DO you Flicker??

Posted on April 23, 2013 by Sandra Wallace

Are you the only flicker of light in a dark home, office, factory or school? A teacher, a student? Do you remember that in ANY dark space, just a “spit” of light, will light the whole room. IS THAT YOUR JOB? When you carry the Holy Spirit inside you, YOU ARE that light! How can you make the flame grow, so that people around you become aware of “something different” about YOU? IS there something “different” about you? YOUR JOB IS TO SHINE! NO MATTER WHERE you work!

John 1:5 “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
What does it mean that: “… the darkness comprehended it not.” The dark can NOT stop even a flick of a light. No matter HOW dark a room is or even if you could pump MORE dark into a room-that even ONE small existence of a speck of light will shine!

To me? This is exciting! Because, I’m not a good witness of Jesus Christ. I’m not one of the people who can go up and talk to someone about salvation face to face and within 20 minutes they have led someone to Christ. I’ve NEVER been good at that. I’ve led my children to him, but I don’t know of one stranger that I have.

I think that MY calling is: mechanic. I love to work on, encourage God’s people to go out and do what I don’t have the talent to do. I love for them to feel better physically. I love for them to feel encouraged and feel better emotionally, too!

What is your “talent”? Is it to encourage? Share oils? Sing? Home school your children? Or just keep your little light shining in a bad environment at a plant job? Or in an office where everyone is gossiping/back-biting? In the restaurant ?

Maybe, IF we start asking ourselves the question: WHY am I working with these people? WHY am I stuck in this plant job? WHY does that person GRATE on my nerves? Could it be that you are the ONLY little “spit” of light in that office? In that plant? In your classroom?

Do you know that the act of praying will raise the MHz by 15 in the human body? So, if you are saved, and you walk into a dark, dark place, do you not think that physically, you’re going to carry in a little extra wattage into that place?

“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” (Emphasis mine)!
Matthew 5:14-16 (KJV)

So examine yourself…are you giving off ANY light? Am I giving off ANY light?

Let’s purpose in our hearts, that starting today, that we will let that light just “glow” from us to all around us. Let other’s elbow one another and ask in a whisper, “There’s something “different” about her or him….WHAT is IT?”

Can others distinguish you out of a crowd just by your good attitude? By the glow on your face? By your encouraging words? By your optimism all based on your faith in God?
(I love my job! )

YOU HURT MY FEELINGS!

Posted on March 18, 2013 by Sandra Wallace

I’ve had someone in my life,who has hurt my feelings on a regular basis. I’m sure that most of the time, they had no clue-but it would ‘grate’ on my nerves to NO END! Then I would end up seething on the inside. There’s nothing wrong with “seething” is it? Let’s look at the definition of the word “seething” :
Verb
1. (of a liquid) Bubble up as a result of being boiled: “the brew foamed and seethed”.
2. (of a river or the sea) Foam as if it were boiling; be turbulent.

A pretty powerful word! A very powerful emotion! Have you stopped and thought about what kind of effect that will have on your body or mind of you drank a cup of something seething or boiling or turbulent? Well, I have done this several times in my life! I know others around me who have, too?

Consider the fact, that if you have digestive trouble (including the liver, gallbladder & stomach) going on in your body, that it could be from “an event or shock that was undigestible” to you! STOP and ask yourself if you’re angry at someone or holding a grudge –and granted! You could have carried it so long you never realized that you were still angry at them! OR – at one point in time did you get so angry that you got sick to your stomach?
This isn’t something fun to stop and concentrate on! Although, if we can recognize who that boiling cup of turbulent emotion was drank for….that is the first step in healing!

Mark 11:25
And when ye stand praying ,forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

(Now, I am talking about forgiving-but I don’t mean when someone has been seriously hurt, raped, abused and damaged to the point that you don’t need to ever be around those people again. It’s OK NOT to be around them! Our goal is to be able to recognize and forgive in your own heart in order to be healthy.

