us through the labyrinthine tale of transformation, from the unseen to the seen, a most practical assignment. With a bit of British humor drawing parallels from the captivating world of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. Since time was framed by the light of Gods voice we have been drawn by the elusive Storehouses of Weather - those mythical sanctuaries where the elements are kept under lock and key. Some whisper that these mystical places are guarded by formidable deities and spirits, while others believe them to be natural wonders that elude our understanding. In this episode, we dive deep into a tale that brings legends to the forefront, seeking to illuminate the mysteries sought by the sons of God. So, dear listeners, let us embark on this wondrous odyssey and immerse ourselves in the magic of Mystical Tales. Drawing Heaven: Storehouses of Weather by viaK  Binge Listen

Hello, beautiful souls and brave entrepreneurs! Happy Thanksgiving! Welcome to another episode of the Interviewing Jesus podcast, where we combine spiritual insights with entrepreneurial guidance to help you flourish on your journey. Amen. I’m your host, Kristen Wambach, dedicated to encouraging you to live spiritually bold. Today, we have something special for Thanksgiving. I know many of you are on your way to family gatherings, perhaps wearing an apron as the turkey just comes out of the oven, or maybe you're quickly tidying up before guests arrive. There are countless reasons to celebrate, and I just wanted to take a moment to wish you a happy Thanksgiving. While I'm addressing my American listeners, let's remember that this spirit of gratitude, feasting, and togetherness is not solely an American tradition.
Gratitude, help us to see what is there instead of what isn't.”— Annette Bridges

| Across the globe, there are several days that echo the sentiment of giving thanks, each with its unique cultural twist. Let’s take a journey around the world and explore these celebrations, 1. Canada’s Thanksgiving: Our northern neighbors celebrate Thanksgiving too, and it’s a little earlier, on the second Monday of October. The spirit is the same—gratitude for the harvest and the blessings of the past year. It's a reminder that timing doesn't define our gratitude; the heart does. |  Thank You for your support. |
Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” — William Arthur Ward
2. Chuseok in South Korea: This vibrant festival, often compared to Thanksgiving, occurs in September or October. Families gather to honor ancestors with feasts and traditional games. It’s a beautiful metaphor for the entrepreneurial journey—honoring past lessons while building future success.
3. Erntedankfest in Germany: Celebrated in early October, this harvest thanksgiving festival is marked by church services and processions. While it might not involve a grandiose family meal, it’s a moving reminder of the bounty life offers when we cultivate our passions diligently.

| 4. Mid-Autumn Festival in China and Vietnam: Also known as the Moon Festival, this celebration is about family reunions and giving thanks for the harvest, with mooncakes symbolizing completeness. The Life Application, it’s a reminder to celebrate milestones and the “fullness” of our journey. 5. Pongal in India: Held in January, this festival is a four-day dedication to the sun god for a bountiful harvest. Rice and milk boil over in pots as a symbol of abundance. It’s a vivid illustration of the overflow we can experience when passion and purpose align. | |
Clickable Joy... | 6. Harvest Festival in the UK: Though not a public holiday, many communities across the UK celebrate with church services and food donations. It's a communal thanks for the harvest and a time to share with those less fortunate—a beautiful lesson in giving back. |
7. The Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkot, is the third great annual pilgrimage festival when the Jewish people gather together in Jerusalem not only to remember God's provision in the Wilderness but also to look ahead to that promised Messianic age when all nations will flow to Jerusalem to worship the Lord. This week-long festival in September or October commemorates the gathering of the harvest and the protection God provided during the Israelites’ exodus. Building temporary shelters, or sukkahs, is a tradition, reminding us of the impermanence of life and the need to be adaptable.Each of these celebrations, in their own way, teaches us about gratitude, the importance of community, and the joy of sharing our abundance. Today we cherish the harvest of our efforts, these globally celebrated days invite us to pause and reflect. They remind us that, no matter where we are, the spirit of thanksgiving is universal, urging us to appreciate the journey and the company we keep along the way.
It's a cherished moment spent around the table with loved ones, sharing stories and celebrating the abundance of life. We count our blessings and take a moment for introspection, recognizing how far we have come. With that, I say amen, and without further ado, let’s proceed to today’s episode. I had the rare privilege of sitting down with someone truly remarkable—a person whose life exemplifies love, compassion, and transformative leadership. Who better to embody these virtues than the one and only Jesus? In casual conversations, people often say that we are metaphorically sitting down with Jesus, reflecting on what he might share if he were to join your Thanksgiving gathering.
I haven't expressed enough how much I appreciate 💋you, especially during this holiday season when you're taking the time to listen. I know you have a lot on your plate, and I truly value your dedication to filling your mind with positivity and opportunities for growth. I admire ❤️ that about you and want to give you a virtual high ✋five, encouraging you to keep pushing forward!
Our Prayer of Gratitude & Communion
As we approach the conclusion of today's gathering, I invite you to join me in communion. Shall we take a moment to pray? Feel free to stir the gravy while I lead us in gratitude. Let us come together around this table of abundance, connecting in spirit through this podcast, thankful for one another—our table is full.
We pause to recognize the numerous blessings that fill our lives, both visible and invisible, like the sun that rises without fail each day. Thankfulness serves as a guiding light, illuminating our every moment. We express our gratitude for the food before us, for the hands that prepared it, and for the soil that nurtured its growth.
This communion nourishes not just our bodies but our spirits, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all life. In this moment, we unite, just as these ingredients blend to create something greater. May we come together in purpose and joy, embracing the love that surrounds us through family, friends, and community.

| The best increase of the year... Our grand daugther. MEET THE BLOGGER >>>I love the Holidays, not the extra busy-ness, but love extended outings with family. I'll add a question in the spirit of the holidays on our 70 of the most asked questions by famous Podcasters and interviewers. Last Week | Special impromptu question (not on the list) Kristen how many Christmas trees have you had in your home? Eight!  |  |
This is a picture of three of them. At this time we were leasing a 6000 sq. ft. home here in Corvallis. During the days of starting and running a ministry school and the birth of Heart of the Valley Community Church. On our to do list own a home/venue. We love hospitality and Christmas. Make sure you click over to 25 Days of Christmas and you will see more of this same heart. Also I invite you to one of my Instagram accounts, there are clips of my decorating.
Now to this weeks quest question: What would you talk about the most in a one-hour therapy session? That is a toss up? I've been married for almost 40 years, I'm sure between Don and myself we could use up a little couch time, LOL. But to be honest, influence and friends. On the journey of "changing the world" you don't run across like minded individuals with the same level of passion and commitment. I have some very dear long term friends that I wouldn't trade for the world, but put me in a room full of passionate entrepreneurs, OMG! It's a season of expanding my tent pegs, amen.
As we take the bread, we remember the cross, acknowledging that your sacrifice and resurrection grant us victory over sickness, disease, and emotional stress. We partake in the new covenant, inviting its life-giving energy to fill us with joy, peace, health, and tangible love.
Thank you for this day and the infinite possibilities it holds. Amen.
To quote Jesus, “Each moment you’re given is a gift; cherish it.”
Share love as you would break bread, embracing joy as we conclude our time together.
As you embark on your day or perhaps unwind in the evening with your feet up and a glass of wine, I want to express my gratitude to you, my listeners, for your presence in this community--the Interviewing Jesus podcast. It’s a blessing to have you with us, whether you're tuned in from your car, kitchen, cozy couch, or while in your pajamas. Your participation enriches our tribe, and I appreciate you pulling up your chair to our table.
I am also thankful for the family and friends who gather with us, whether in spirit or in person, and for the provisions that grace our table. Each shared meal is a testament to the abundance of God and the universe, reflecting the love that binds us together.
As we celebrate this day, perhaps Thanksgiving, let us embrace every moment, cherish every laugh, and hold dear every hug.

“Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
— Melody Beattie Lessons from a Butter Dish: perspectives of GratitudeEpisode Highlights
|
Getting ready for your day, the coffee is dripping. You feed the dog, pop a piece of bread into the toaster, grab the honey from the cabinet, place your favorite coffee mug on the counter, and set out a small saucer for your toast and fruit. The flow and multitasking are well-timed and impressive. The toast pops, fragrant and inviting. With the toast knife in hand, you lift the lid of the butter dish, reaching for a perfect, fresh, creamy butter, and somebody has left their food dirt on the butter — gross! How could they be so messy and unsanitary? Now you have to clean off the butter, your toast is getting cold. How selfish and thoughtless! So gross, that just drives me nuts. What is our perspective on the small things, irritating things that insensitive others in the house do when you are in a hurry? To clean it for the next person ready to butter up, on our perspective, we explored the butter stuck on food crumbs from a different perspective and allowed grace and gratitude. A.M. get ready to open your heart, get filled with a dose of his goodness. I know you need this.

How are you doing today? Let me share my morning with you. I was getting ready to record this episode. It had a totally different subject matter. I built the show, made the graphics, and I was struggling to feel the heart, to feel the connection between the Lord and I and you and our conversation today. It's a good word. That is a very good word, but it didn't feel like the word for us today. I'll ask you a question.
What is the word for you today?
What do you need to hear from the Lord today?
Back to my morning. Here I am. I'm in the kitchen. I'm getting ready for the day. The coffee is dripping. I'm feeding – I pop a piece of bread into the toaster, and I grab the honey from the cabinet. I made Don's coffee in his to-go container. I grabbed my favourite coffee mug. It's sitting on the counter, and I set out a small saucer for toast and fruit. My flow and multitasking, it's timed and impressive. I'm getting it down. We're gonna get there, get the podcast done for the day, and the toast pops up, fragrant and inviting. I hurry while the toast is hot. I have my knife in hand and the lid on the butter dish, so I lift it up and reach for that perfect pad of fresh, creamy butter. I am the one who messed up this morning. It was my night. There was a bunch of string in Don's coffee, and when I set it on the saucer, yuck, so I was the guilty party. I smashed the butter. It's totally in our lives, defamed the butter. What is our perspective of the small things, the irritating things, and sensitive of others in the things I have lived with? At the same time, I have seen some insensitivity. Maybe you're the one that when you were in a hurry, did you clean it up for the next person? Are you ready for metaphorical perspectives? And we're gonna have a jolly laugh too. Thank you so much.

I truly appreciate you for actively engaging in podcasts and reading books, as you intentionally pursue personal growth and self-improvement. I've observed that this dedication isn't prevalent everywhere, but you exemplify it.
I celebrate your efforts and encourage you to keep pushing forward—amen to that!

Today, we’re embarking on a journey through Luke 24. You might be familiar with the passage about the road to Emmaus, but let me set the stage for you. Jesus has just been crucified, and Mary has discovered the empty tomb. In this moment, Jesus has his first resurrected conversation with her, and she rushes off to share the news with the disciples.
As we move forward, I want to infuse a lighthearted metaphor involving a butter dish to delve into the heart of today’s message. Remember, He speaks to us today, and I’ve been waiting for His guidance for both you and me. Jesus will breathe life into our discussion, allowing us to appreciate the richness we already possess.
So, grab your cup of coffee, hold onto that steering wheel, or slow your walking pace and take a breath. We’re going to share a meal with the Master today. The butter dish serves as a metaphor—allow the Lord to reveal its significance and apply it to your own life. Let’s think about how we sometimes find ourselves caught up in the remnants of someone else’s mess, much like butter smeared with crumbs.
In Luke 24, we witness two disciples walking just eight miles from Jerusalem, deeply engaged in a profound discussion as they try to make sense of the extraordinary events they’ve just experienced. They’re sifting through the leftover "crumbs" of their memories from a shocking week, seeking clarity amid their confusion. Suddenly, Jesus joins them as an unexpected guest at the table, yet their eyes remain clouded with disbelief, preventing them from recognizing Him.
Imagine if you found the butter smeared with someone else's leftovers; how would you respond if Jesus asked you why you were so troubled? The exchange of words can feel as futile as trying to brush crumbs off butter. Are you listening? Have you ever felt overwhelmed by your daily challenges, only to find yourself unraveling?
One of the disciples questions Jesus, asking, "Are you the only one unaware of what’s happened in Jerusalem?" It’s as if he’s saying, “Haven’t you seen the chaos we’re trying to navigate?” You might be thinking, “Haven’t you noticed the mess I’ve been dealing with?” Are you aware of the struggles at hand?

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and vision for tomorrow. And here's the heart of it: the disciples reclined at the table. Jesus blessed and broke the bread. Their eyes suddenly opened in that simple act. The crumbs of confusion cleared away, and they recognized him. They recognized him. Just as quickly as the crumbs disappeared, so did he from their sight. In our own lives, we often find ourselves lost in the details, missing the larger picture. Thank God for the individuals in our lives, even though they may drive us nuts. The ability to experience life as a gift liberates us from the prison of self-preoccupation. Gratitude is the ability to see life as a gift. Can you imagine sharing butter with anyone, nobody there to sleep behind, a bit of dirt, no messy clothes, the toilet seat never left up? Or are we too controlling to allow lovelies to move into a world we want to control? Relationships are difficult; relationships take great maintenance of self, of me, myself, and I. Open the door of gratitude. Allow God to toast your communion and break bread and laughter. Laugh at life's little messes, but don't keep them out. It is in these moments of breaking bread, of sharing life with other people, reflecting and understanding, that clarity often comes. So next time you find yourself sifting through life's crumbs and cleaning up the butter, remember sometimes the answers are right there waiting to be revealed. Look around you again. Look at the plate before you. Look at it. We have cars and jobs and charity shops filled with good deals, hot showers, family love, family to drive you nuts. We have holidays. We can read and write. We can go for a walk. Look at the season changing around us. We have children and grandchildren. We can go to church. We can vote. We can have an argument with our spouse. We have bank accounts, insurance policies. We can call our mom. We have friends to share a meal with. We can buy and read a book. We can send a card, help a friend. We have the Internet and headphones and can listen to a podcast recorded in Corvallis, Oregon. We can google any question and have 10,000 answers in a heartbeat. We woke up today with breath in our lungs.
Scripture Treasures
Later that same day, two of the disciples were walking to Emmaus about 8 miles from Jerusalem. They were in deep discussion about all the things they had witnessed. In the middle of their debating, groping for answers, Jesus joined them on their journey. Yet their eyes were veiled and they did not recognize him. Why are you so perplexed? You're throwing words at one another, and judging by your gloomy faces it's obviously not helping. One of them, Cleopas, answered him, Are you living in isolation, not knowing what has taken place right here in Jerusalem over the past few days.
Jesus replied, So, what exactly happened? They both answered, The man Jesus of Nazareth was a prophet who was known for his mighty works and words before God and all the people.
Well, the high priests and our rulers betrayed him and sentenced him to death; then crucified him.
We had such high hopes that he was about to redeem Israel. Yet now, it is already the third day since it all happened. In the meantime some of the women in our group astounded us. They were at the tomb very early this morning. His body wasn't there. Then they claimed to have seen a vision of two angels who said that he was alive. Some of our own group then also went to the tomb and found the grave empty, just as the women told us, but they did not see Jesus. He answered them, Why do you fail to understand and find it so difficult to believe the entire context of the prophetic conversation. Was their theme not always pointing to the inevitable sufferings of the Christ and the subsequent glory? He then took them on a journey through Scripture, beginning with Moses and throughout the prophets he pointed to himself, mirrored in their word. They were now getting close to the village they were heading for, but he appeared to be going further. But they would have nothing of it; they told him as forcefully as politely possible to spend the night at their dwelling. It was already evening and a late hour. He obliged and entered the village with them. This is how it happened, As soon as they reclined at the table, he took the bread, blessed it, broke it and was giving it to them. And immediately their eyes were opened and they knew exactly who he was. Then he vanished from their view. Luke 24 Mirror

But they would have nothing of it; they told him as forcefully as politely possible to spend the night at their dwelling. It was already evening and a late hour. He obliged and entered the village with them. This is how it happened, As soon as they reclined at the table, he took the bread, blessed it, broke it and was giving it to them. And immediately their eyes were opened and they knew exactly who he was. Then he vanished from their view. Luke 24 Mirror
The power of finding beauty in the humblest things makes home happy and life lovely. —Louisa May Alcott
Praise God we have relationships.
We have a choice who we spend time with.
Choose wisely, and celebrate the messiness of love.
Celebrate that butter on the butter dish. Louisa Alcott says it so captivatingly:
The power of finding beauty in the humblest of things makes home happy and life lovely.
One of my favorite things as we enter into the holiday season is the bell ringer at the Salvation Army giving stand. You know that they're dressed up as Santa, I love that it's the spirit of celebration, festivities, the joy and the gratitude of sharing and creating moments with our families and our friends. I'll tell you a quick story as we're about ready to finish up. I really do love those little Salvation Army. I wanted to do that one time, and I did. So I signed up for the job, and I had my bell ringing station, and what did I do? I sang Christmas carols over and over and over and over again. It was wonderful, one of the best Christmas memories I have to share. And people came up to me and asked me, "Kristen, would you sing this carol?" or "Do you know this carol?" and I sang them and they sang with me. And they'd be holding their children, and they'd breathe and let the worries of the day just go away. It was so much fun. I trust this blessed you and your perspective. And what is so amazing, just because I kind of mushed the butter in the butter dish this morning, the simplest things, the simplest way that the Lord opens our hearts, so that we can see how full our lives are, how much he has infused us with love and how close it is. So give your mama, give somebody a hug today. Thank the Lord for goodness and graciousness and share the gratitude and perspectives that he showed you.

