How to Clear Congestion of the Mind

Used to be when I skied my chest and head cold would clear like the parting clouds of a storm. Sun would enter into my heart through my eyes, and fresh air would invade my lungs thanks to the cold, fresh, thin air. The exhilaration of a mogul run would spring my body into action and into healing. By day's end my cold would almost be gone!
No doctor would prescribe that. I broke the rules and it worked.
So how, today, can I apply that to the congestion of my mind...a mind that needs to kick in to creativity...to write...to solve problems...to relate to people? What rules can I break that don't make sense, but ultimately will bring me into new clarity? Rather than sit at my blank screen, today I will play my guitar, paint a picture, run instead of walk, call a crazy friend, read good fiction, and dance in the living room. 
I'll dance and laugh at writing rules until that inkling of brightness breaks open in my line of vision and inspiration explodes.

Psalm 45:1 - "Like a river bursting its banks, I'm overflowing with words, spilling out into the sacred story." (The Passion Translation)

"Grace" for Healing

Do you ever beg and plead with God for help, feeling sorry for yourself and wondering why He won't answer? I didn't know how desperate I was getting until recently a horse named Grace corrected me and set me on a new course of partnering with God instead of begging. I now understand how God wants to join us in a journey toward answering our prayers.

It's not always about Him giving to me (although He does this too), but also about Him teaching me to trust and work with Him. Once I started changing the way I think about this - healing came astonishingly fast. I'm talking healing of something I have suffered with since a baby.

Oh my. I'm just sharing because I'm hoping this might help someone else out there.

If we're not getting answers - perhaps we need to change the questions.

Could this help with other things I have prayed a long time for? What if He is waiting for us to trust Him, to let him take our hand, and to let Him step with us into the answers.

Yes - I got all this wisdom through His grace toward me...and a sweet Rocky Mountain Horse named Grace.

John 1:16 - And now out of his fullness we are fulfilled! And from him we receive grace heaped upon more grace!

Tell Your Story; Change the World!

Our soul and spirit, like our physical body, are uniquely designed to heal from trauma, crisis, and disappointment. 

Everything within me points to hope when I'm at my lowest. I cannot help it. I have to yield to it. That's why I write. I have to tell the stories of faith triumphing over situations that would want to leave me hopeless and defeated. Light invades darkness. Faith, truth, life, and hope overcome hopelessness, lies, doubt, and death. For me, writing makes sense of the senseless. It brings healing to my heart, and, I pray, to the hearts of my readers. Our stories of His goodness are what we can offer to a world seeking light in the darkness. We must tell our stories bravely. They will change lives.

Luke 19:40 -  "I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."
Romans 8:19 - The creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
Romans 8:37 - We are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

April 27 - A Good Day For A Healing Miracle!

Today, step into your healing. God is powerfully present to heal you – physically, and inside, too! Ask him. Find someone to pray with you in the name of Jesus the Healer.

Luke 5:12 - 13: One day while Jesus was ministering in a certain city, He came upon a man covered with leprous sores. When the man realized it was Jesus, he fell on his face at Jesus' feet and begged to be healed, saying, "If You are only willing, You could completely heal me!" Then Jesus reached out and touched him and said to him, "Of course I am willing to heal you, and now you will be healed!" Instantly the leprous sores were healed and his skin smooth!

My prayer for you, my reader! Be healed in Jesus' Name!!! Amen!

April 1 - It's A Healing Day

Step into new health today. There is an anointing for healing.

Acts 19:11-12 - God did powerful things through Paul, things quite out of the ordinary. The word got around and people started taking pieces of clothing - handkerchiefs and scarves and the like - that had touched Paul's skin and then touching the sick with them. The touch did it - they were healed and whole. (The Message)

(Just as the story about Paul above, I pray today that as you see and read this post written especially for you that you, too, are healed in whatever way you need it!)

October 12 - Divine Health

Just as there is divine order in nature, there is divine order in your body. Your body is meant to be perfect on Earth as it is in Heaven. We can declare that order over ourselves and others. Some call it divine alignment. I pray this for my readers today, that you will experience healing and order in your physical body in Jesus' Name!

John 3:1-2 - Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.