Realize, that God will take care of those people in His own way. That it isn’t our job to “fix” them. That we’re SURE WE are doing what is right. Are you holding a grudge? Are you feeling spiteful toward that person. Are you being prideful in thinking that you’re better than them since YOU didn’t hurt them first? (This was a hard one for me!)

This picture is how I feel INSIDE when I’ve been hurt!!

Ecclesiastes 7:21 Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken ; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee: 22 For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.

Yeah. You know we’ve done it! I HAVE!

So, we need to put it in perspective. We have hurt others. They have hurt us. Now, we just have to back off and realize it isn’t our job to fix them. It’s God’s.

Release the anger, and allow God to do His job.he gave us that instruction for a reason! And after you do that, recognize how much lighter you feel. Less depressed. How much pressure is off your bowels and stomach. And even though you can’t see it? Your brain has actually changed its physical chemistry to the better. Yep! Scientifically proven!

Assignment for today: Take inventory. Clean house in our emotions and body. And if you need help after prayer and study. Check out the essential oils below to help you through this process. They have helped me A LOT! (AND it’s OK to need some extra help.)

Start your Babies out Right!

Posted on February 28, 2013 by Sandra Wallace

I have had so many mothers lately ask the question, “Are essential oils safe to use on my baby?” I think this is a very WISE question! Although, I believe we’ve been lulled to the belief that if it’s sold in the store it MUST be safe for us! The FDA approved it!

So, I write this blog to give you MORE questions to ask yourself when you’re shopping.
“Chemicals have replaced bacteria and viruses as the main threat to health. The diseases we are beginning to see as the major causes of death in the latter part of (the 1900′s) and into the 21st century are diseases of chemical origin.”
Dr. Dick Irwin, Toxicologist, Texas A&M University*
Have you considered your dishwasher detergent? What kind of chemical residue is left on your dishes when the load is done? OR your baby oil? Did you know that most of the regularly used baby oil of “my time” was petro chemicals? How about your air freshener? Chemicals with a mock aroma! OR your bathroom cleaner? To me that’s a BIG one! Because how do we know that we got all of it rinsed out of the tub before we put the kids in for a bath?

A quote from the Less Toxic Guide: “ It is very important to try to limit a baby’s exposure to harmful chemicals. Children are more vulnerable to the effects of toxic chemicals than adults. Their immune systems and central nervous system are immature and still developing, which means their bodies are generally less capable of eliminating toxins. As well, children have roughly double the skin surface of adults per unit of body weight, so a child can absorb proportionally more chemicals. Babies and children breathe more air per body weight than adults do, which increases their exposure by inhalation. Decreasing a child’s exposure to chemicals from day one, and even in the womb, could mean a lower risk of allergies and chemical sensitivities, and lower risk of cancers and other illnesses.”

SO what do we do? One step toward better living today. ONE THING. Choose to change the baby’s personal care products could be the first. Try using an organic coconut oil with a few drops of Gentle Babies essential oil added to it.

Clean your bathroom/their tub with Thieves blend added to water OR YL’s Lemon oil instead of bleach/cleaners.
Anti-bacterial everything isn’t necessary. Our bodies NEED to fight some bacteria in order to stay in practice for a bigger fight. So use the Thieves hand soap or YL’s bar soap. Dr. Bronner’s oil soap with your favorite oils added for your smelling/health building “flavors”!

Another great way to help rid chemicals from your home is diffuse essential oils A great and easy way to purify your homes air. Another study quoted that the air in our homes are more polluted that the air outside! BUT keep in mind that Young Living’s oils are so carefully removed from the plant that their molecules can enter into every cell of the body within minutes, giving you the health benefits that most other oils can’t provide.
There are tons of recipes out there. Just research and make your goal 2 changes a month. That will be 24 less chemical sources a year for your family!
Don’t be afraid of essential oils. Do a little research and find out what needs to be diluted and what doesn’t on sensitive skin.
Here’s a good place to start with your research recipes! http://www.lesstoxicguide.ca/index.asp?

