In step

During a recent retreat, “Dance of Healing” I was reminded how important it is to keep in step with the Holy Spirit.

Connecting with my occupation as a teacher, I realize that there are joyous consequences to keeping in step with assignments and dire consequences to not keeping in step. For instance, sometimes I have students who come to me explaining the reasons why they didn’t turn in an assignment on time. They had been given every detail of the assignment and the due date. Yet when the due date came, they had nothing to turn in. As a result they received a failing mark. Those who turned in their assignment with attention to every detail and on time received a grade of excellent.

As far as being a Christian, I find we are back in school facing similar situations. The teacher, The Holy Spirit, speaks to us giving us the details and the due date. Sometimes we Continue reading “In step”

Dormancy-“The Dance of Healing”

Dormancy from “The Dance of Healing.” by Sara

A note from my Journal “Farming ‘Spiritual’ Retreat ’06:

In reviewing my notes I realized I had been suffering from emotional trauma. I feel I am healed in these areas after our retreat and the love I received.

In the process of cultivating inner beauty I understand we are told, your outside must line up with your inside,,,but I found if your inside has more of you than Christ, that’s what shows up and its’ awful not awesome’. You may think its not a good thing, but I’ve found it is especially if your working to change things, you need to know and see what kind of weed needs to be removed or what kind of seed needs to be planted…and there is shock ,there is trauma when you get a real look at you in you instead of Christ in You…I know this for myself….I looked up shock it means=a violent shock or jar….and trauma means= an injuContinue reading “Dormancy-“The Dance of Healing””

Burdened?

I think it would be selfish on my part, not to share with the
world…after such a marvelous retreat! I thank God for all that He has
done..and going to do!

Burdened?

It doesn’t take a “rocket scientist” to figure out that with today’s hectic
lifestyles, it’s easy to allow satan to bombard us with heavy burdens. If we
took the time to slow down, and…”Be still and know that I am God.”(Ps.
46:10),and remember..(Matt. 11:28-30) “Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of
you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my
yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart,
and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the
burden I give you is light.” How AWESOME is this? He wants to make our
burdens light, if we will come to Him.Continue reading “Burdened?”

Clean Sheet Day

“It’s clean sheet day,” echoes my Mom from my memory banks. My Mom would
carefully hang the sheets one by one on the clothesline located close by
our rural white, shingled farmhouse. The post, which held the lines
looked, liked a row of white crosses holding up their prized possessions.
Mom especially loved the wind to blow at the same time as the sheets were
being hung as the wind would soften and unwrinkled the sheets. The sun
would kiss the sheets baking in its rays until a sweet fragrance emanated,
which was deliciously savored by the person resting from their day’s
journey.

I am reminded that in my own spiritual life that it is a joy to have a
clean sheet day. With all the talk about aromatherapy, this kind is the
most desirous. Once we have taken all our sins to God, holding nothing
back, God washes them all away. Just like sheets, theContinue reading “Clean Sheet Day”

Light another’s Candle

Mathew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

This passage of scriptures seems to challenge my whole being. My Light to shine so others can see my good works and from my good works glorify my heavenly Father.

OK, what good works have I accomplished today that someone said WOW, God is so amazing and I just want to stand and sing praises unto His name. He is so good because of something you just did that I want to accept Him as my Lord and Savior. He is so good from your good works that I want to serve Him on the mission field. He is so good in your works that I want to go into ministry and make that my life’s calling. Whatever!!!!!

Most of us when someone makes a comment about something nice we have just done will say something so odd it hurts. For instance, you may say? You are so good Continue reading “Light another’s Candle”