Hey there beloved traveler on this spiritual, entrepreneurial, life journey! Today, changing up the normal and mundane into a concept that might just change the way you navigate the road ahead: inviting Jesus into the driver's seat. We have all heard the song Jesus take the wheel... but let's look at it from a different perspective.
Jesus show me HOW to focus on the road ahead?
Hear those priorities from His lips.
Jesus How would You drive to this destination?
Maybe your destination is difficult, relational challenges, and medical concerns.
Jesus what is the attitude I need once I arrive?
Show me, knowing You know me and my driving habits, I am open for suggestions, I am open for change, Are we really open for suggestions and change?
Show me another way, Jesus how would you walk through my day, my dreams and desires.
Show me that I am a really good driver. We need to hear His affirmations.

Show me that I am a really good driver. We need to hear His affirmations.
We'll talk practical steps, real-life stories, and how to blend your faith with your daily schedule. So buckle up! It's time to let go of the wheel a bit and see what happens when you let Jesus show you the way.
I’m thrilled that you are here! I love the atmosphere we’ve created where we can relax and enjoy ourselves. Today is all about having a great time together. We’re going to lighten the mood and embrace a more focused mindset. Jesus is taking the wheel, guiding us to a fresh perspective. As we explore Colossians 3:1 in the Mirror Translation, think about seeing yourself with Christ. Reflect on this persuasion—what does it mean for you? It influences your conclusions in Him. You both have have your hands on the steering wheel, working in perfect harmony. Let’s shift our mindset and engage with the realities of the throne room, where you are united with Him at God’s right hand. I hear you, Kristen—what exactly is meant by throne room reality? We’ll dive into that shortly!
I am so glad you are doing something for you, you're reading books listening to podcast. You are improving your self and what you're putting , your ears that is so awesome. Well done !
Practical Ways to Read the Road Map, We all know this! But do we all do this?
- Resist the allure of your inbox. Hello no texting while your driving. Give the priorities of your life priority. Don't pick up your phone, don't check your email, don't scroll your media feed. According to the latest available data, people spend an average of 2 hours and 24 minutes on social media every day. That's 10 minutes less per day than the average global user. What would you do with with an extra 2 hours and 24 minutes each day?
- Be prepared for the journey at hand, Rest, healthy food, which translates as your fuel, and movement/exercise.
- Embrace the power of silence. If Jesus didn't go to the mountain to pray that day, He would have never known He was about to calm a storm or walk on water. He wouldn't have seen Nathaniel sitting by the tree. He spent time with His Father.
- Let your phone be an ally in your quest for focus. Use your phone to Carve out a sacred time each day when you engage the Do Not Disturb function. This simple habit not only reduces distractions but also transforms your relationship with time. It's particularly beneficial at night - good sleep is the foundation of a productive morning.
- Unveil the magic of single-mindedness.
- Every task you undertake deserves your undivided attention. There's a unique kind of wealth in momentum, in the blissful flow state. But it's an illusion to think you can focus on one task while juggling nine others. Approach your days with a realistic and mindful to-do list.
- Gift yourself the luxury of an extra hour. Do you need to get up earlier? Or do you need to go to bed at a decent hour?

INTERVIEWING JESUS
7 Keys to Live in the Moment |
|
INTERVIEWING JESUS
Re-think, Gods Timing, Gods Will, Delay? Gods Promises, Tomorrow? TRUTH |
|
INTERVIEWING JESUS
SIMPLICITY the Art of Living |
You belong to Him completely. It's akin to changing outfits; we shed our old garments and adorn ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Let me ask you again: do you keep these qualities to yourself? We often know we should get enough sleep, exercise, and eat well, but do you truly give yourself the care you deserve? Are you gentle and patient with yourself? Don't pray for patience, my grandma advised me. She said, "Kristen, never pray for patience; life has enough lessons as it is." Since then, I’ve refrained from praying for patience, as it’s something you cultivate within yourself through compassion and kindness.
Consider the impact of those around you. What if your coworker neglects to ask how your day is going? It’s crucial to fill yourself with kindness and compassion during such moments. Remember the feeling of gripping the steering wheel, a reminder of connection with others as well as yourself. Maintain a positive outlook and uphold high expectations for yourself. Reflect on the importance of restoring fellowship with those around you. The Lord’s forgiveness has transformed our lives; think of the family and friends who may lack experience in these matters.
Is there someone in your life—perhaps a child, spouse, or coworker—whom you need to restore favor with? Love should be worn like a uniform, completing our shared journey with Jesus. Imagine the four hands on the wheel guiding us. Some people may need a second chance, and Jesus certainly did that for me.
Quickly restore those relationships. Let love be your uniform. Think practically: set a timer on your phone for when to go to bed or wake up. It’s so much easier to navigate life when you can visualize His hands on the wheel, guiding you every day. On those days when you feel you’ve done well, remember to affirm yourself. You might have had the chance to react negatively, but you held back, and that deserves recognition. It’s much easier to stay focused on our path when we can see His hands helping us along the way. What a joy that is!

LOL Back to our Quest of answering ALL 70 most asked questions by podcasters and famous interviewers. We still have a way to go...but the answers will surprise you, Read last weeks... Now onto some question-thought. What's something you want to do less of next year? Waste Time! The most valuable commodity God has given us. With just a little tweak, a smidge of focus and a morsel of clarity we can change our entire day to be focused on the things in life that truly matter. Surround ourself with the joys that choice gifts us with. Love, family, friends and the thrill of changing the world. | |
I enjoy discussing practical matters, joking about ourselves while also taking a serious look at the daily choices we make. Are those choices truly serving you? Consider the metaphor of driving down the road: do you allow Jesus to guide you on your journey? Maybe it’s just about taking a leisurely drive and embracing affirmations and love. Let’s remind ourselves of what it means to dwell in a throne room reality and reflect on His original intentions for us. Picture yourself seated beside Him; that’s worth practicing and meditating on, asking Him for guidance. Amen. I truly love you and bless you immensely. It’s beautiful to envision this blessing radiating around the globe, touching you, your neighbors, your family, and those you love. We uplift each other, amen. Now, let me remind you of some practical tips again. Keep track of your screen time; this is essential for maintaining focus and setting priorities in our lives. If you need more time, simply turn your phone to do not disturb. I love you dearly, and I look forward to talking with you next week.

Unleashing Your Hidden Strength Part 1
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.”– Brian Dyson, former Vice Chairman and COO of Coca-Cola
with a clause, ⬆︎ we will never be the same through Christs transformation in our life,
All things and restored, we are aiming on the balance in our life. amen.

Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health, because if we’re scurrying to and from appointments and errands, we don’t have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‘to do’ list.”

How important is Self Care? Self-care is a necessity.
Self-care can be any activity that strengthens you physically, emotionally, mentally, intellectually, or spiritually. The concept of taking control of your needs and making yourself a priority might be viewed as selfish,
but it is not. It leads to, Rejuvenation, Improved relationships, Reduced risk of illness, Better parenting,
Increased self-esteem.
For example, when faced with large crowds, Jesus would withdraw to lonely places to pray.
Self-care is easily found in scripture and when done well and in the context of loving others as we love ourselves.

 | Thoughts, Desires, and Outcomes... You might ask, Kristen what three did you choose? Why and what kind of Self Care actions did you create to support your "highlights." Actually, I want to hear from you? (invited to comment below) I noticed something; the scriptures that attracted me said a lot about how I feel about myself in this season. The blessing is when those internal feelings are confirmed through your kids. Our "Why" we do what we do everyday, requires tapping into that "Clarity" we daily keep on the front burner for ourselves. |
| A wonderful way to see yourself as this mystical, metaphorical "SuperWomen." Ok, we may be using the word "super woman," but let's remember; it is not about doing more. More Make Opportunities Reflect Essence |  |
What God has in us, is gift wrapped to the world: some are commissioned to pioneer, others are gifted prophetically, some as announcers of good news, some as shepherds with a real gift to care and nurture, and others have a gift to ignite instruction through revelation knowledge.

When to say No and how to say Yes! Part 3
The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.”
– Stephen Covey, Author
| Episode Highlights
| Ever find yourself screaming inside, "I can't keep pleasing everyone!"? I hear you. It's that feeling of being stretched too thin, right? You're not alone in that struggle. "How do I stop saying yes to everything?" you might ask. It's like standing at the brink of a stormy sea, ready to draw a line in the sand, but worried that the waves might crash down and sweep everything away. But here's the catch - setting boundaries isn't always about saying no. It's not a fortress you build to keep others out. It's more like a garden you grow - one that nourishes you and brings joy to others. It’s about nurturing your own well-being first, so you can be there for others. |
It's like they say on airplanes, "Put your own oxygen mask on first". Only then can you truly help others. In our series Mastering the Dance: we have focused on your hidden strength, nurturing self and now its time to clarify your priorities which will easily set boundaries that you're looking for, not a quick fix, but it’s a beautiful journey of self-discovery and growth. So, are you ready to start tending to your garden?

Mount Tabor: Piano Playing Angel Michael
May 20, 1920
In May, 1920, John G. Lake moved to Portland, Oregon to start and oversee another Apostolic Church. During this time he had the following vision:
He could not sleep so he walked in the shadows of the tall trees in Mount Tabor Park.
“Through the park is a footpath coming down through the trees that leads out to the street where we live, and in my vision I was seemingly out in the street, at the foot of this footpath, and as I looked up in the park I was attracted by a quite brilliant light far up in the park. It was very slowly coming down the pathway to the street. I stood somewhat surprised, supposing it was some night man on some duty in the park, probably searching for something or somebody. As it approached I discovered that, instead, it was an angel presence, and the brilliance was an illumination surrounding him. He stood a few feet from me, and said to me, "I have come to answer your prayers. Come with me.” Credit: Portland Vision the birth of Healing Rooms.

All right, gather around for some incredible stories! The first one I want to share is what I like to call the "face movement." I was attending a fantastic church in Portland with 6,000 members when a wonderful missionary invited me to a conference focused on the teachings of John G. Lake regarding divine healing. They were sharing his teachings in a conference setting to instruct people on how to lay hands on the sick. This event took place at Warner Pacific University, nestled at the foot of Mount Tabor, which is notable for John G. Lake's encounter with a magnificent angel at its summit.
I was part of the worship team, but things weren't quite coming together as planned. By the third day, my dear friend, the conference producer, approached me with a dilemma: the scheduled worship team for the next day couldn't make it. Would I step in? I agreed, but once alone, I turned to God and said, "I need your help." I rushed home to gather my music and notes, then returned to Portland the next day.
At Warner Pacific, there's a beautiful chapel, and I asked God to clear it out so I could focus and prepare before leading worship that evening. When I arrived, I discovered a young man in his late twenties playing the piano beautifully. He was incredibly talented! I stepped out of the sanctuary, thinking, "God, I need to get in there; can you move this guy along?" After waiting about 15 minutes, I peeked back in, but he was still there.
Realizing I knew every song he was playing, I started singing along, gradually moving closer and singing louder. After two or three songs together, I felt the Holy Spirit prompt me to ask him to join me for worship. I hesitated, thinking, "God, you want me to assess this person's holiness in moments and invite them to join the team? Are you serious?" Yet, I gathered my courage, asked his name, and discovered he was genuine and eager to help, filling in my own weaknesses in piano playing. His strength enhanced the worship experience, making it truly special.
That evening, Michael played beautifully, alongside the conference speakers' two daughters who joined the worship team. The atmosphere was uplifting; I could feel people connecting with the Lord's presence, and I felt incredibly supported.
However, after that conference set, I searched for Michael to thank him, but he was nowhere to be found. On the final night, during the last worship set, I scanned the audience and spotted him in the back row, smiling at me. Then, he vanished! Thank you, Jesus, for sending an angel to help and support me; it was simply wonderful.
I was part of the worship team, but things weren't quite coming together as planned. By the third day, my dear friend, the conference producer, approached me with a dilemma: the scheduled worship team for the next day couldn't make it. Would I step in? I agreed, but once alone, I turned to God and said, "I need your help." I rushed home to gather my music and notes, then returned to Portland the next day.
At Warner Pacific, there's a beautiful chapel, and I asked God to clear it out so I could focus and prepare before leading worship that evening. When I arrived, I discovered a young man in his late twenties playing the piano beautifully. He was incredibly talented! I stepped out of the sanctuary, thinking, "God, I need to get in there; can you move this guy along?" After waiting about 15 minutes, I peeked back in, but he was still there.
Realizing I knew every song he was playing, I started singing along, gradually moving closer and singing louder. After two or three songs together, I felt the Holy Spirit prompt me to ask him to join me for worship. I hesitated, thinking, "God, you want me to assess this person's holiness in moments and invite them to join the team? Are you serious?" Yet, I gathered my courage, asked his name, and discovered he was genuine and eager to help, filling in my own weaknesses in piano playing. His strength enhanced the worship experience, making it truly special.

I was invited to attend a women's conference at Bethel, my first experience there, alongside a large group of spirited women filled with the Holy Ghost. I had the honor of hearing Benny Johnson speak for the first time, where she shared the "wakey wakey" story. In brief, a student from one of the supernatural schools, hailing from Wales, was called by the Lord to visit Mariah Chapel. She recounted her experience to Benny, who then shared it with us. Upon arriving at the chapel, where others were present, the Holy Spirit instructed her to shout, "wakey wakey."