And here’s a good place to start with essential oils!

What if we’re not called Bless-ed?

Posted on February 12, 2013 by Sandra Wallace

Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise up , and call her blessed ; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

I believe that this is what every one of us, as women, really want for our lives and our families. This is what we think we receive if we only trust The Lord & do what we think is right according to His Word. But it always doesn’t happen like WE want it to happen. There are other people involved & and they just don’t see things like we do!

What happens if my husband doesn’t praise me for what I’m struggling to do? What if he & I aren’t “as one”? What if there’s discord between he and I? What if we’re like oil and water and he just doesn’t seem to like me? It can happen, even in Christian homes! I’ve heard of it many times & know of someone like that right now. That’s what got me thinking about this subject, because there isn’t much out there for homeschooling moms or Christian women in general, who have the heart for Christ, who are fighting to keep a marriage together…seemingly….alone.

Here at Valentine’s Day it’s especially hard, if you watch any TV and see all the romantic glimpses. Smiles, hugs, kisses….gifts…Seems so perfect. So you start thinking…”everyone like that is normal….” but the truth is, a lot of women deal with this and women who crave being the kind of wife and mother portrayed in the Proberbs 31 just do not want to spread the news that things aren’t right! Someone might think they’re not thankful or not submissive enough! NOT always the case.

The wonderful news is: You’re going to live. You’re going to get through this! Christ is there for you. Think of it this way: if things were perfect & happy & and kissy & wonderful….would I be paying The Lord as much attention right now? Would I be craving for his peace & love without this trial? Turn this to your profit. Use this time to take a view of Jesus in a different light.

1. Read the Song of Solomon from the point of The Lord being your husband.

2. When you’re lonely, ask The Lord to give you a hug & hold you.

3.Ask Him to remind you how much HE loves you & to give you comfort. Contentment right where you are.

A woman grieves a relationship like a death-but it’s sometimes harder for a woman who’s husband is alive but not spiritually connected — for whatever reason, because the man she’s in love with is right there in her sight. She’s reminded over and over that things aren’t right. It’s the same as an amputation of a limb. The one she desires to desire her, doesn’t. Therefore, half of you has been “cut off”. The pain is excruciating, but bearable. You have The Lord.

Just remember, that Psalm 18:2 “The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.” Always wanted a knight in shining armor??? Well, here HE is!

Song of Solomon 3:1″ By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.”–but we will always find The Lord. He will ALWAYS be there for us.

Be blessed…

What happens when it goes all wrong?

Posted on February 1, 2013 by Sandra Wallace

The Bible promises this to you and me!

This is what we, as Christian parents, rely on in times of trouble and trials with our children. I always had this illusion that if I taught my children the difference between right and wrong based on Biblical principle, that everything would turn out just like “Little Mary on the Prarie”! So what happens when Little Mary decides to go her own way? Can she/he do that? Can they rebel and just not follow the rules? And now that they’re older, they’re STILL not back in the fold? I thought they would return to it? They haven’t! What then?

Well, we have to put it in perspective. No.#1: Life just ain’t simple. When you look back all through the Bible, life just wasn’t simple there either. It has twists and turns and we just wasn’t made with the ability to see around corners.

No.#2 “…when he is old he will not depart from it” How old is old? I’m at a stage in my life that my mama & daddy are already gone to be with The Lord. I often think about CHOICES that I made that I wish I hadn’t. So, how old will your child or mine be when they realize the error of their ways? I have to face it, I’ll probably be gone when one of mine comes to realize they really messed up and will have to answer for their consequences.

Yes, I’ve homeschooled for about 25 years now. When one chooses to go their own way it breaks your heart. You feel as if you’ve poured your heart and soul into that child! You start questioning: what could I have done differently? What did I do wrong? What if I would have said this? What IF I wouldn’t have said that? I MUST be a failure as a mother! Everyone knows what they’re doing! From the outside, to the world, we look like terrible parents!

