Recognize that you...

... are a human being.


notes...

'Why do we get burnt out?
Sin, work, relationships...
something causes it.

We have the wrong view of the gospel.

The Christian life is not a formula to follow.
It is a relationship.

A wrong view of maturity.
Maturity is realizing that you cannot change yourself.

Responsibility is to rely on Him.

Depend on Him every day for every thing.

He never intended for us to change or improve ourselves.

You'll never learn enough.
Get smart enough or
strong enough.

He didn't make us to be sufficient within ourselves.
He made us to be sufficient with Him.

When you tap into His source
you're not going to give out.

Sometimes to be burned out can be the doorway
into life's greatest lessons.

He just stepped off and began to soar...
he just opened his wings and sailed.
He wasn't flopping and just beating the air trying to go anywhere,
He just sail-soared, up, up, up....

the current just took him
he just lifted his wings.

He is the wind under your wings and mine.

Soar around enjoying your life.'

be well...

Prayer:

Lord, my life is in your hands.
Lead me forward in Your absolute wisdom and love.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

Choosing to move....


....with the flow of life doesn't mean you won't experience
pain, hurt, anxiety, anger & loss.
'It means you don't let it paralyze you & rob
you of the opportunity for new life experiences
& a new purpose.'


'When you choose to move with the flow of life,
you are trusting that God has purpose in the things 
that come to, and depart from your life.
You will find a greater part of yourself
that has yet to be revealed.
When you refuse to travel with the flow
you may find that you can no longer enjoy what used to bring you pleasure.
You become dissatisfied with the things that used to bring contentment.
It feels as if God has stirred up what once brought you assurance & peace.'

'Life has many wonderful opportunities that do not come to you
by knowledge or planning on your part.
You must learn to go with the flow
to move on.'

(phrases from: T.D. Jakes)

notes....

standing at a crossroads...
a wrong choice could cost me years...
a right one could change everything.
Sensing I've been at this crossroads before,
another trip back to the same place.
Trusting there's a clear way for me to move forward...
and that God will move Heaven and earth to make it clear...

~

emotional health & sanity
are found in healthy relationships
with God
yourself
and others

how you do life
interact
and connect
all contribute 

you need those you can count on
in difficulties and challenges

you need quality relationships

your relationship with each other
is how you learn to grow in God the most
where you can work on your own issues,
 be flawed and vulnerable yet still feel safe
while connecting

the power of being heard is way more powerful than
any advice
they know you are in process 
they carry a grounded-ness 
and you gain a breath of fresh spiritual air
to go out there a face life with a new step

"We cannot do life completely alone."

find those who can walk a safe and empowering 
journey with you

~

'Bask in the luxury of being fully understood
and unconditionally loved.
Try to depend on the help on My Spirit as you go 
through your day.
Pause briefly & consult with Me.
I will guide you as you give Me space in your life.
Walk along this wonderous way & collaborate with Me.
Your life will gradually become brighter & more
beautiful as I enter, and you become more 
who I created you to be.
Don't miss this beautiful picture.
I love you.
Let Me minister to you.
Release your burdens to Me.
Trust Me to liberate you from any debilitating emotions.
I don't want you to continue wondering if your are in
 or you are out.
I value and love you simply as you are
 scars and all.'
~Jesus~

"Life is easier & more enjoyable when we allow it to flow.
Resistance blocks the flow in our lives.
When we resist, what is meant to leave stays and what is
meant to arrive is blocked. 
Notice any areas where you may feel resistant or stuck.
Visualize removing that block and letting the good flow
in and the bad flow out. Become open by releasing the need to 
control. Allow wonderful things to come to you."

Joy is a muscle...



....you possess,
but it needs to be exercised and broken out 
of atrophy.


notes...

woke up and leapt out of bed
played with Polly, put the kettle on
and turned on the twinkles...
meditated....prayed...
moments later continuing circumstances
come in with a mission to steal my joy..
 I turn to prayer...breathe...ground...
 feel the nudge to experience enjoyment
did a weird pivot
 turned on the music 
and danced

~

joy requires a lot of intentionality
effort & learning

you are not taught what joy is

Biblical words that paint a picture of joy:
delight
gladness
pleasure
rejoicing
happy

protect yourself from the seriousness
and negativity that seek to infiltrate your mind constantly

guard your joy

'joy is a fruit of the Spirit
a birthright for every believer'

joy is inside of you
but like anything else
it needs to be activated

you need daily intentional experiences
that enhance the joy that lives within you

you need reteaching & new experiences
to restore the innocence of pure joy in your life

discover the simple things that help you revive what it means
to enjoy again

learn to be present in every moment

break out of your comfort zone of mediocrity
to see the greater joy that is possible

your heart is malnourished

~

'As you sit quietly in My Presence your awareness of 
My life within you is heightened.
I fill you with Joy & Peace as you trust Me.
Do your best with the energy I so graciously give you.
I have called you to live right and well.
I take responsibility for you & keep you safe.
I am your intimate Friend and the lover of your soul.
Enjoy My loving Presence more and more.
The dark moments of your life will last only
so long as is necessary for Me to accomplish 
My purpose in it.
Remember My timing is perfect.
Bring every battle to Me &
remember with Me, real strength looks different.
Fight the battles on your knees.
Always remember I love you!
Worship Me joyously.'
~Jesus~

yesterdays sorrows,
you will have much more room for today's joy's"

before you decide to enjoy your life."

You will tolerate...

....everything in life
at the level to which you have received 
the power of God's Love.


symbol of transformation, rebirth, and the soul

notes...

"He revives my drooping head;
my cup brims with blessings..."
Psalm 23:5 MSG
truth with a little hint of humor
I love it!
I shudder to think what my life ( or anybody's)
would be like without God...

 just the thought alone triggers my anxiety...
~

"You are usually one powerful decision
away from everything changing."

you need love to empower your heart

believe in the greater potential

connect to reality

your responsible to make decisions 
that align with love

the power of decision is solely in your hands

it's not about earning & deserving;
it's about believing & receiving

your not alone in your difficulties & worries
God will meet you where you are

read scripture
absorb it into your life
discover the answers you need

position yourself for God's continuing instruction

impatience or rushing into a solution of your own making
can hinder His plan

Trust His awesome timing & allow Him to do 
His essential work in you & your circumstances
He will certainly do beyond all you imagine

you have to give up some things you've come to depend on
your being nurtured back to spiritual health

you weren't created to find your worth by comparing 
yourself to other people

it takes time to get used to God's way of Love

Stick with love long enough,
you will find it's gifts

~

'Bask in the grace of My love.
Believe in yourself. I have put inside of you 
every thing that you need to overcome.
I believe in who I made you to be.
Come into agreement with that faith perspective.
Love yourself as I love you.
Lack of love kills your belief system.
When you love yourself enough to see that
you are worth being loved,
then you will make the decisions you need to.
I believe in you.
You have what it takes to overcome & prevail.
The decision is yours.
Experience My love.'
~Jesus~