Our group of women, most of them asleep from exhaustion after a long night. But I was filled with excitement. I had just arrived home to our large Victorian house, built in 1872 Corvallis, which was once a 300-acre dairy farm. This has been my favorite home so far, featuring a widow's walk at the top where one could access the roof. Feeling energized, I thought I needed to do something adventurous. However, I hesitated to climb onto the roof because of my quirky neighbor, who might call the police on me.
I pondered my options and then realized that we lived only five or six blocks from the high school and the football field. Perfect! I quickly greeted my family, dropped my bags, and announced I had an errand to run. My son Jacob, a musician, looked up and asked, "Mom, where are you going?" I replied, "Just for a quick walk." He pointed out it was past 10 PM and insisted, "Let me grab my skateboard. I’m coming with you!"
We made our way to the football field, and to our delight, the chain-link fence was open. The community frequently used the running track, so I stepped inside. It was dark, so I turned off my flashlight and headed toward the 50-yard line, scanning the area for anyone else. I spotted a guy in the corner stretching—he appeared to be a runner.
I walked directly to the center of the field, while Jacob practiced some skateboard tricks nearby. It was quiet; Corvallis was asleep, with only a few lights on in the neighborhood. Taking a deep breath, I shouted "Wakey wakey wakey!" as loud as I could three times. I paused, waiting amidst the background snoring. After a minute and a half, I felt a tingle at the back of my neck.
Suddenly, I envisioned a tall figure by the football stands—a samurai-like guardian in armor, with his hand on his sheathed sword. He stepped into my view, and I couldn't help but ask for his name. To my surprise, he responded with a name that reflected the very essence of his armor! Caisson. Then, just like that, he vanished.
I was ecstatic! I loved the experience and felt a deep connection to it. "Thank God he didn’t have his sword drawn" I thought, as he looked at me with curiosity. My heart soared as I realized I had encountered these magnificent guardian angels in Corvallis, Oregon.

  | Welcome, welcome to the show, dear friend! Here we are, another week has passed. I'm always astonished by how much can change from one week to the next. With the Lord guiding my words, I'm excited about what we have to explore and learn together—amen! I truly need your support, your prayers, and a bit of patience as I try a new approach to enhance my impromptu speaking skills. This means I'm not fully scripting the episode; instead, I'm speaking more spontaneously, as if we were sitting across from each other, enjoying a lovely glass of Bordeaux. My goal is to develop my life skills and become a better communicator with you. God, help us to delve into the nuggets of wisdom and strength you have provided us right here and now in our listening. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for being present in our hearts, thoughts, cars as we drive to work, offices, and during our walks. We give you praise in Jesus' name, and your support truly helps us. Each of us experiences seasons of change, some of which can be quite challenging. You may be navigating through a time of constraints that has completely transformed your life. Other seasons may propel us forward, yet it's our faith that opens the door, allowing us to move into and through these phases. In doing so, we find ourselves stepping into the answers we've been praying for. I feel truly honored that you’re taking the time to listen. It's a privilege to share this conversation with you, and I am amazed by your commitment to seek encouragement through this podcast. You're doing something meaningful, and I commend you for listening to content that can uplift you and lead you deeper into the abundance that Jesus always offers. Well done! |

| Let me share a story from the past week. My son and daughter-in-law asked if I could look after my granddaughter one to two days each week. It's such an honor, and their generosity truly touched me. However, it made me reflect on my busy schedule and how I would manage this. Remembering my days as a young parent, I recall having four sons, and much of that time feels like a blur. I wonder what I can bring into their home, knowing that the experiences will be a two-way exchange between my granddaughter and me. With a full day ahead, I find myself seeking guidance on how to get organized and create more time this morning. |  |
A close friend of mine recently texted me, mentioning that her neck had been stiff for about four days and that she felt it was necessary to see a doctor. As I read her text-message, I reflected on our gathering last Monday, where we shared various aspects of our lives, including changes, challenges, family matters, children, and marriage. Hearing her story made me connect the dots between her neck stiffness and the transformations happening within her family. I want to pose a question for you to consider during this season of change: What is your body trying to communicate? Are you paying attention? Are you truly listening to your body?
I invite you to focus on the graphic as we attune ourselves to our bodies and listen to the Holy Spirit communicating with us. The visual I prepared represents what Jesus is stirring in my heart regarding the word "change," which is intricately hidden within it. I will do my best to describe it for those of you who may be driving. The word "change" is depicted using mirrored graphics, allowing for images to be placed within each letter. The letters in "CHANGE" showcase different characteristics based on the portraits I inserted. One of these portraits features a woman sitting on a staircase leading to heaven. This scene resonates with me, as I’ve had a cherished experience on a staircase I refer to as the DNA of God. I found myself perched on one of the steps, which jutted out slightly, making it feel as if I was hanging onto the railing. This spot has become a special place for meditation. In this moment, I dangle my feet, feeling as if God’s gaze is intimately focused on me, much like a little girl swinging her feet at the edge of a dock. I can see the whites of His eyes as I express my need for His presence and encouragement, as His love often brings comfort. On this staircase, I often envision a beautiful purse, adorned with pearls and diamonds, resembling an evening handbag. Over time, the Lord has filled this purse with treasures just for me. It’s a stunning scene to imagine yourself sitting on a step of God’s DNA in heaven. I've captured these moments in pictures, which I hope to share with you in the show notes, as they are truly breathtaking.
In addition to the letters that spell "CHANGE," there is a square image resembling a diamond, featuring an Asian woman carrying an enormous load wrapped in mesh. The weight is so substantial that her head is obscured, symbolizing the burdens of her work and harvest as she walks down the road. I can feel this change resting heavily on our shoulders, and I resonate with the overwhelming sensation it brings.
This image of strength and resilience reminds me that while God has equipped us to carry significant loads, we must ask ourselves if we are shouldering too much. Are we carrying excess weight? It’s essential to check in with our bodies: Are there areas of discomfort or tension? Holy Spirit, what does this signify? Are you sensing issues in your feet, knees, shoulders, neck, or head? Let’s listen closely.
As we navigate this season of change, we share our stories and find common ground among friends and family. We all aspire to improve and grow, and this is the message Jesus has shared with me.

Scripture Treasury
John 12 Mary Anoints Jesus
1Six days before the Passover began, Jesus went back to Bethany, the town where he raised Lazarus from the dead. 2They had prepared a supper for Jesus. Martha served, and Lazarus and Mary were among those at the table. 3Mary picked up an alabaster jar filled with nearly a liter of extremely rare and costly perfume—the purest extract of nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet. Then she wiped them dry with her long hair. And the fragrance of the costly oil filled the house.
4But Judas the locksmith, Simon’s son, the betrayer, spoke up and said, 5“What a waste! We could have sold this perfume for a fortune and given the money to the poor!”
6(In fact, Judas had no heart for the poor. He only said this because he was a thief and in charge of the money case. He would steal money whenever he wanted from the funds given to support Jesus’ ministry.)
7Jesus said to Judas, “Leave her alone! She has saved it for the time of my burial. 8You’ll always have the poor with you; but you won’t always have me.” Passion Translation

Jesus Anointed at Bethany
(Mark 14:3–9; Luke 7:36–50; John 12:1–8)6While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,a 7a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.8When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste? 9This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”10Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me. 11The poor you will always have with you,b but you will not always have Me. 12By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial. 13Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.” Berean Translation

The Mary mentioned in John 12 is Mary of Bethany, the sister of Martha and Lazarus:
- Anointing of Jesus
- In John 12:1–8, Mary of Bethany pours costly perfume on Jesus' feet and wipes them with her hair, an event known as the anointing of Jesus.
- Identification
- John 11:1–2 confirms that Mary is the sister of Martha and Lazarus.
- Other Appearances
- Mary of Bethany is also found in the New Testament when she guides the Jerusalem Jews to Jesus and sits at his feet to absorb his teachings.
- Name
- The name "Mary" translates to "one who cries bitter tears," reflecting her parents' despair as they envisioned her future in a society where the poor often had to surrender their daughters to Roman soldiers.
You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy.”
—C. JoyBell C.
Are you ready? Are you ready? Holy Spirit, help me convey this message. I was brought to the book of John. Let’s talk about Mary of Bethany and the precious perfume in the alabaster box. She opened it and anointed Jesus's feet, then wiped them with her hair. Let me share the passage from John in the Passion Translation:
Looking at the different gospels, each presents a unique perspective. Jesus was aware of everything happening around Him and asked, 'Why are you troubling this woman? She has performed a beautiful act for me. The poor you will always have, but you will not always have me. By pouring this perfume on me, she has prepared my body for burial. Truly, I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be remembered in her honor.'
When I read this passage this morning, it struck me deeply and I felt the anointing wash over me. Mary prepared Jesus for His death, burial, and resurrection. Can you feel that? You and I are included in this story. I sensed the anointing oil and understood what Mary knew in her heart. She was preparing herself and all of us for future restoration and resurrection.
In this season of change, remember that in just one week, Jesus will carry the cross, endure mockery and pain, and then declare, 'It is finished.' He will breathe His last and spend three mystical days in the tomb, reclaiming the keys of the kingdom. Then God will raise Him, and He will pass those keys to us.
Mary’s act of anointing Jesus was an expression of worship, a sacrificial offering that filled the room with fragrance. Wherever you feel overwhelmed or find yourself in difficult circumstances, remember that we are wrapped in the preparation of Jesus and His offering. Where the gospel is preached, she will be remembered, and we step into that remembrance. Mary’s offering is where change meets us, inviting us into her legacy.

Visualize her pouring that luxurious perfume onto your feet, preparing you to remember that this, too, shall pass. The spirit that resurrected Jesus Christ is alive within you, and we can allow our spirit, bodies, and souls to embrace this truth. Just like the woman depicted in my graphic, take a moment to set down that heavy burden and have an honest conversation with Jesus. Ask Him what you should carry, what you should let go of, and how you can become your best self. I know you are strong, resilient, and capable, but it’s essential to reflect on whether you need to bear this weight alone. Perhaps He can carry it for you.

Our ocean of grace wraps around each of us, regardless of our past performance or perceived shortcomings.
Just like the ocean has no favorites, and holds the largest and smallest of living beings, this grace extends equally to all, offering us a sanctuary where we find divine comfort, assurance and our original and likable self. I can't wait to share it with you.
Does your ego, the left brain of life, keep you under fire at the Alter of Burnt offerings or doing another load of "SELF" laundry at the Laver, do you struggle with thoughts circling in your head
constantly reminding you of imperfections, what needs change, improve?
Embracing Divine Comfort: Finding Your Sanctuary in God's Love."
a Sanctuary,
what does that feel like? Kristen can you book me a room!
How would I encounter God's love in a way that I look and like me? I'm comfortable as me?
Today, we're diving into some profound insights from Ephesians 4,
and exploring how simple divine truths can transform our journey and everyday life.

and how would one describe the way Your Sanctuary makes you feel...
I do believe I found a famous text written by Pablo Neruda from 100 Love Sonnets, that brilliantly illustrates it.
“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because
I do not know any other way of loving but this,
in which there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep
your eyes close.”

My Comfort
Lord, never forget the promises you’ve made to me, for they are my hope and confidence. In all of my affliction I find great comfort in your promises, for they have kept me alive! No matter how bitterly the proud mockers speak against me, I refuse to budge from your precepts. Your revelation-light is eternal; I’m encouraged every time I think about your truth! Whenever I see the wicked breaking your laws, I feel horrible. As I journey through life, I put all your statutes to music; they become the theme of my joyous songs. Throughout the night I think of you, dear God; I treasure your every word to me. All this joy is mine as I follow your ways! Psalms 119: 49-56 Passion Imagine embarking on a journey that's both sacred and enlightening. That's exactly what Psalms 119 offers—a spiritual roadmap intertwined with the Hebrew alphabet. Picture each Hebrew letter not just as a letter, but as a guidepost illuminating the path of life with divine wisdom.
|
Zayin: in communion, the living letter Zayin responded "as" the Lord. I offered up "self protective mechanisms" (BEHAVIORS) and they were consumed in the "Letter" as Him!
We experience our "Crown" many different ways, on our journey of knowing our redeemed original self, you truest identity, likes, colors and themes bring a "Comfort" from there familiarity "Like You."
|
This Psalm, the longest in the Book of Psalms, is like a symphony composed of 22 stanzas, each corresponding to a letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It’s as if each letter is a mentor whispering secrets of the heart and spirit. Aleph, for instance, invites us to begin with integrity, a foundation that holds us steady through life's storms. Beth follows, encouraging us to find a sacred space within our souls—a spiritual home where peace resides.
Throughout this journey, we encounter letters like Gimel and Daleth, each with its own lesson, like old friends sharing invaluable insights. Gimel might remind you of the importance of generosity, nurturing the soul through acts of kindness. Daleth, on the other hand, speaks to moments of humility, those times when we feel low and need to seek strength from a higher source.
Let's not forget He, a letter that breathes life into our dreams, urging us to walk in faith and trust the process. It's like planting seeds in a garden; you nurture them with care, trusting that in time, they’ll flourish.
Each stanza of Psalm 119 is not just poetry but a call to action. It’s a reminder that spiritual principles are not abstract concepts; they're practical tools. Like a seasoned entrepreneur using a business plan, these verses encourage us to apply these principles daily. Reflect on them, meditate on their meaning, and let them guide your decisions.
In this transformative journey through Psalms 119, you're not alone. These letters walk with you, offering encouragement and wisdom as you navigate your own path. So, embrace the written and ask God to take you on a journey to experience the “Living, Light Letters.” They will inspire your actions, as your life aligns with a higher purpose.

A self-protective mechanism is a behavior or coping tool that people use to protect themselves when they feel unsafe, out of control, or vulnerable. These mechanisms can become automatic and can cause people to sabotage their relationships.
Some examples of self-protective mechanisms include:
Self-protective mechanisms can be activated when someone experiences a threat to their positive self-views, such as being criticized, performing poorly on an exam, or social rejection.
Some examples of self-protective mechanisms include:
- Withdrawal: Avoiding confrontation by pulling away from others
- Manipulation: Using others for one's own advantage
- Projection: Accusing someone else of thoughts and behaviors that are desired to be hidden
- Procrastination: Delaying tasks to avoid negative evaluations from others
- Pretending to be laid back: A way to avoid taking responsibility for one's actions
- Deferring to others: Putting others' needs before one's own
- Using sarcasm: A way to keep people at a distance
Self-protective mechanisms can be activated when someone experiences a threat to their positive self-views, such as being criticized, performing poorly on an exam, or social rejection.
Highlighted Scripture from Ephesians 4 Mirror
4:7 The gift of Christ measures the extravagant dimensions of grace; where everyone is equally advantaged. (One measure, one worth. Our individual value is defined by his gift; not by our performance.)
4:8 Scripture confirms that he arrested every possible threat that held mankind hostage. ["he took captivity captive"] And in his resurrection, he led us as trophies in his triumphant procession on high. Consider the genius of God, in the incarnate Christ, he repossessed what belonged to us by design, in human form; this is his grace-gift to us.
4:11 What God has in us, is gift wrapped to the world: some are commissioned to pioneer, others are gifted prophetically, some as announcers of good news, some as shepherds with a real gift to care and nurture, and others have a gift to ignite instruction through revelation knowledge.
(Couriers, communicators, counsellors and coaches. — Rob Lacey.)
4:23 Thus you are habitually renewed in your innermost mind. This will cause you to be completely re-programmed in the way you think about yourself. (Ponder the truth about you, as it is displayed in Christ; begin with the fact of your co-seatedness. You can never be more co-raised and co-elevated than what you already are. You can only "grow" in your awareness of your redeemed oneness.

a little Left brain Right brain discussion
Let's talk about an interesting concept: the battle between the left and right brain.
If you've ever been called a left-brain thinker, you've been complimented on your exceptional prowess in math and logic. This is your comfort zone. But what about those dubbed right-brain thinkers?
They usually find their strength in the beautiful chaos of creativity.
Let's explore the traits that define these two types of thinkers.
Those who are driven by their left brain have an affinity for language, they're logical, critical thinkers and have a knack for numbers and reasoning. They're the ones you'd want on your trivia team! The world sees them as analytical, logical, and organized. These are the folks who excel in careers that require linear thinking, maths, and verbal information. Think accountants, scientists, or computer programmers.
On the flip side, we have the right-brained individuals. These are the people who can recognize faces in a crowd, express their emotions in a heartbeat, compose a symphony, and appreciate the nuances of every shade of color in a sunset. They have a vivid imagination, an intuitive sense, and a creative streak that sets them apart.
In essence, right-brained people are often seen as emotional, intuitive, and creative. They thrive in careers that encourage creative expression and free-thinking, like artists, psychologists, or writers.
So, are you a left-brain logical wizard or a right-brain creative genius? Or perhaps, like many of us, you're a beautiful blend of the two, bringing together the best of both worlds. Whichever one you are, remember to embrace your unique abilities and use them to better your life and the lives of those around you.

Here are some effective methods I use to affirm myself:
We all encounter conflicts with those around us, especially with our spouses. Misunderstandings can hurt our feelings. Now, let's revisit some practical ways I affirm myself:
The Evernote app features an audio recorder, which I love. As an Evernote enthusiast, I've collected many excellent planners and templates through years of entrepreneurial experiences that help me maintain my sanity. Feel free to explore them in my store.
Additionally, your phone has a mic button in the text messaging app; you can record a message for yourself and save it!
This approach helps me avoid irritation because it is grounded in faith and hope.
Spiritual practices should be practical and easily implemented in your life. Amen.
- I create an audio recording of my affirmations, ensuring that it's always accessible whenever I need it.