Well, when one goes their own way, we have to accept it-when they’re old enough. There is a point and time that we have to relinquish our “ownership” of that child back to God. He allowed up to borrow them anyway. We have to realize that their life is not MY life at some point. They made THEIR choice. In our culture, it’s “vogue” to blame the parents! You didn’t make them happy! You have to go along with whatever your child wants to do to show you love them! (A blog to follow on that one!) Not be responsible for their own choices. But we as Christians, HAVE to take responsibility for our choices. And that includes us as well as our children.

And then we have to trust our Lord. He’s either our Lord or not. Can’t be “sorta”. We have to pray, “Yes Lord. I acknowlege that I didn’t do everything right and I have to answer for that, but I did what I thought was right in Your sight & and doesn’t seem to have turned out so well. I’m so happy you’re MY LORD. You can turn anything bad into good.” Then trust.

A guilty, beatdown, low esteem person CANNOT work for The Lord. A woman whose children haven’t turned out like we expected and it “defeats” us-is useless to Him. Others see your faith as being something that can’t hold you up. You have to get up and get back to work and let God lead that child. Stop carrying that guilt and luggage.

Psalm 37: 23 The steps of a good man (your name) are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

27:24 Though he (your name) fall, (your name) he shall not be utterly cast down: for The Lord upholdeth (your name) him with his hand.

Fight the good fight!

I sure hope this helps someone!

I’m not a Member of the Club!

Posted on January 30, 2013 by Sandra Wallace

I’ve been homeschooling for about 25 years now. Yep! I’ve had 6 living children and have homeschooled all of them their whole lives with the exception of 1 1/2 years with the first. (It took me that long to wise up!)

We’ve made our main living by being poultry farmers the 30 years we’ve been married. A big part of that time we had two which will equal approx. 19,000 birds a flock. They are layers. At peak production they lay about 7100 to 7500 eggs EACH house EACH day.

I’ve also been called to be a Natural Healthcare Practitioner. People don’t get sick on a schedule!

That is the beginning of my story.

I haven’t been able to home school my children like a lot of other families have. Most families, that I know of, have a set day of: from this hour to this hour. They try to do everything exactly like the public schools do. In my reality, I may get in an hour and have to run to the chicken house to help repair a feeder. Or meet the serviceman. (We’re sub-contractors in our business.)

Being farmers, we used to have my mother-in-law’s cows to take care of. To make sure they’re doing good laboring a new calf or that no one was sick and needed help. Cutting, raking, bailing hay in the spring and summer. Hauling round bails of hay in the winter even in ice storms.

I’m telling you all of this to describe a little of the responsibility of being a farmer. Zip your mind right back to homeschooling. I wasn’t able to take my kids to a lot of organized trips with other homeschoolers. We didn’t get to take a lot of field trips. Wasn’t any educational vacations involved there either. We couldn’t afford the expensive totorial programs that had videos of live traditional teaching.

We’ve used LIFE, workbooks, church and WORK!

I’ve said all of this to tell you: my children can read! My children can write! My children can work! I had one to buy her own home at age of 20! Another one went to massage therapy school and became certified in Neuromuscular Therapy. A 16 year old wanting to start college classes in the fall. The last two still being molded. I’ve been told that my children are some of the best behaved and polite children they’ve met.

I am NOT telling you this to brag. NO WAY!

My children (as myself) sin. They make poor choices sometimes. They’re way from perfect. But I think we’ve built a good firm foundation. I’ve always said that if I can raise children that have some character and sincerity. Then we’ve given them the advantage that a lot of children don’t get with a “perfect” education.

I’m telling you this to let you know: you may have struggled to get it done. Made lots of mistakes! Didn’t have the funds you needed to do it like you would have liked. Had to take care of elderly parents. Maybe, at times, wondered what in the WORLD AM I DOING?! But, it all works out. Life goes on. We’re going to be alright.

