Gifts from God

Lately I can feel God more than ever directing my path, pointing me to where I need to go, showing me the book I need to read, the person to talk to, the friend to do a little something for, giving me wisdom, strength, and love.  I’m so thankful for Him, he heals my heart [...]

Energy Healing

I am exploring the concept of energy healing.   I feel very drawn and called to healing right now, and I have no idea what direction I am headed in, although it all feels like it fits together with the other skills that I know I have.  Energy healing in particular has become an area of [...]

A Poem

Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy.

Trusting God

I’ve decided to add a page (well it’s already 2 pages) to my commonplace book that I will use to write the things that are bothering me that I am committing to turn over to God and trust God with. By writing them, I can make sure I don’t take them back.