- Each time I experience an "aha" moment, I create a phone wallpaper. I've designed seven wallpapers ⬇︎ to kickstart your creativity and provided a link for you to make your own. Check the Show Notes.
- Something that drives me crazy:
- Instead of using negative phrases like "no," "don't do that," or "be quiet," I set an intention. For example, with my dog Dash, who has a chronic skin condition, instead of saying "no" repeatedly or using her name negatively, I say: "Wind and Fire, cease! Dash's redeeming DNA, arise!"
This approach helps me avoid irritation because it is grounded in faith and hope.
Spiritual practices should be practical and easily implemented in your life. Amen.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" —Declaration of Independence Episode Highlights

When I first started my own entrepreneurial journey, I felt like a lone sailor navigating uncharted waters. There were moments of doubt, but the compass guiding me was the belief in something greater than myself—a conviction that my efforts, no matter how small, were part of a larger, divine plan.
In the quiet moments, ask yourself:How can I serve?
How can I contribute to the greater good while fulfilling my own dreams?

- America – it is a fabulous country, the only fabulous country; it is the only place where miracles not only happen, but where they happen all the time." —Thomas Wolfe
John Locke (1632-1704) was a major English philosopher, whose political writings in particular helped pave the way for the French and American revolutions. He coined the phrase ‘pursuit of happiness,’ in his book An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, and thus this website is deeply indebted to him. Thomas Jefferson took the phrase “pursuit of happiness” from Locke and incorporated it into his famous statement of a peoples’ inalienable right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” in the Declaration of Independence.
What most people don’t know, however, is that Locke’s concept of happiness was majorly influenced by the Greek philosophers, Aristotle and Epicurus in particular. Far from simply equating “happiness” with “pleasure,” “property,” or the satisfaction of desire, Locke distinguishes between “imaginary” happiness and “true happiness.” Thus, in the passage where he coins the phrase “pursuit of happiness,” Locke writes:
“The necessity of pursuing happiness [is] the foundation of liberty. As therefore the highest perfection of intellectual nature lies in a careful and constant pursuit of true and solid happiness; so the care of ourselves, that we mistake not imaginary for real happiness, is the necessary foundation of our liberty. The stronger ties we have to an unalterable pursuit of happiness in general, which is our greatest good, and which, as such, our desires always follow, the more are we free from any necessary determination of our will to any particular action…” (1894, p. 348) Credit the Pursuit of Happiness.org Read the entire Article

Your redeemed identity defines your freedom, my friends. But freedom does not mean that you are now free to again employ the law. On the contrary, your freedom finds its most complete expression in a love that serves one another. As free as you are to the law, so enslaved you are now to love. (You are at last free to live the life of your original design.)

I have a dream, by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day down in Alabama with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right down in Alabama little Black boys and Black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

GALATIANS Chapter 4
4:1 Infant heirs have no more say than a slave, even though they own everything. (The best deal the law could possibly broker confirmed mankind’s slavery to sin.)
4:2 He would remain under domestic supervision and house rules until the date fixed by his father for his official graduation to the status of sonship.
4:3 This is exactly how it was with us; we were kidnapped as if in infancy and confined to that state through the law. (An inferior mindset as a result of Adam’s fall.)
4:4 But then the day dawned; the most complete culmination of time. (Everything predicted was concluded in Christ.) The Son arrived, commissioned by the Father; his legal passport to the planet was his mother’s womb. In a human body exactly like ours he lived his life subject to the same scrutiny of the law.
4:5 His mandate was to rescue the human race from the regime of the law of performance and announce the revelation of their true sonship in God. (Now our true state of sonship is again realized. [Jn 1:12; see Jn 1:11-14] “It was not as though he arrived on a foreign planet, he came to his own, yet his own did not recognize him. [Ps 24:1] But to everyone who realizes their association in him, convinced that he is their original life, in them he confirms that we are his offspring. These are they who discover their genesis in God beyond their natural conception. Man began in God. We are not the invention of our parents. Suddenly the invisible eternal Word takes on visible form. The Incarnation. In him, in us. The most accurate tangible display of God’s eternal thought finds expression in human life. The Word became a human being; we are his address; he resides in us. He captivates our gaze. The glory we see there is not a religious replica; he is the authentic monogenes begotten only of God. In him we recognize our true beginning. The Glory that Adam lost, returns. In fullness. Only Grace can communicate truth in such complete context.)
4:6 To seal our sonship God has commissioned the Spirit of sonship to resonate the Abba echo in our hearts; and now, in our innermost being we recognize him as our true and very dear Father. (The original life of the Father revealed in his Son is the life the Spirit now conducts within us. [Rom 8:14] Slavery is such a poor substitute for sonship. They are opposites; the one leads forcefully through fear; sonship responds fondly to Abba Father. [Rom 8:15] His Spirit resonates within our spirit to confirm the fact that we originate in God. [Rom 8:16] Because we are his offspring, we qualify to be his heirs, God himself is our portion, we co-inherit with Christ. Rom 8:17.)
4:7 Can you see how foolish it would be for a son to continue to live his life with a slave mentality? Your sonship qualifies you to immediately participate in all the wealth of God’s inheritance which is yours because of Christ. (Legalism in its every disguise contradicts sonship. Sonship is not for sale.)
4:8 What really amazes me is how gullible you Gentile believers are to get yourselves all tangled up again in oppressive Jewish rites. I mean you know all about your BC days of slavery to imaginary gods under your pagan beliefs.
4:9 In the meantime, you have come to know the real God; [quite unlike the god of your imagination] what is most significant however, is to discover that he knew you all along. After all, how could you possibly feel attracted again to the pathetic principles of religious deception? It does not matter in what disguise legalism comes, whether pagan or Jewish, it brings the same bondage.
4:10 All of a sudden there are special days, months, seasonal, and annual festivities that are scrupulously celebrated; this is nothing more than superstitious religious sentiment.
4:11 I am alarmed that all my passion seems wasted on you.
4:12 I urge you to imitate me [in my conviction about the fact that Jewish customs and their shadow-sentiments are out-dated.]. We are exactly in the same boat, it is really not about me; it is about you. (Our Jewish or Gentile background makes absolutely no difference. I’m not into winning or losing votes for my ministry or me. It’s this Gospel that is my concern and urgency.)
4:13 I have never compromised the Gospel, from the first day I met you, even though I was physically challenged at the time it did not distract from the message.
4:14 Remember how hospitable and sensitive you were towards me in spite of my frail condition. Instead of feeling embarrassed or repelled you treated me like a celestial messenger with the same courtesy you would have shown Christ Jesus.
4:15 At that time you were so overwhelmed with gratitude towards me that you would have gladly given me what is most precious to you, even your own eyes, to give me relief for my discomfort. What tenderness of affection you showed.
4:16 Alas. How is it possible that the same truth that then bonded you to me now turns me into your enemy?
4:17 The people who make me out to be your enemy do that to your disadvantage: they are very eager to isolate you from me, so that your zeal for their Jewish sentiments will boost their religious ego. (Can you not see it; the Law and its followers do not like you for you; their only desire is for themselves.)
4:18 If you want to be zealous for the best possible cause, be zealous for grace. You are fooling yourselves to be nice to me when I’m with you but zealous for them behind my back. It is not about me, I am jealous for you. It is the message that matters most, not someone’s private agenda.
4:19 My darling little children, my jealousy for you compares to a mother over her newly born. I gave birth to you once through my gospel; now I feel those same labor pains all over again. I travail for the full realization of Christ to be 1formed within in you. (The word, 1morpho, means to mold, from meros, form or portion; note the word translated, sin, hameros, to be without form or without your allotted portion; metamorpho, together with form.) 4:20 I long to be with you right now; I want you to hear the urgency in my voice. I wish I could convince you that the law is a cul-de-sac. (Any effort of your own to add to what God has already perfected in you in Christ is a waste of time. It is like trying to re-invent the wheel.)
4:21 Since you are so intrigued by the law, would you please, also understand its prophetic message:
4:22 The law records the fact that Abraham had two sons: one by a slave girl, the other by a free woman.
4:23 The one is produced by the flesh [the Do It Yourself-tree], the other by faith [the promise].
4:24 There is a parallel meaning in the story of the two sons: they represent two systems, works and grace.
4:25 Sinai is an Arabian rocky mountain named after Hagar, [outside the land of promise]. Its association with the law of Moses mirrors Jerusalem as the capital of Jewish legalism. Hagar is the mother of the law of works. [DIY-religion] (See Gal 3:7 The conclusion is clear; faith and not flesh relates us to Abraham. [Grace rather than law is our true lineage. Ishmael represents so much more than the Muslim religion. Ishmael represents the clumsy effort of the flesh to compete with faith; the preaching of a mixed message of law and grace.])
4:26 But the mother from above, the true mother of mankind is grace, the free Jerusalem; she is the mother of the promise.
4:27 For it is written, “Rejoice, Oh childless one. Erupt in jubilee. For though you have never known travail before, your children will greatly outnumber her who was married." (Married to the law; Isaiah 54:1; see also Rom 7:1-6.) 4:28 We resemble Isaac: we are begotten of faith; the promise is our parent.
4:29 Just as when the flesh child persecuted the faith child, so now these Jerusalem Jews in their Christian disguise seek to harass you;
4:30 however, Scripture is clear: “Expel the slave mother and her son; the slave son cannot inherit with the free son.” (In exactly the same way, rid your minds radically from the slave mother and child mentality. Light dispels darkness effortlessly.)

Sometimes arriving too quickly is detrimental. It is dangerous to arrive without our character mature or intact.”—Lisa Bevere
 | Does Gods Will Mean waiting? Here is a collection of Google AI gathered responses. What do I mean by AI, Artificial Intelligence, and where does it gather it's supposed intelligence? the internet! Who has filled the internet with story's, blogs, podcasts, and opinions?
|
- God's delays are not denials:God does something in you before he does something for you. ( I agree in part, God never uses sickness or disease as a tool to maturity)
- God's will is strategic:Nothing God calls us to do is without a purpose. ( I agree)
- God's will is for you to wait well:Until you know God's specific will for your circumstances, his will is for you to wait well. (Disagree, patience is a virtue, He is maturing the sons of God, But Gods answers are not withheld as a means to know Him, that is control and witchcraft.)
- God loves you:God loves you and gives good guidance, provision, help, and strength during the wait. (Agree)
- God's will is to lift you above storms:God will take you through the storm, and he will actually lift you above the storm. (Agree)
- God's will is to develop your character:God is developing your character and making you into the image of Christ. (Agree)
- God's will is to break through:When people patiently and expectantly wait on God, suddenly God breaks through. (Agree in part, and who is doing the breaking through?)

The Magic of Musée d'Orsay's Clock: An Unforgettable Parisian Journey
Picture this. You're in the heart of Paris, the city of love, and you find yourself strolling into the Musée d'Orsay. You're there to see the famous Impressionist artwork, but then something unexpected catches your eye.
It's a clock. But not just any clock. This clock is a grand, ornate masterpiece perched on the fifth floor, its face a window to the city. You're immediately drawn to it, just as I was on my first visit. The clock's intricate ironwork and elegant Roman numerals reflecting a craftsmanship that whispers tales of a time when locomotives were the kings of travel.

This clock isn't just a timepiece, though. It's a window. A window that frames the city in a way no other can. Standing in front of it, you can see the Eiffel Tower, standing tall and proud against the sky. It's a view that blends art, history, and the city's charm into a single, breathtaking moment. Just like me, tourists and photographers can't resist this spot. They capture this blend of past, present, and timeless beauty, each snapshot a memory etched in time. Whether you're an art lover, a history enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates a beautiful view, this clock offers an experience that feels like stepping outside of time.
So, if you ever find yourself in Paris, I encourage you to seek out this clock. Take a moment to stand in front of it, to see the city through its face. It's more than just a clock, it's a window into the soul of Paris, offering a timeless perspective on the city's enduring charm.

| So, dear friends, don’t let this one thing escape your notice: a single day counts like a thousand years to the Lord Yahweh, and a thousand years counts as one day. This means that, contrary to man’s perspective, the Lord is not late with his promise to return, as some measure lateness. But rather, his “delay” simply reveals his loving patience toward you, because he does not want any to perish but all to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3: 8 & 9 Passion. For just one day of intimacy with you is like a thousand days of joy rolled into one! I’d rather stand at the threshold in front of the Gate Beautiful, ready to go in and worship my God, than to live my life without you in the most beautiful palace of the wicked. For the Lord God is brighter than the brilliance of a sunrise! | If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.

In this “Lady in Waiting” season, everything I read/heard and perceived in my mindset in scripture was bent toward a tomorrow, promises were for tomorrow. God is faithful, but it was always tomorrow. God always hears our prayers, but any delay was “God’s will” or “God’s timing.” Again, I was a Lady in Waiting. Everything that seemed promised was in the spirit, for another day, in heaven. I was laying up treasure in heaven, right? Even marriage vows polluted a given life-promise “until death do you part.” Take a very emotionally needy mom of 4 young children, feeling bound by man’s doctrine of the Gospel that is supposed to set her free and put death in front of her as an escape? If we are transparently honest here, it knocked on my door more than once. The enemy pulls no punches. He knows what kind of sword will be carried into battle one day; he spared no expense to try any hindrance to take me out. Or destroy my testimony of family which would leave me on clean up, brokenness and survival mode for years. Grace indeed stewarded my heart and mercy was tremendously assisting my immaturity. I’m painting myself as an emotional basket case. Interesting to read over your words that you wrote several days before. How you interpret the condition of your own heart.

INTERVIEWING JESUS
Don't give up Keep Going! |
As your question floats in the air, reality starts to warp. Time becomes fluid, and you're catapulted back to that life-changing moment—the day when faith sparked within you. In His kind and compassionate way, Jesus begins to narrate the sequence of events, painting a picture rich with grace, hope, and transformation.
You see through His eyes the stirring of your heart, the moment doubts receded, and your soul felt the divine touch. He talks about those late-night chats you had with yourself, the prayers mumbled alone, and the tears shed in the silence of the night.
Jesus traces the route you've taken since that day, spotlighting the high and low points, the lessons absorbed, and the love that's steered you. He points out the strength you unearthed in your weakest moments and the light that pierced through the darkest times.

As the vision wanes and you're back in the present, you're left with a deep sense of peace and purpose, knowing that your faith is a guiding star that will never fail you.
So, let's get started, folks! Today, we're cracking open the mysteries of faith, the might of belief, and the everlasting presence of divine love. Welcome to dear family—where the extraordinary is everyday stuff.

Scripture Treasure
"But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ ” Acts 2:21 Passion
“The tax collector stood alone in a corner, away from the Holy Place, and covered his face in his hands, feeling that he was unworthy even to look up to God. Beating his breast, he sobbed with brokenness and tears saying, ‘God, please, in your mercy and because of the blood sacrifice, forgive me, for I am nothing but the most miserable of all sinners!’ Luke 18:13 Passion
Because of this compelling urgency I am so keen to preach to you Romans also.
I have no shame about sharing the Good News of Christ with anyone; the powerful rescuing act of God persuades both Jew and Gentile alike.
Herein lies the secret of the power of the Gospel; there is no good news in it until the righteousness of God is revealed. The dynamic of the gospel is the revelation of 1God’s faith as the only valid basis for our belief. The Prophets wrote in advance about the fact that God believes that righteousness reveals the life of our design. “Righteousness by his (God’s) faith defines life.” (In David's dramatic, prophetic account of the crucifixion in Psalm 22, he concludes with verse 27, "All the ends of the earth shall remember and return to the Lord; and all the families of the nations shall worship before him." And in verse 31, "...they shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall yet be born; that he has done it." The gospel is the revelation of the righteousness of God; it unveils how the Father, Son and Spirit succeeded to put mankind right with themselves. It is about what God did right, not what Adam did wrong. The good news reveals how God’s righteousness rescued the life of our design and redeemed our innocence. Mankind’s futile efforts to justify themselves, have failed them miserably. [Rom 7] The Good News shifts the emphasis away from our failure and condemnation to highlight what it was that God accomplished in Jesus Christ on humanity’s behalf. “Look away [from the law of works] unto Jesus; he is the 1Author and finisher of faith.” [Hebrews 12:2]. It is God’s faith to begin with; it is 1from faith to faith, and not our good or bad behavior; we are not defined by our performance or circumstances. The Greek word translated “from” is the Preposition, 1ek, which always denotes source or origin. The language of the old written code was, “Do in order to become. The language of the new is, “Be, because of what was done.” Instead of do, do, do, it’s done, done, done. Paul refers here to Habakkuk 2:4, “The just shall live by his [God’s] faith.” Habakkuk sees a complete new basis to mankind’s standing Romans 1:15-17 Mirror

| Today put a giggle in my get-along! Thank you for being a valuable part of what I do! MEET THE BLOGGER >>>This post written in the waning days of summer... a busy summer. Soon we will be pulling the sailboat out of her moorage and battening down for months of beautiful Oregon weather. This week question in the collection of the 70 most asked interview questions: Last weeks question. How did you meet your significant other? Don... forever ago, at the break up of a short 2 year marriage, my best friend and I packed up my 1979 maroon MGB and headed to San Diego Ca. Little did we know that "fate" never let go of us. |  |
We moved right next door to Don. (San Diego has nanny lots with 2 houses) He was in the back house and Suzanne (best friend since 8th grade) we rented the front house. History after that. What was the first thing I said to Don? Hi, I'm you new neighbor. What is the first favor I asked of him? Would you change our back porch light bulb, please!