So, don’t look down on any family who doesn’t home school “right”. Also, be gentle to those who would have loved to home school and can’t because of uncontrollable circumstances. Those who had NO CHOICE but to send their children to public schools.God gave those children to you to raise. If you’re heart is right and you’re doing your best in God’s will, HE will bless it. Do NOT spend time feeling guilty if you didn’t accomplish your schooling exactly like you want! IF you’re wasting time doing that, then you’re not working on what you need to be working on! You’re useless to help anyone if you’re busy feeling guilty.

So, ask God to help your children make the best of what they were blessed with! YOU! IF they can read, write and be independent with a strong foundation of wrong and right? Trust The Lord. Do your absolute best. Keep your chin up. “Fight the good fight!”

It’s all going to work out.

Are you Grieving?

Posted on January 21, 2013 by Sandra Wallace

Have you ever wondered what that heavy, joy-squashing feeling in your body REALLY is? Is there a need to sleep more than usual? Don’t feel like putting one foot in front of the other? Don’t want to wake up in the morning? Don’t want to do your job…like LIVE? OR can’t sleep at all?

I miss my mama. I miss my daddy. I miss the way that I used to not worry about taking care of everyone that I’m responsible for. I miss summer days when I could just go lie out in the sunshine and stare up at the clouds at the sky and dream… Didn’t worry about the bills, or who was getting educated. Where the next meal is coming from or who would fix it & what it would be! (I could go on and on)… Remember those days? (Loooonnnngggg time ago for me! lol)

Ecclesiastes 3:3-8 (3)” To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven”…and then there’s a beautiful list that follows. I love this and haven’t read it in a long time. But, when you do read it, it emphasizes that there is a time. Pretty much a time to experience anything that we experience in life. If you look in V.4 it quotes, ” A time to weep, and a time to laugh: a time to mourn, and a time to dance:” The only problem here is…when we get stuck in the weeping and mourning. How do we get out of the loop?!

I’ve come to the conclusion, as have some others, that to recognize what that heavy feeling is all about does help. Stop, be still and ask yourself , ” WHERE is this feeling coming from? WHAT can I think about that makes that feeling come to the surface.” What do I hear or smell that brings that feeling to the surface again? That seemed to help me so much. Just to RECOGNIZE what that feeling was exactly and where it was coming from. Just that seemed to lift a lot of the weight off me.

*Grief synonyms are: sorrow – sadness – distress – woe – affliction – pain. DEEP unrest. The state or fact of being bereaved or deprived of something or someone.

Notice above that it lists pain. Could that mean physical pain? A resounding YES! Yes it does!!

The systems that are connected to grief are the Large Intestines and the Lungs. Now,are you having trouble in either of these areas or know someone who does? Are you grieving a relationship- or maybe a lifestyle gone past? Lungs can be associated with pride (by puffing up) or with -not being able to cry or process those emotions. Holding in all of your emotions. Or crying all the time!

The large intestines can be affected by an explanation by; www.anewwayoflife.com:

“The reason is simple: the large intestine spends too much time and energy working on the waste of the body. When its energy is excessive, it cannot let go. It becomes obsessive in its job of sorting through what is essentially waste -the feces. The psychological effect on the person is that he or she dedicated too much energy to pettiness, resentment, and negative or useless memories. The person devotes too much attention and energy to that which should be overlooked or forgotten.” (or- my addition-put in perspective. I don’t want to forget something precious–just the bad stuff!)

So, I ask myself-do I have lung issues? Am I coughing or just can’t get a deep breath? Taking deep breaths all the time. Can’t get satisfactory breaths in?

Do I have bowel issues? Constipation or loose bowels? How do I break this cycle? How do I get out of this barrel of grief that I seem to keep swirling in?