Kristen's favorite encounter within Chapter 1
Heaven is a fascinating place, a place of generous permission. That is what my spirit perceives, permissions far beyond the imagination. My spirit-eyes seem to hone in on what I was meant to seek. I see a sword hanging on the wall. Heaven is alive, so your perception “feels” and communicates emotions via your spirit, bubbling over with real touch-impressions to your body. Secretly fixated on the sword, I can feel might, value and an extraordinary history I’d love to hear from its former handlers. It’s an awe moment for sure. Easy to be overwhelmed in a good sense from this glorious place. Experience knees are wobbly, so I ask Melchizedek for his wisdom and help to guide me for what I am going to need. Changing your DNA from lack to abundance requires lots of capable tutors. Amen! He smiled at me, and both our eyes were drawn back like a magnet to the sword on the wall. Well forged steel, simple design, balanced handle with turned grips and a single narrow leather strip tied around its neck. Heaven is listening: conversations; my conversation is heard and spoken from the heart, through lips never moving as my spirit is moving toward the sword for a closer look. With my questions spoken in thought: “What’s the significance of the leather straps?” I asked Melchizedek. My answer arrived in no time? “The strap is a portion of David’s leather slingshot.” Well that takes your breath away now doesn’t it? My next question of its ownership arose with a surprising audaciousness, not that I needed the sword, but may I have it? His/Melchezidek’s response was humbling: “Nobody else has come to get it...” Selah. My journal notes say: what an odd statement Sir King of Salem. When I said this to him, he held out his left hand to me and in it was a small round ancient pure gold snuff or pill box, the size of a fifty-cent-piece, fitting petite-lay in the palm of his hand. My first impressions feel like there is gold dust inside? He smiled at me as we exchanged gifts, I gestured forward and covered both our hands with my left hand to hug-hand-shake the exchange. Thank you. I put the mighty sword on my back and thanked him for the golden box. It feels like a personal gift. I must have been twenty inches taller than when I came in. A remnant of greatness (the sword) hung on my back, my clothes mysteriously transformed in the exchange as I walked out with a new suit of armor and a personal treasure in my hand.

Scripture Treasure Chest
1 Corinthians 15: 51-54 Passion - Listen, and I will tell you a divine mystery: not all of us will die, but we will all be transformed. It will happen in an instant —in the twinkling of his eye. For when the last trumpet is sounded, the dead will come back to life. We will be indestructible and we will be transformed. For we will discard our mortal “clothes” and slip into a body that is imperishable. What is mortal now will be exchanged for immortality. And when that which is mortal puts on immortality, and what now decays is exchanged for what will never decay, then the Scripture will be fulfilled that says:
Death is swallowed up by a triumphant victory!
His body nailed to the cross hung there as the document of mankind’s guilt; in dying our death he cancelled the detailed hand-written record which testified against us. Every stain on our conscience, reminding of the sense of failure and guilt, was thus fully blotted out. Colossians 2: 14 Mirror
Everything that grace pointed to is now realized in Jesus Christ and brought into clear view through the gospel: Jesus is what grace reveals. He took death out of the equation and re-defines life; this is good news indeed. 2 Timothy 1:10 Mirror

BREATH 1. Take any moment: Turn aside and capture your thoughts, or while laying in bed; Through your nose ~ Breathe in God's breathe; imagine that breathe moving through your body, direct that breathe similar to turning on the flow of a hose. Envision His breathe moving in you, the "faucet" is open, take the head of the hose and point it, lay it on specific areas of the body that need healing. Feel the "flow" moving up and down through your body.
a. Take that same "hose of breathe" and in your minds eye, direct it over a loved one. See the "breathe of His name YH (inhale) WH (exhale.) BREATH inhale ~ RELEASE exhale... see leaving your body whatever Jesus highlights to release!

| There was a moment when Moses had the nerve to ask God what His name was. Exodus 3 God was gracious enough to answer, and the name He gave in the original Hebrew was “YHWH.” Credit Chris Lacy Read the entire article. Scholars and rabbis say the letters “YHWH” represent breathing sounds or aspirated consonants. When pronounced without vowels, it sounds like breathing: YH (inhale), WH (exhale). |  |
When I was a little Girl my grandma gave me a small faded pink flesh color plaster sign, about the length of a forearm, it looked like a scroll of paper. On the brittle sign was the verse: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:4-5 the rest of the passage is equally wise. Growing up on a ninety two acre farm in Independence Or. My upstairs bedroom was nestled on the north-side of our craftsman farmhouse . That plaster sign hung on the wall of my room, just above the headboard of my bed. Today it hangs on the headboard of my heart.
TRUST in the work of His, Son!

COMMUNION is living and the bread that the Lord serves you...consists of His broken body shed for you and also served to you. He is our "Shewbread" Fresh manna from heaven made daily for you. SIMPLE, not always in the context of "food" but prepared to feed the life of your design. Wholeness, wherever the Lord desires to fill. SIMPLE PROFOUND LIVING.

From Passion Translation: Wisdom’s Guidance
Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go. Don’t think for a moment that you know it all, for wisdom comes when you adore him with undivided devotion and avoid everything that’s wrong. Then you will find the healing refreshment your body and spirit long for. Glorify God with all your wealth, honoring him with your firstfruits, with every increase that comes to you. Then every dimension of your life will overflow with blessings from an uncontainable source of inner joy! It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.” (Isaiah 55:11, NLT) |
 | TRUST in the work of His, Son! Hebrews 13:8 Mirror: Take your lead from Jesus. He is your reference to the most complete life. In him yesterday is confirmed today and today mirrors tomorrow. What God spoke to us in Christ is as relevant now as it was in the prophetic past and will always be in the eternal future. (Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever; there is a history to our salvation that carries more authority and relevance than anything that ever happened in our past, or anything present in time or still to happen in the future. Imagine the enormity of eternity in his sameness before time was; and we were there in him all along. |
Jesus Christ is always trustworthy as the Son of God and high priest, active in creation, offering salvation, authoring redemption, restoration and wholeness and reigning in heaven.
b. Set aside a quiet place: meaning quiet of mind! Driving to work, taking a walk, anywhere you can offer Him your undivided attention. Having elements on hand is always optional, take communion in the spirit and allow Jesus to set the table with the elements He chooses. And when the occasion arises, set a table with "real elements."

 Catching the Head (Heading) Remember, what God promised Joshua, He also promises you, for all that was promised to this Joshua is fulfilled in the better Joshua (Jesus) in whom we are included for receiving all of God's promises as yes and amen.

 Out of the Chute God gave Joshua seven promises: 1. He would possess a vast territory 2. No one would be able to defeat him 3. God would be with him as he was with Moses 4. God would never fail him 5. God would never abandon him 6. He would enjoy prosperity and success 7. God would be with him wherever he went  Holding the head while the "healer" catches the feet. |
- Just 'cause trouble comes visiting doesn't mean you have to offer it a place to sit down."
- Deuteronomy 31:6
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you". - Philippians 4:12-13
"I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength". This verse suggests that true happiness can be found in Christ, and that God can sustain people no matter what they're facing. - from the Mirror 4:12 I am not defined by abuse or abundance. It might be a different day and a different place, but the secret remains the same; whether I am facing a feast or a fast, a fountain or famine. (Abundance is not a sign of God’s goodness; neither is lack a sign of his absence. “Righteousness by his (God’s) faith defines life.” The good news is the fact that the Cross of Christ was a success. God rescued the life of our design; he redeemed our innocence. Mankind would never again be judged righteous or unrighteous by their own ability to obey moral laws. It is not about what someone must or must not do but about what Jesus has done. It is from faith to faith, and not a person’s good or bad behavior or circumstances interpreted as a blessing or a curse [Hab 2:4]. Instead of reading the curse when disaster strikes, Habakkuk realizes that the Promise out-dates performance as the basis to mankind’s acquittal. Deuteronomy 28 would no longer be the motivation or the measure of right or wrong behavior. “Though the fig trees do not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. God, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like hinds’ feet, he makes me tread upon my high places [Hab 3:17-19 RSV]. “Look away [from the law of works] to Jesus; he is the Author and finisher of faith.” [Heb 12:1]. See Rom 1:17.) 4:13 In every situation I am strong in the one who empowers me from within to be who I am.
- Psalm 23:4
"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me". This verse encourages people to draw strength from the Lord and offers comfort during life's uncertainties.

| a question Don and I have gone round and round in this season. Do we sell the Harley? I can't imagine retiring my pink sparkle helmet. MEET THE BLOGGER >>>Off and running ahead of schedule; Feels so good when organization is working with you, amen. Now for inquiring minds, forward bound in our quest of answering 70 of the most popular interview questions. If you would like to backtrack my respond, LAST WEEK. This weeks question: What's your Myers Briggs type or number on the Enneagram? I do not know. I have participated in "Spiritual Gifts" answer and questionnaires, but not Myers Briggs or Number? I do know this about myself, my particular mixology as far as leadership skill test and the like, have placed me in a 3% category that includes women. If I remember right I am a mix of Lion and Otter. You might say I am a high performance kind of gal. My redemptive gift is prophet, My love languages are, Words of Affirmation and Giving. Now some of you curious ones might say, what about the spiritual gifts referred to in Ephesians? |  |
Depends on WHO is doing the answering. God, me and what I know about myself, the doctrines of the church. The odd things that have occurred in the "prophetic world." If you're leading, dominate, bent to the prophetic, people will assume or even label you with "Prophet." Nope, that is my redemptive gift, not office. My natural nature is geared more to Apostolic, clearing new ground as an architect like God. You could say I am similar to Joshua and Caleb in the story of the 10 spies. Oh that we would "crossover" and follow Christ where He is seated, ruling and reigning.
I can't tell you how many times Don and I would attend a leadership conference, you would sign up for prophetic ministry and Don would receive my word. The church mindset assumes leader/pastor/male. Don gracious that he is, would point to me and say, nope she is the Pastor and joke that "he was the Pastor's Wife." I do believe that once a person steps through the veil and there transformation begins "Heaven-side" we grow spiritually into all the gifts just like Jesus. Our focus, Fully mature sons. If you have a gift/office/title the purpose of the gift is sharing and showing others how to function in it. We already have had our ah-ha moment about making any individual a middleman. Like I always say: go ask Jesus. PERSONALLY!

But that doesn’t mean you should all look and speak and act the same. Out of the generosity of Christ, each of us is given his own gift. The text for this is,
He climbed the high mountain,
He captured the enemy and seized the plunder,
He handed it all out in gifts to the people.
Is it not true that the One who climbed up also climbed down, down to the valley of earth? And the One who climbed down is the One who climbed back up, up to highest heaven. He handed out gifts above and below, filled heaven with his gifts, filled earth with his gifts. He handed out gifts of apostle, prophet, evangelist, and pastor-teacher to train Christ’s followers in skilled servant work, working within Christ’s body, the church, until we’re all moving rhythmically and easily with each other, efficient and graceful in response to God’s Son, fully mature adults, fully developed within and without, fully alive like Christ. Ephesians 4: 7-13 MSG

(Couriers, communicators, counsellors and coaches. — Rob Lacey.)
4:7 The gift of Christ measures the extravagant dimensions of grace; where everyone is equally advantaged. (One measure, one worth. Our individual value is defined by his gift; not by our performance.)
4:8 Scripture confirms that he arrested every possible threat that held mankind hostage. ["he took captivity captive"] And in his resurrection, he led us as trophies in his triumphant procession on high.
Consider the genius of God, in the incarnate Christ, he repossessed what belonged to us by design, in human form; this is his grace-gift to us.
4:9 The fact that he ascended confirms his victorious descent into the deepest pits of human despair.
4:10 He now occupies the ultimate rank of authority, from the lowest regions of our darkness into which he reached in order to rescue us, to the highest authority in the heavens, having executed his mission to the full.
4:11 What God has in us, is gift wrapped to the world: some are commissioned to pioneer, others are gifted prophetically, some as announcers of good news, some as shepherds with a real gift to care and nurture, and others have a gift to ignite instruction through revelation knowledge. (Couriers, communicators, counsellors and coaches. — Rob Lacey.)
4:12 Each expression of his gift is to fully equip and enable you for the work of the ministry so that you may mutually contribute in your specific function to give definition to the visible body of Christ. 4:13 The purpose of these ministry gifts is to present everyone on par and in oneness of faith; believing exactly what the Son of God believes and knowing accurately what he knows concerning us. Standing face-to-face in equal stature to the measure of the completeness of Christ.

 | Govern Your RaceFor unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 Berean Study Bible |
Living in the moment can be a challenge, but it is the key to experiencing life fully. As Emily Dixon once said, "Forever is composed of nows." We are focusing on seven keys to living in the moment, both seen and unseen. The first key is to govern your own race. This means being responsible for your own life choices in relationship with Jesus and embracing the present moment. To live in the present, you must let go of the past and not worry about the future. Cherish the current moment and make the most of today. Each day comes with its own gifts, so untie the ribbon and open them up.
The second secret tied in time is to living in the moment with an understanding of time. Time can be thought of as a being, and it is marked by completion. We touch on: Erase negative timestamps in your life and let the prayers of the saints wash over you.
Revelations 5:8-9 speaks of marking completion time in our understanding. The moment when Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, was presented before the 24 Elders and each one had a stringed instrument and a typical temple vessel. The residue of sin itself consumed. His sacrifice the Lamb of God marked in time has just been presented in the outer court and then offered on the golden altar before the veil. We've gathered at the hour of incense at the hour of our eternal selves at the hour of gratitude and praise.
We highlight to live in the moment is to choose your words and who you listen to. Choose the moments that take your breath away and cover your day. Remember that His answer for you is tangible and that even tho the vision awaits its appointed time. It hastens to the end and it will not lie. Wait for it, it will surely come and it will not delay. Your life is a sweet smelling offering to God, and it is beautiful to Him. By embracing the present moment, you allow His sacrifice to consume hard places and wash and cleanse your mind, thoughts, and words. Your life is a worship, and it is a proclamation of His excellent worth.

 | Clarity, Now verses Tomorrow1 Corinthians 13:12 There was a time of suspense, when everything we saw was merely mirrored in the prophetic word, like in an enigma; but then [when I became an adult in the revelation of Christ], I gaze face-to-face that I may know me, even as I have always been known. “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.“ Jeremiah 1:5.) Mirror |
Clarity Now Versus Tomorrow: Finding Joy in the Present Moment
Have you ever felt like everything in your life was just a puzzle, with missing pieces that you couldn't quite make out? It can be frustrating to feel like you're missing something important, like you're not quite sure what you're meant to be doing or where you're meant to be going.
But there's good news: according to First Corinthians 13:12, there will come a time when everything will become clear. Right now, we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but one day, every day we experience Him we have growing clarity to see ourselves in Him.
This concept of perfect clarity is all about gazing face to face with Christ, so that we might know ourselves even as we have always been known. It's about finding joy in the present moment, even as we look forward to the future with hope and expectation.
When we walk through Christ's sacrifice, we walk through his reflection, through his face. And this brings us happiness, not in some far-off future or in some other place, but right here, right now.
It's not always easy to live in the present moment, especially when there are so many distractions and worries vying for our attention. But when we fix our eyes upon Jesus, He becomes the source of our sustenance and the conclusion of our faith.
He endured the cross and despised the shame of it, all because He chose to see the joy of mankind's salvation. And that same joy can be ours, too, if we're willing to let go of our fears and doubts and trust in His love for us.
So let's embrace the present moment, even as we look forward to the future with hope and expectation. Let's find joy in the now, and let that joy light a flame that burns brightly into tomorrow.

Shifting Focus to the Future with a Powerful Metaphor and Biblical Reference
We highlight the importance of leaving the past behind and looking to the future. Using a metaphor of driving and looking in the side mirror, the focus is the significance of moving forward. Living in the present moment means acknowledging the value of each breath. I Love drawing on the biblical story of the bronze basin from Exodus, how this act of cleansing symbolizes the washing away of sins, a sacrifice that Jesus has accomplished for us. Encountering Him shifts the focus to know Him as our High Priest who has washed us clean, emphasizing that we are complete in Christ and reflect him like mirrors. Take a moment to visualize your self as the mirror!

 | What did Jesus say?To go back to the very beginning, is to find the Word already present there; face to face with God. The one mirrors the other. The Word is I am; God’s eloquence echoes and concludes in him. The Word equals God. John 1:1 Mirror |
| Overview of Romans 8:31-39 · The gift of God's Son shows his heart is for us, and nothing can disqualify us from his love. · Jesus' death faced our judgment, and his resurrection reveals our righteousness. ·He now occupies the highest seat of authority as the executive of our redemption in the throne room of God. ·No calamity can distance us from Christ's love, and we remain triumphant above any threat or power. ·Nothing in time or space can separate us from God's love unveiled in Jesus Christ. |  |
All these things point to one conclusion, God is for us. Who can prevail against us? The gift of his Son is the irrefutable evidence of God’s heart towards us. He held nothing in reserve; but freely gave everything we could ever wish to have; this is what our joint sonship is all about. God has identified us, who can disqualify us? His word is our origin. No-one can point a finger; he declared us innocent. What further ground can there possibly be to condemn mankind? In his death he faced our judgment; in his resurrection he reveals our righteousness; the implications cannot be undone.
He now occupies the highest seat of authority as the executive of our redemption in the throne room of God.
What will it take to distance us from the love of Christ? You name any potential calamity: intense pressure of the worst possible kind, claustrophobia, persecution, destitution, loneliness, extreme exposure, exposure, life-threatening danger, or war?
Let me quote Scripture to remind you, “Because of our association with you, we were reckoned as sheep to be slaughtered; we have been jointly slain on that day. ”
On the contrary, in the thick of these things our triumph remains beyond dispute. His love has placed us above the reach of any onslaught. This is my conviction; no threat whether it be in death or life; be it celestial messengers, demon powers or political principalities, nothing known to us at this time, or even in the unknown future; no dimension of any calculation in time or space, nor any device yet to be invented, has what it takes to separate us from the love of God unveiled in our Lord, Jesus Christ.

What did we catch Jesus saying...
Five pathways or things Jesus was recorded as saying often: Insights into His Thought Process according to the Gospels, what was written down for our behalf.
Mankind’s association in Jesus is God’s doing. Of His design, we are in Christ, and we are associated in oneness with Him. Our wisdom is sourced in this union. Also, our righteousness and holiness originate from Him.
Holiness equals wholeness and harmony of a person’s spirit, soul, and body. Our redemption is sanctioned in Him. He redeemed our identity, our sanity, our health, our joy, our peace, our innocence, and our complete well-being. Life itself, not death!
By examining these verbal pathways that were written down for us, we can gain insight into how Jesus thought. He emphasized the importance of facing fears, understanding the truth, trusting in what He says to us, realizing that the Kingdom of God is nearer than we might think in this moment, and recognizing that our actions have consequences.
What are those consequences? Feeling separated from Him and His love, and that is totally one-sided from our perspective.
- "Don't let your hearts be troubled!" - Jesus frequently used this phrase (or variations of it) to emphasize the importance of managing our fears. In contrast to letting our fears control our lives, Jesus believed we should face them head-on. To get a handle on our fears He said things like: "Don’t worry about what you will eat or drink" or "Don’t be afraid, Peter. Follow me, and you will become a fisher of men!"
- "You have heard it said... but I say to you..." - Jesus often used this phrase to challenge common misconceptions or misunderstandings. He wanted people to understand the truth and not be misled by false information.
- "Surely, surely, I tell you..." - By using the Hebrew word "Amen," Jesus was emphasizing the solid and unwavering nature of the truth he was sharing. He wanted his followers to know that his teachings were trustworthy and not to be doubted.
- "The Kingdom of heaven is at hand, closer than you think" - Jesus frequently spoke about the Kingdom of God, emphasizing that it was nearer than people believed. He wants you and I to realize that we can experience Him here and now.
- "Blessed are you" (and also "Woe to you") - The Beatitudes in Matthew 5 Jesus used contrasting phrases. He was warning people that their actions had real-world consequences. He wanted to share with people the closeness of God and that God noticed everything they did not to highlight reward or punishment but to stimulate a lifestyle of holiness.
Mankind’s association in Jesus is God’s doing. Of His design, we are in Christ, and we are associated in oneness with Him. Our wisdom is sourced in this union. Also, our righteousness and holiness originate from Him.
Holiness equals wholeness and harmony of a person’s spirit, soul, and body. Our redemption is sanctioned in Him. He redeemed our identity, our sanity, our health, our joy, our peace, our innocence, and our complete well-being. Life itself, not death!

| I remember that day clearly, after a wonderful warm summer on the docks, autumn gave a push to change the seasons and the first sweater came out. MEET THE BLOGGER >>>I find it amazing that you and I have been connected for a season, Thank you. Now back to answering 70 of the most asked questions by interviewers. Last weeks answers. This weeks question: if you could create a law that everyone in the world had to follow what would it be? Be passionate. Be patient. Be happy. Always live in the moment. |  |
"Had" to follow? Wow, that took me some time to think of an answer. I have a story with that. I am blessed to have known my Great Grandmother, Euphemia Coffman, born 1880, Keota Iowa on the family farm. She lived to a wonderful age of 99, always had hanky's bunched up in her silky jersey dress pockets and was one of the wisest people I have every known. Grandma was a very good listener, with a quiet and strong countenance. Consider her life began via horse and buggy, two world wars, a depression, the introduction of, cars, planes, television and phones. (to this day our family "honk" is that original Iowa farm party-line number. One long, two shorts. ) She passed away spring of my 21st year. I don't remember her ever complaining about anything; not even an ache in her bones. One of the most memorial days was during a RV trip with my folks back to the Iowa farm and the beloved county of farms that I grew up hearing about. Grandma and Auntie (her sister) use to play with there china porcelain dolls on a large hand made quilt. Those dolls, exquisitely made in France sit inside a curio case in my living room. Can you imagine playing with porcelain dolls shipped all the way from France in the late 1800s? During that beloved road trip we visited the old Brethren Community church and cemetery, filled with my ancestors and there neighbors. The day etched in my memories as I stood over the grave stones of Grandma Coffman's two beloved daughters who both died before the age of two. Aleph and Byrdel, there baby rings still lay in my Mom's jewelry box. I can't imagine the pain she suffered loosing two. All I know is that they had issues with the inability to digest any milks or formula. They starved to death. Maybe this lead to her quiet wisdom in life. Pain has a way of building walls of perseverance. Those walls didn't keep anyone out, they made her the strength of a Patriarch. Now to my LAW! I heard these stories sitting around the kitchen table play cribbage, family stories, relationship tales, the kind that echo'ed her wisdom. Grandma said that she and grandpa had an understanding in there relationship. Imagine my grandpa coming in from a full work day of farming corn and soybean in the Iowa soil. There unspoken sign was: If Grandma pinned up the corner of the hem of her apron that meant she had had a bad day, tread lightly, walk with compassion and understanding. Give her some space. Fathom the countless misunderstandings that were avoided by the toggle of a little safety pin.
That is my LAW: every-time we see another person "Pin up the corner of there apron" maybe that translates as a upside down happy face sticker in the drivers car window when there driving, or a select pink grocery cart at the store, or a zebra stripped phone case, easy things for the community to notice without "saying." And we HAVE to follow the LAW to tread lightly around them, walk with compassion and understanding, give them space; even on the road or standing in the grocery store line! Fathom the countless misunderstandings that would be avoided by the "toggle of a little safety pin."

Challenge is the pathway to engagement and progress in our lives. But not all challenges are created equal. Some challenges make us feel alive, engaged, connected, and fulfilled. Others simply overwhelm us. Knowing the difference as you set bigger and bolder challenges for yourself is critical to your sanity, success, and satisfaction. —Brendon Burchard

“Because of all Christ did on the cross, we now have access to the same health and wholeness found in Him. Our God is the healer. It’s not something He chooses to do or not do; it is who He is.
When you take Communion, align yourself with this reality.” ― Beni Johnson |
“When a Christian tries to live by reason he is moving out of God’s country into the enemy’s land.
We belong in the miraculous and the supernatural realm.” — John G. Lake Healing

Welcome back, everyone! Thank you for joining us as we delve into meaningful discussions with Jesus, exploring the depths of our connection to the Father. Your time here is truly appreciated as we embark on this journey together.
Let's set a clear boundary today. Can we agree on that? I firmly believe that healing applies universally to all situations and conditions – sickness and disease never originate from God, and He does not test us through illness. There is no darkness in Him, period. This provision is an expression of God's love for all of us. Drawing from John's quote, when a Christian steps out of God's realm into the enemy's territory, we belong in the realm of miracles and the supernatural. Amen.
One of my favorite scriptures that addresses every question is Romans 8:37-39, affirming that our triumph is certain in the midst of challenges. His love elevates us beyond the reach of any attack. This is my belief – no threat, whether death or life, celestial beings, demonic forces, political powers, or any unknown element in time or space, has the power to separate us from God's love revealed through Jesus Christ.

We are prepared and excited! Have you ever experienced this scenario? While going about your day – at the grocery store, getting gas, or waiting at a stoplight – you notice people who remind you of someone. It's like a repeated pattern. You might be shopping and suddenly see a lady who bears a striking resemblance to someone you know, from her appearance to her mannerisms. At times, you might even believe it's that exact person. Has this ever happened to you? These encounters could be prompting you to reconnect with them if they are still alive. It could be a nudge from Holy Spirit, signaling that they might need your prayers or intercession. Don't hesitate to reach out to them. Reflect on why a certain aspect of that person's life is being highlighted – whether it's their role as a teacher, a close friend, or a former pastor. Seek guidance from the Lord on why that particular season is being brought to your attention. It could be for encouragement, healing, or simply to remember. However, if the person you keep seeing has passed away and is now in heaven, it shifts the perspective. This reflection leads us to this week's question:
What if we could interview (this person) from the cloud of witnesses? Amen.
What if we could interview (this person) from the cloud of witnesses? Amen.
WHOSE WHO IN THE CLOUD OF WITNESSES
Jesus, the Example
Hebrew 12:1 Therefore, since we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let’s rid ourselves of every obstacle and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking only at Jesus, the originator and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
from the Mirror
12:1 So now the stage is set for us: all these faith-heroes cheer us on; they are the 1cloud of witnesses; as it were, like a great multitude of spectators in the amphitheater. This is our moment. As with an athlete who is determined to win, it would be silly to carry any baggage of the old law-system that would weigh one down. Make sure you do not get your feet clogged up with sin-consciousness. Become absolutely streamlined in faith. Run the race of your spiritual life with total persuasion.

Matthew 17:1–8; Mark 9:2–8; Luke 9:28–36
Matthew 17:1–8The Transfiguration And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and have no fear.” And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

Mark 9:2–8The Transfiguration And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one on earth could bleach them. And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. And Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified. And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.” And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.

Luke 9:28–36The Transfiguration Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray. And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white. And behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said. As he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!” And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

Luke 9:27 Mirror
The Kingdom of God is not a future event beyond your reach. You don’t have to wait till you’re dead to see it; some of you standing here are about to dramatically witnesses what I am talking about. 9:28 The following week, this conversation was endorsed when Jesus took Peter, John and Jacob [James] with him and ascended the mountain to pray.
And while he was praying his appearance was spectacularly changed by the radiance of God’s splendor bursting through his skin; his face and even his clothes became dazzling white like light. 9:30 Look. Both Moses and Elijah were there with him and talking to him.

 | Welcome back to our community! We are about to embark on the next phase of our mystical journey through the cloud of witnesses. Remember, we are here to uncover more of His divine presence and answer the audacious questions we raised in our last episode. What are your thoughts on the cloud of witnesses? Do you believe our loved ones are vibrant and alive in a heavenly realm, or do they reside in a mystical eternity? When does eternity truly begin? |
John 14:12 provides some insight into this profound truth: "Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things." This suggests that the Father is as present in you as He is in me.
Let's bring this into the present day – you and I are here, and Jesus Christ is in the mystical realm of the kingdom of heaven, seated at the right hand of the Father. He affirms that the Father is as present in you as He is in me. Now, let's delve into the rest of our story and uncover the mystery. What wisdom will they (the Cloud of Witnesses) share, and where will this journey take us? Join me on this adventure; I'll see you on the inside.

Some people grow up feeling terrified of Communion.
Not so much because of the “eat my flesh and drink my blood” part (see John 6:56), but more often because of what it says in First Corinthians 11:27, “Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord” (NASB). I was talking to a friend recently who said that when she was young, she would frantically search her memory for every sin she could have committed in the last month. She would confess anything and everything, thinking that if she missed something, she might die right there on the wooden pew. Every month held a renewed sense of terror as she reached for the bread and juice.
This is not how it’s supposed to be. It’s funny to talk about now that she’s an adult, but experiencing the sacrament of Communion is not something that should terrify our children. Communion is a powerful way to encounter the Lord, and we get to invite them into that with expectation. Seth Dahl, co-author of Win-Win Parenting, led Bethel’s Children’s Ministry for seven years. He does a brilliant job of empowering children to have their own God encounters. Children do not have a junior Holy Spirit. On the contrary, they often have an easier time connecting with the presence of the Lord because they don’t have years of “stuff ” to unlearn. When leaders come into our environment needing a prophetic word, we will often ask the kids to minister to them. Their purity, fearlessness and lack of religion seem to allow them to hear God’s voice in a way that often leaves their audiences profoundly moved.

Scripture Treasure
| Hebrews 10:15-23 Mirror This is exactly what the Holy Spirit now endorses in us having already foretold it in Scripture. This is my covenant that I will make with you during those days, says the Lord; I will greatly advantage you by giving my laws in your hearts and engrave them in your inmost thoughts. This is final: I have no record of your sins and misdeeds. I cannot recall them. (Nothing in God’s reference of mankind, reminds him of sin. Sins were dealt with in such a thorough manner that the idea of future offerings would never again be considered. Nothing that we can personally sacrifice could add any virtue to our innocence. So, fellow family, what the blood of Jesus communicates, seals our immediate access into this ultimate place of sacred encounter, with unashamed confidence. This is the official inauguration of a brand new way of life. The torn flesh of Jesus opened the veil for us. Our own flesh can no longer be a valid excuse to interrupt the expression of the life of our design from within our innermost shrine. We have a High Priest in the house. We are free to approach God with absolute confidence, fully persuaded in our hearts that nothing can any longer separate us. We are invited to draw near now. We are thoroughly cleansed, inside and out, with no trace of sin’s stains on our conscience or conduct. The sprinkled blood purges our inner thought-patterns; our bodies also are bathed in clean water. (1 Cor 6:19 Do you not realize that your body is the sacred shrine of the Spirit of God, echoing within you. You do not own your life. 1 Cor 6:20 You are bought and paid for. All of you are his. Live your life conscious of how irreplaceable priceless you are. You host God in your skin.) Our conversation echoes his persuasion; his faithfulness backs his promises. (His integrity inspires our confession. “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.) |  Activation Consider today's invitation from the Holy Spirit as your personal workshop. Picture this: a target drawn on a piece of paper. The bull's-eye? That's where we're aiming in life. Sin isn't about guilt or shame; it's simply missing the aim. And repentance? Think of it as refocusing your aim. Do you have such areas in your life? Places where you didn't quite hit the mark? Sometimes, these off-target shots cloak themselves in shame, weighing on us. So, let's take a moment to quiet our hearts. Let's listen to the voice of Holy Spirit within us. As the Spirit speaks, note down on your spiritual piece of paper any areas it brings to mind. Now, fold your paper. Once that paper is folded, it becomes a private conversation between you and God. |

INTERVIEWING JESUS
AUDIENCE with God |
Confidence. It's as delicate as fine china and just as easily broken. Yet it's as vital to us as the air we breathe. When our confidence wavers, it can feel as if we're adrift in a sea with no sight of land. I'm sure many of you can relate. It's that sensation of the stable ground you've been treading on suddenly giving way beneath you. It's a precious treasure, so easily shattered yet capable of being mended by a master craftsman. However, it's a journey, not a pit stop. There's no magic wand to wave, no instant cure. We all have those moments, those areas in our lives, where our confidence takes a hit, where we stumble and fall. It could be a volatile market, a health scare, a family crisis – things that come out of the blue and knock the wind out of us. But let me reassure you, rebuilding that confidence, regaining that footing, is achievable. It takes intention, it takes practical steps, and yes, it takes time. I'd like to let you in on a conversation I had with the Lord, a dialogue that helped guide me back onto the path of confidence and hope. Let's start with the most crucial tool, the one I'll describe in this podcast. Then, I'll share a moment in my life where this tool made all the difference. Ready? Let's get started.
the Linen Cloths...
The presence of the linen cloths and face-cloth are highly emphasized in defenses of the resurrection of Jesus; it is the reason Peter and John saw and believed Jesus was raised from the dead even though they had not yet understood how the Scriptures had spoken of it (John 20:8). We must keep in mind that a Roman guard was present at the tomb (Matthew 27:64-66); if Jesus’ body had been stolen away from the tomb, it would make no sense to unwrap all the linen cloths and the face-cloth, roll up the face-cloth, and then run away with the body; every additional second of the heist would increase the odds of being seen and/or captured in the act. Grave robbers would just take the body with the linen cloths to their lair and then take it all apart. Even if the story the soldiers said after being paid off to say it had any truth, that the disciples stole the body while they slept (Matthew 28:11-15), it would make no sense for them to leave the linen cloths; how long would it have taken before some of the Roman soldiers would wake up (as if they would ever be caught sleeping, the punishment for which was normally death!)? The best explanation for the presence of the linen cloths is that the One wrapped in it took them off and carefully rolled up the face-cloth and set it aside as He departed. The linen cloths and the face-cloth do provide a wonderful testimony to the resurrection of Jesus!
Thus Jesus left the linen cloths and face-cloth as He departed the tomb in the resurrection. Did He just leave them to prove He is risen from the dead? Or is there perhaps greater meaning and significance to the linen cloths? Credit: Ethan R. Longhenry Continue reading the article

Elisha Helps a Poor Widow4 One day the widow of a member of the group of prophets came to Elisha and cried out, “My husband who served you is dead, and you know how he feared the Lord. But now a creditor has come, threatening to take my two sons as slaves.”2 “What can I do to help you?” Elisha asked. “Tell me, what do you have in the house?”“Nothing at all, except a flask of olive oil,” she replied.3 And Elisha said, “Borrow as many empty jars as you can from your friends and neighbors. 4 Then go into your house with your sons and shut the door behind you. Pour olive oil from your flask into the jars, setting each one aside when it is filled.”5 So she did as she was told. Her sons kept bringing jars to her, and she filled one after another. 6 Soon every container was full to the brim“Bring me another jar,” she said to one of her sons.“There aren’t any more!” he told her. And then the olive oil stopped flowing.7 When she told the man of God what had happened, he said to her, “Now sell the olive oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on what is left over.” 2 Kings 4 NLT
Pray like this:
‘Our Beloved Father, dwelling in the heavenly realms,
may the glory of your name
be the center on which our lives turn.
10Manifest your kingdom realm,
and cause your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth,
just as it is in heaven.
11We acknowledge you as our Provider
of all we need each day.
12Forgive us the wrongs we have done as we ourselves
release forgiveness to those who have wronged us.
13Rescue us every time we face tribulation
and set us free from evil.
For you are the King who rules
with power and glory forever. Amen.’
14“And when you pray, make sure you forgive the faults of others so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you. 15But if you withhold forgiveness from others, your Father withholds forgiveness from you.” Matthew 6 TPT

Portions in Part II
Confidence, my friend, is like the fuel in our life's engine. It powers us through the bumpy roads of life and helps us stay on course. But, just like the fuel in your car, it can run low and sometimes, it might even feel like you're running on empty.
Ever felt your engine sputter at work? You know, when a project doesn't go as planned, or a boss gives you a tough review. It's as if someone just poured water in your fuel tank. You hesitate before taking on new roles, your work becomes a struggle, and the office doesn't feel like a second home anymore.
Now, let's think about our social circles - parties, dinners, get-togethers. When you're low on confidence, it's like showing up to a dance floor with two left feet. The fear of judgment, past experiences, or just plain old social anxiety can make you want to stick to the wall instead of owning the floor. And you end up missing out on the joy of connecting with others, leaving you feeling alone in a crowd.
And don't even get me started on personal setbacks. They're like those nasty potholes that appear out of nowhere. A bad breakup, a missed opportunity, or just negative thoughts can cause a jolt so severe that it shakes your belief in your own worth.
But guess what, it's never the end of the road. Building confidence is like a constant journey, with its ups and downs, twists and turns. And the beautiful part is, you're the driver. You can stop for help, refuel, and get back on the road. Reach out to your pit crew - friends, mentors, professionals. Reflect on your journey, recognize your strengths, and celebrate your wins.
So gear up, my friend. Refuel your confidence, and let's hit the road with renewed strength and faith. You've got this. Let's conquer those miles with resilience and assurance.

Romans 1:17 the mirror, Herein lies the secret of the power of the Gospel; there is no good news in it until the righteousness of God is revealed. The dynamic of the gospel is the revelation of 1God’s faith as the only valid basis for our belief. The Prophets wrote in advance about the fact that God believes that righteousness reveals the life of our design.
“Righteousness by his (God’s) faith defines life.”
GRACE is speaking loudly to us here.
Righteousness or in Right standing by His, God's faith defines life.
its God's faith that lives on the inside of You.
Not how much we flex the mustard seed of faith.
The Good News shifts the emphasis away from our trying, our ta do list, failure and condemnation to highlight what it was that God accomplished in Jesus Christ on humanity’s behalf.
Habakkuk 2:4, “The just shall live by his [God’s] faith.”
God will go to any and all lengths to reveal to you and I, Every time we love, encounter joy, or experience beauty, a hint of the nature of our Maker reflects within us; We are Mirrored in Him.
Romans 3:4 God’s word is not under threat. In fact, if all of mankind fails, truth remains intact. Truth is defined in God; it is neither challenged nor vindicated by human experience. Contradiction does not intimidate or diminish God’s belief. Scripture records that God stands justified in his own word; it confirms that God’s promise and purpose are not compromised through mankind’s failure; neither is God’s reputation threatened by our behavior. (Truth does not become true by popular vote. It is already as true as it gets because God believes it; it is from faith to faith, says Paul [Rom 1:17]; there is no gospel in it until the righteousness of God is revealed; “we can do nothing against the truth.” [See 2 Cor 13:5 and 8]. David’s sin did not cancel God’s promise. “But my mercy I will not take from him” and “his house shall be made sure, and his kingdom for ever before me, and his throne shall be set up forever.” [2 Sam 7:15-16].)

his collection, STUNNING... morning meditation without distraction music.
The human capacity for burden is like bamboo- far more flexible than you’d ever believe at first glance.” ― Jodi Picoult, My Sister’s Keeper
| as I am writing to you today, coffee in hand, morning thoughts and motivations whirling the morning. God is good, and He delights in your company. MEET THE BLOGGER >>>Happenstances: the moment is significant, in the present of His presence. Ok, ok, I'll answer a hard question today. (70 most popular questions asked by interviewers) <last week> What is something that you know to be true that many people disagree with you on, something that you're so sure about. Eternal choice: Choice to believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, providing you everlasting life, doesn't have a "manmade time frame" attached to it. I know, all those scriptures that come to mind, but here's the deal: When Jesus personally takes down into the lower of realms of the earth, shows you a loved one, stuck ( not trapped or condemned) in Sheol by there own choice to be angry, hateful or unforgiving. All the interpretation of doctrines printed, preached or practiced vanish in the TRUTH of Himself. If He led captivity captive... so can we! Those keys to the kingdom? Aren't just to unlock the heavens! | But don't take my word for it! Go ask Jesus! and yes, those stories, miracles and encounters are on there way to testify of His immense LOVE. |
Unity in the Body
(Psalm 133:1–3; 1 Corinthians 1:10–17)1As a prisoner in the Lord, then, I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received: 2with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3and with diligence to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 7Now to each one of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8This is why it says; “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men. 9What does “He ascended” mean, except that He also descendedc to the lower parts of the earth? 10He who descended is the very One who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things.
Psalm 68:18
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.
Colossians 2:15
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Proverbs 30:4
Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His hands? Who has bound up the waters in His cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is the name of His Son--surely you know!

In an increasingly complex world, the concept of simplicity often feels like a distant dream.
Living Loving Learning···LaughingEpisode Highlights
|
However, embracing simplicity can be a powerful tool for enhancing our well-being and achieving a more balanced life. Keeping life simple is not about deprivation or minimalism to the extreme, but rather about making deliberate choices that align with our values and reduce unnecessary complications. Today we will discuss decluttering, creating a space for clarity, and the most powerful word in the english language, no! Jesus did give us the keys to the kingdom but we do not have to carry them all! Oh we will share a few smiles on the way ok, see you on the inside.

That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.—Steve Jobs
Blocking Time
Imagine your day as a canvas, and your tasks as the paint. To create a masterpiece, you need to thoughtfully allocate time to each hue, each stroke. Start by recognizing the hues that matter most - your priorities. Break them down into smaller strokes, manageable tasks that you can tackle one at a time. Arrange these strokes on your canvas, your schedule, with mindfulness. Don't forget to leave some blank spaces, breaks for your mind to breathe and avoid creative burnout. While your plan provides a guiding sketch, remember that life is an improvisational artist. Be ready to adapt your masterpiece to unexpected splashes of color. This approach not only makes your canvas more productive but also less stressful. Each task, each stroke, gets the attention it deserves, transforming your day into a fulfilling work of art.
a more analytical description below
Time blocking is a powerful productivity technique that involves scheduling specific blocks of time for different tasks or activities throughout your day. By allocating dedicated periods for each task, you can enhance focus, minimize distractions, and ensure that essential activities receive the attention they deserve. This method can be particularly effective for individuals juggling multiple responsibilities or those seeking to optimize their workflow.
To start with time blocking, begin by listing out all the tasks and activities you need to accomplish. This can include work-related duties, personal errands, leisure activities, and even breaks. Once you have a comprehensive list, prioritize these tasks based on their urgency and importance. Next, allocate specific time slots in your calendar for each task. Be realistic about how long each activity will take and include buffer times to accommodate any unexpected interruptions or overruns. Kristen is an Evernote Expert and highly recommends Evernote as an application that meets all your administration and journaling needs.
Using digital tools like Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, or specialized time-blocking apps
can make this process more streamlined and visually organized.
Consistency is key when implementing a time-blocking planner. Regularly review and adjust your blocks to reflect any changes in priorities or new tasks that arise. It’s also crucial to respect the boundaries of each time block and avoid multitasking, as this can undermine the effectiveness of the technique. Over time, you may find that time blocking not only enhances your productivity but also reduces stress by providing a structured approach to managing your day. With practice and dedication, you can transform your daily routine into a more efficient and balanced schedule.

INTERVIEWING JESUS
Strategy forward |
| 39 years ago June! Wow. I love those drop waist → outfits with the cutest knife pleats. Where were we off too? Still living in San Diego, No kids yet... An outdoor symphony concert. MEET THE BLOGGER >>>Are you having fun following me on my 70 most asked questions by popular interviewers? LAST WEEK - Now for this weeks question. What's something people would be surprised to know about you? I was hauled off to jail once. Yup, finger printed and mug shots. Now you are curious. No, the Polk country Sheriff didn't put me behind bars that day. But I have down prison ministry! How'd that occur? 20 years old and a skiing accident, my knee was in a cast, no money and my tags were expired on my little green Honda. Actually I ignored them after several warnings. Then on a lonely Sunday afternoon the local Sheriff department knocked on the front door of our farm house, put me in hands cuffs (in the front) and hauled me to the Polk County Court House until my boyfriend at that time could rob/get to an ATM for bail money! | |

Oh Snap! I am just listening to this episode today! Here's the deal, I value your relationship and community, COMMENT in the blog post and I will happily send you an updated offer link, CIAO! Hello there! If you've just happened upon this episode, let me offer a bit of context. Picture a Baptist Farm Girl, raised on a sprawling 92 acre farm, surrounded by three brothers. That's me. Now, imagine that same girl tumbling headfirst into what I like to call the enigmatic journey of Christ's spiritual nature.
I was once spiritually sightless, but thanks to the luminous and profound love of God, I've been granted the ability to perceive the spiritual realm.
I've traversed the celestial expanses above and the earthly domains below. Yes, I've even glimpsed into hell, sheol, and tartarus. Just to put names to the places. And don't worry, I've included the corresponding scriptures in the Show Notes for your reference.
We're on our 164th episode now, which I think safely classifies me as a podcaster. This venture started somewhat tentatively on October 15th, 2018, before I fully committed on June 9th, 2021.
Now, here's a thought for you: Is there something in your life that Jesus is nudging you to transform from a lukewarm interest to a burning commitment?

SCRIPTURE TREASURES
The word tartarus appears in the Bible in 2 Peter 2:4-6 and Jude 6. The Greek word is often translated as "hell" or "lowest hell" in English versions of the Bible, but it refers to a temporary place of confinement for fallen angels who have sinned. In this context, tartarus can be defined as "the deepest abyss of Hades".
In 2 Peter 2:4, the Bible says, "For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell (tartarus) and delivered them into chains of darkness reserved for judgment". Some interpret this to mean that angels who rebelled against God by intermarrying with human women, or who were cast from heaven with Lucifer, are being punished in tartarus. Jude 1:6 also mentions angels who "abandoned their proper dwelling" in heaven and were cast into tartarus for judgment, "in pits of gloom".
Tartarus also has a history in Greek mythology, where it was originally used to refer to the deepest part of the underworld, where the gods imprisoned their enemies. Over time, the term came to refer to the entire underworld. In some Greek sources, tartarus is another name for Hades, while in others it is a separate realm. Hesiod famously described tartarus as being as far below the underworld as the earth is below the sky.

| Yup, you guessed it, it's my Birthday. The temperature high for the day here in Oregon is 101°. A bit HOT for our neck of the woods. MEET THE BLOGGER >>>Kristen what's the story from the above video? Don and I are taking a Harley ride out on the country Willamette country roads. We are waiting to catch the ferry @ Buena Vista. I consider this one of the grateful pinch me moments with my honey. On our way to a Ankeny Vineyard, the backroads of South Salem Oregon, we got soaked by a farmers irrigation bursting across the road. I love the photography I caught in the rearview mirror. | |

Life - it's a calm sail on some days, and a rough sea on others. And when those stormy days hit, and you're left paddling to stay afloat, remember this: Jesus has braved these waves for YOU. His unwavering presence acts as your anchor, a lighthouse of hope amid calm or chaos.
Welcome, dear friend, to an episode that intersects with an unusual juncture in your week. A juncture marked by joy, obstacles, a sprinkle of confusion and experimentation, and above all, an overflow of love. Today, I bring you a special interaction I had with Jesus. I am always grateful for the universal message that He conveys through these personal encounters.
As we set sail on this episode, let's remind ourselves that solitude is not our fate, whether our journey is smooth or stormy. Amid laughter and hurdles, love guides us, and the steadfast support of Jesus is our rescue vessel. So stay with us, as together we chart the waters of love, resilience, and faith. See you on the inside.

Filled and refreshed by the Spirit of God
Your spirit overflows to your emotions and soul,

Jacob Returns to Bethel
Genesis 35: 1-7 passion translation
1God said to Jacob, “Arise, go at once to Bethel, and settle there. Build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau.”
2So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Get rid of every foreign god you have, purify yourselves, and change your clothes. 3Then come with me; let us go up to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God who answered my prayer when I was in distress and whose presence has been with me wherever I have gone.” 4Then they surrendered all the foreign gods they had as well as their earrings. Jacob buried them under the oak tree near Shechem.
5As they made their way to Bethel, a tremendous fear of God fell upon all the cities around them, and no one dared pursue them. 6Jacob and all the people who were with him arrived in the land of Canaan at Luz, now known as Bethel.
7He built an altar there and named it El-Bethel, because it was the place that God had unveiled himself when Jacob was running from his brother.

Welcome to your personal power, our your sanctuary of growth and inspiration where we transform the hurdles of life into steppingstones towards success today’s topic that thorny beast we’ve all wrestled with at some point in life rejection initials, sting sure but look again. It’s not a dead end it’s a redirection towards a destiny greater than we imagined together will Travers tales of tenacity equip ourselves with tools to rebound. You definitely want to take advantage of the tools in the show notes today and remember, and remember that each note is merely a pitstop on our journey to that triumphant. Yes, let’s dismantle rejection rebuild our resolve and rise, stronger and more resilient than before.
Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” —Francis of Assisi
A few weeks ago, I embarked on a journey, a voyage that led me to this very episode. Aren't we just filled with gratitude for the gift of discernment granted to us by the Lord? This precious endowment equips us with the unique ability to perceive the spiritual realm and thwart the enemy's tactics that disguise themselves in the hearts of our loved ones. In the show notes, you'll find two potent tools. These are the very strategies that have aided me in navigating and comprehending the active role we play in intercession, being seated in heavenly places. As we journey together today, I'll pose a few questions to prompt your thoughts and shape our discourse. Where does rejection originate? Where does it plant its first seed?
Where does rejection start?
Rejection is the feeling of being refused or not accepted, and it can come from many sources:
Rejection can be painful, and neural evidence suggests that it can activate brain regions similar to those associated with physical pain. This may help explain why people report feeling "hurt" when rejected.
Rejection is the feeling of being refused or not accepted, and it can come from many sources:
- Physical contact: Such as being turned down for a hug or kiss
- Words: Such as "no" or "go away"
- Familial: Such as abuse, abandonment, neglect, or withholding love and affection
- Social: Such as bullying, alienation, or rejection from a social group
- Romantic: Such as a breakup or rejection from a romantic partner
- The person who rejected you may be having a difficult time
- They may have interpreted the situation differently than you
- You may want different things
- Childhood experiences, such as critical parents or bullying
- Biological factors and genetics

I am not the richest, smartest or most talented person in the world, but I succeed because I keep going and going and going" —Sylvester Stallone
The Tabernacle Prayer, also known as the Temple Prayer, is a way to pray by imagining you are walking through the tabernacle and its symbolic items. The tabernacle had three sections that represented different things in the New Testament and served as a model for approaching God:
His body nailed to the cross hung there as the document of mankind’s guilt; in dying our death he cancelled the detailed hand-written record which testified against us. Every stain on our conscience, reminding of the sense of failure and guilt, was thus fully blotted out. MIRROR TRANSLATION COLOSSIANS 2:14
- Courtyard: Represents the body
- Holy Place: Represents the mind
- Holy of Holies: Represents the spirit

He told us how much you love us in the spirit; and so we have become inseparably linked to you.
Our constant desire for you is that you might be overwhelmed with the knowledge of God’s dream for your lives. We pray that the pattern of his wisdom and thoughts will fall into place for you in all spiritual understanding.
“To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as you love yourself; this is more important than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.”)
Go on a walkabout tour to explore the extent of the land that is yours under his Lordship.
Now you can conduct yourselves appropriately towards him, pleasing him in every harvest of good works that you bear. Meanwhile, you continue to increase in your intimate acquaintance with that which God knows to be true about you. This results in the most attractive and fulfilled life possible. The knowledge of God is not our perception of Him, but His knowledge of us; to know even as we have always been known. Jer 1:5, 1 Cor 13:12.) Colossians 1:8-10 Mirror

“Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity.” —Herbert Hoover
NOISE <> FREEDOMSometimes, in the span of a week, the answers we seek are already within us.
Do you have the inner strength to start afresh? Are you bold enough to tackle life's hard choices? Will you permit yourself to surrender when the odds stack high? Know this, the answers are already nestled within you. |
And with this belief, we open our hearts to the divine words that the Lord whispers to us repeatedly, "You are worthy. You are cherished. You are a precious gem in my eyes. Your life and your words hold significance. You possess courage that outweighs the sum of your hidden fears.
Victory is your ally, and its name is Jesus."
The calling of a brighter future ignites a fire within us every single day, a fire that shapes that very future. As I grapple with these revelations, I find myself constantly challenged to remain focused.
The single-minded pursuit of my purpose.

For everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labour in freedom.” —Albert Einstein
I've found myself at the base of life's staircase time and time again. But in each restart, I've discovered the silver lining: a fresh perspective. It's like having a new set of ears, keen to soak up wisdom and knowledge in its rawest form. Each time I begin anew, I become an artisan crafting my life with the tools of understanding, wisdom, and experience. How many times can we start over? The answer is as many times as it takes. The beauty of change, the art of metamorphosis, is something I've grown good at. It's become a strength, my secret sauce. I've become an expert at embracing the unfamiliar, the uncharted. I've learned the language of courage, the dialect of bravery.
It can be a lonely journey, especially when those you hold dear struggle to understand your vision. It's a hard truth to swallow. But remember, the vision was gifted to you, not them. It's your journey, your path to tread. Their lack of support doesn't define your success. It's time to turn up the volume on your mission and let your self-belief echo across the valleys of doubt.
Every start and restart, every trial and error, every fall and rise, has led us to this point. The home plate beckons, and we approach it seasoned, not empty-handed. We've had our fair share of misses, our bouts with failure. But we still hold the bat, ready to swing at the balls life pitches our way. So, let's swing for the fences, let's light up the sky with our audacity.
You see, we're not clueless. We've got the tools, the experience, the grit. And most importantly, the chance to start again. It could be on a Monday morning, the first day of a new year, or after a life-altering event. The power to reset, to move forward, resides within us.
So take a moment, lay out your tools, your strengths, your experiences. Separate the wheat from the chaff, the helpful from the unhelpful. Identify your strengths and march forward, armed with the knowledge of what you're good at.
We hold the power to change our today, to shape our tomorrow. And the blueprint? It's etched in our hearts, in our minds. It's a constant workshop of transformation, a never-ending discussion of purpose and priorities. It's a conscious choice of what we say yes to, and a relentless pursuit of what needs to get done.
We're all on a quest to live the life we were meant to live, and I invite you to join me on this journey of transformation and growth.

Let me paint you a picture: Imagine a world where everything just clicks into place. All the pieces of the puzzle - people, animals, the very stuff of the universe - perfectly aligned in harmony, like a beautiful symphony. This isn't just a dream, but the reality that God has restored for us, as stated in Colossians 1:20.
Doesn't that inspire a sense of awe in you?
Now, let's get real. You've been with me on this journey for a while, right? We've had our share of ups and downs, our moments of joy and struggle. We've navigated the tumultuous seas of marriage, family, and financial difficulties together. And through it all, I've shared with you the ways in which God has emboldened me. This week was no exception. In the midst of a trying week, I heard God's voice. He expressed regret for a situation I was facing. Yet, my response was bold: "I don't need your sympathy, I need your confidence. Tell me I can conquer this." That's a powerful statement, isn't it?
I jotted it down because it resonated with me. I want to hear that I can triumph, and I believe you do too. We need those affirmations in our lives, those declarations of victory.
Now, let's bring it back to you. I believe that you're here for a reason, that your heart is open and yearning to learn and grow. Heaven is more than a belief, it's a reality, and its principles are as true as the sky is blue.
And remember, I'm not just preaching to the choir here. I'm also talking to myself. If I serve up wisdom, I'm also digesting it. This week, I hit a wall - the wall of surrender. I felt like giving up.**

No person is your friend (or kin) who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.” —Alice Walker
You've probably met the "giving up" wall before, haven't you? That point where you throw your hands up and say, "I'm done. I can't do this anymore." Trust me, we've all been there. It's a tough spot, but remember, you're not alone. That's the beauty of having an open heart and a community around you.
A few days ago, I hit this wall myself. I was feeling utterly defeated and decided to share my struggle with my closest friends. In doing so, I realized a few key things that I want to share with you.
First, never make a decision when you're overwhelmed by emotions. I've made a pact with myself to never make decisions when I'm in the throes of an emotional storm.
Second, surround yourself with a group of people who truly love you, even in your darkest hours. I have a group of friends who have walked beside me through thick and thin for over a decade now. We've learned to love each other even in the hard times.
I've given these friends permission to speak into my life, and I make it a point to listen. I trust that they are vessels for God's voice. The final key, and this is a big one, is to respond to their words with an open heart.
I've been meditating on a few scriptures that the Holy Spirit highlighted for me this week as I navigated my own struggles. One of my favorites is from Hebrews: "Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vine... yet I will rejoice in the Lord."
This scripture reminds me to find joy in God even when things are not going as planned. Like hiking on a mountain, you need to keep your spirit in the high places and refuse to quit. Remember, we possess a soul that believes against all odds.
I urge you to share this message with those who need to hear it. Remember, God is an all-consuming fire of love. Together, let's echo ABBA, and have a blessed day.

I've given these friends permission to speak into my life, and I make it a point to listen. I trust that they are vessels for God's voice. The final key, and this is a big one, is to respond to their words with an open heart.
I've been meditating on a few scriptures that the Holy Spirit highlighted for me this week as I navigated my own struggles. One of my favorites is from Hebrews: "Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vine... yet I will rejoice in the Lord."
This scripture reminds me to find joy in God even when things are not going as planned. Like hiking on a mountain, you need to keep your spirit in the high places and refuse to quit. Remember, we possess a soul that believes against all odds.
I urge you to share this message with those who need to hear it. Remember, God is an all-consuming fire of love. Together, let's echo ABBA, and have a blessed day.

let’s dive in.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.” — Winston Churchill
We’re going to discuss five different aspects we find in daily courage: courage, strength, God showing up practically and mystically, expecting open doors, moving with what is right there in your hand, now faith and its substance, asking again. Clarity helps with persistence and preparation and hearing perspective. Courage flashes out the intentions of the heart on both sides, all sides. Yes, clarity and flashes it out. And that is our focus for this, to help and encourage each of us that something else is more important. Let’s rescue Franklin Roosevelt: “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear,” and that is our driving force. What is most important? What moves as what is the force which opens the doors that were otherwise shut?
We all have many different challenges in life. You may struggle with relationship difficulties, and you don’t yet know how you and God are going to bridge the gap of that communication. Many of us find ourselves in a season where we are focused on personal care and restoration. It takes great courage to change habits and behaviors. I’m gonna say that again: it takes great courage to change habits and behaviors. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed. If you’re the peacemaker in the home, it’s so easy to get overwhelmed. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed. Hours in your day. I hear you. It is my honor to share with you the little spiritual applications and these little gold nuggets that fortify my daily courage.
| 1. As we navigate through our commitments, we eagerly await God's presence and revelation. Life is akin to a treasure chest... envision a robust, well-traveled chest carried by seasoned sea captains across the world's oceans. In my mind's eye, upon closer inspection, I can discern the word COURAGE etched just beneath the hinge. We can vividly recall the challenging times and the turbulent waters we once doubted we could navigate. Life resembles a treasure trove abundant in courage and grace. God takes pleasure in unveiling this chest of treasures to our loved ones, acquaintances, and the intriguing individuals we encounter on our journey, amen. Let's pause for a moment to envision this treasure chest... it bears the marks of extensive travels. |  |
OUR PRAYER
Let's Pray
Father, I thank you that you are the perfecter of that which concerns each one of us.
We lift our concerns corporately before you.
Father I ask today for special grace to flow for each and every listener
We all need to feel like You hear us...
We all need to perceive strength being built up on the inside of us.
Father open our eyes to see a different perspective
Grace switch the lens we are comfortable looking out of and replace it with a deeper understanding of love.
Holy Spirit touch us with tangible joy, peace and persistence
Jesus we listen knowing the full measure of forgiveness that has already been accomplished on our behalf. In that listening, we have come to know and believe the love that God is unveiled within us. God is love. Love is who God is; we live in this place of conscious, constant love, and live immersed in God and to feel perfectly at home in his indwelling. that is You and I. We are Gods home address.
unveil the truth that our lives are hungry to see, hear and know.
amen.

- Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.” — Franklin D. Roosevelt
What are the current areas of that you find yourself walking through?
Think about the promises that God has placed on the inside of you and what that promise is and the story about that promise that is so intimate, a story, a personal growth story of tremendous courage.
1. When we are walking right in the middle of a promise, you and I are looking for God to reveal himself, to show himself. Life is like a treasure chest. Imagine that bulky world travel, captain's treasure chest, which carries precious belongings around the oceans of the world, and in my mind, if I were to look real close, I can see the word COURAGE carved out just under the hinge. We can remember clearly that season of trial and the waters we never thought we could get through let alone cross. Life is a treasure chest, we know is full of courage, grace and He delights opening that treasure chest in front of our family, friends, and the people we meet along the way. Amen. Let’s take a moment to imagine that treasure chest.
2. We God to open doors along our journey. I thoroughly expect Holy Spirit to use my sailboat journey as a metaphor in the areas of your life. Amen.

Do you know what the number of people who carry that active revelation of transformation, let alone lead and minister, is about 3% of the evangelical population?
You, my friend, are a force of heaven. You didn’t just arrive at this podcast without having walked through your share of religious mindset difficulties.
You are COURAGEOUS
a mover into the revelations of His kingdom, into the Kingdom of HIs love.

6 Keys of perspective MINDFULNESS |
- Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy." ― Dale Carnegie
Metaphysics might include the study of the nature of the human mind, the definition and meaning of existence, or the nature of space, time, and/or causality.
metaphysics, Branch of philosophy that studies the ultimate structure and constitution of reality—i.e., of that which is real, insofar as it is real. The term, which means literally “what comes after physics,” was used to refer to the treatise by Aristotle on what he himself called “first philosophy.” In the history of Western philosophy, metaphysics has been understood in various ways: as an inquiry into what basic categories of things there are (e.g., the mental and the physical); as the study of reality, as opposed to appearance; as the study of the world as a whole; and as a theory of first principles. Some basic problems in the history of metaphysics are the problem of universals—i.e., the problem of the nature of universals and their relation to so-called particulars;
the existence of God; the mind-body problem; and the problem of the nature of material, or external, objects. Credit Britannica Read the article

Scripture Treasure ~ Stand Firm
|
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go" Joshua 1:9
"Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!" Psalm 31:24 "Stand firm, and you will win life" Luke 21:19
Stand firm with patient endurance and you will find your souls’ deliverance.” Passion Translation (Grace will not leave your head) Blessed is the one who does not lose their footing when temptation strikes; they are crowned the victor; their lives prove the currency and character of their design. The verdict: No contradiction can distract from the love of the Lord.
(Love inspires faith. [Galatians 5:6] The word, 1stephanos, means a mark of royal rank, or a wreath or garland, which was given as a prize to victors in public games. Yet life as God sees it is a gift, not a reward. [James 1:17-25] Thus even our reward is a gift because our enduring and steadfastness is not something we engage in with our diligence and willpower, but the energy ignited within us by the revelation of the Word of truth.) James 1:12 Mirror OPEN DOORS: Talking about our co-seatedness, I want you to see something. Oh wow. What I see takes my breath away. A wide-open door in the heavenly realm. The first thing I heard was this voice addressing me. It was distinct and clear, like the sound of a trumpet; it captured my attention, inviting me to enter. ”Come up here and I will show you how everything 3coincides with what you have already seen.” Revelations 4:1 Mirror
|
Now, without the pressure of pretense, you are free to give expression to your individual self and not some phony life you’re trying to fake. Evaluate your own conduct in such a way that you do not need another’s approval to confirm your joy.
Everyone ultimately lives their own life. (Even though we share our lives with one another.)
Both student and teacher draw from the same source; they equally participate in every good thing. The word they share echoes its distinct resonance within them.
Show-business does not deceive God. Do not be led astray and then pull your nose up at God, as if it was God who let you down. The harvest always reveals the seed.
The flesh cannot compete with the spirit; just like with Adam, the fruit of the DIY tree still produces death, while faith produces the spirit fruit of the life of the ages, the God-kind of life.