Take the first step: find a quiet spot & take inventory of your memories or feelings. Acknowledge that it hurts. That it’s sucking the life out of you.Sort those out and do something to support the physical areas that are bothering you. When you do both, it seems to allow the body to start co-operating with itself and the emotional and physical seem to start getting better. It starts to acknowledge it has a problem.

In Biblical times essential oils were used for sanctifying and enhancing spiritual awareness. (Helped them concentrate more, cleared the jumbled thoughts, cleansed the person by therapeutic healing. Lifted the spirits! -And when we feel good-we do more service for others!)

After you’ve taken the time for prayer and reflection the oils that are associated with grief are: Young Living blends of : Bergamot to help the depressed. Forgiveness to give a different perspective, Joy to lift the spirit/mood (188 Mhz), or Hope-just what it says! Any of the citrus oils are very uplifting, too. By diffusing or topical to skin. Also, Valor to the feet to balance the body.In NES (which would be determined by a scan) the systems would be addressed with Lung Driver, Large Intestines, ESR or ES8 to give a few. Quite a few homeopathics would apply here, also.

Do it. Take a step. AND THEN start helping others do the same thing.

Blessed healing!

Why are you Depressed? Part 2

Posted on January 1, 2013 by Sandra Wallace

I know that depression can come from things that have happened to us emotionally. There are things that my clients tell me about that were “un-imaginable” in my mind. I’m always encouraged at their strength and their willingness & determination to turn to The Lord. To cling and beg for His help to get through these awful situations. HE IS the GREAT PHYSICIAN.

The kinds of depression that I’m talking about, is sometimes the kind that is a result from above- but also includes the kind where you find yourself saying, “I’m so depressed & I really shouldn’t be!” I don’t want to tell anyone about this! Here is a list of reasons a person COULD be suffering from this silent tormentor. Some are obvious, some-not so much so!

DId you know that your body is so “smart”ly designed by God, that it will actually turn off “switches” in your body to keep you from further harm physically? You see, you can’t seperate physical from emotional. It just isn’t possible. God made us that way! Every organ and system in our body is designed to handle different emotions. NOT JUST THE HEART! So the goal that we have before us, is to get the switches turned back on with correct information restored to your body!

HOW do we do that? It can be done with a variety of different natural sources. Things that HEAL the communication-NOT confuse it more!

You see, depression is “depressed” energy in our bodies! It can be caused by almost anything. The number one thing is sin. Sin saps our very life source. Negative thoughts, hurtful words, concentrating on our faults or faults of others! Concentrating on these things can throw the chemicals off in our bodies.I have struggled with this, too! Do struggle! I’m sinful. BUT- did you know that praying RAISES the electricity by 15 MHz??!!! Want a power zap? Pray! How much could we keep ourselves up if we went in to …”man ought always to pray” mode?!

On the flip side, did you know that a surgery or injury to the physical body can make the person manifest certain emotions? Because that organ or part of the body is responsible for handling those emotions? Therefore, if damaged, it was knocked off its radio station? Not functioning correctly anymore? Could be an overload of depression because of damage!

Did you know that a report that I read a while back stated that approximately 75% of the immune system is in the gut? This includes opening the mouth and putting it in! I have found that if I ask a client who mentions depression, how their digestive system is, I’d say that 98% of them have problems?! That IF the digestive tract is struggling, that energetically- the stomach draws off THE BRAIN for more energy to try and digest your food???? Maybe that’s why Daniel & his friends were found to be way more smart than all the boys who partook of the “king’s dainties!”

There are things out there to help you clear alot of these things up. I use Essential Oils everyday. They were used in The Bible alot. There is a reason for this. Their molecules. Their intelligence imbued from God. Their ability to cross the blood/brain barriers. Their ability to reach the emotional part of the brain that other things can’t reach.

How do you want tomorrow–or THIS EVENING to be different? What are you going to do about it? What change do you already have to power to change? What improvement can YOU make right now?

You’re depressed? Why?

Posted on December 26, 2012 by Sandra Wallace

I know that the concept of being a Christian is: “How in the world can you believe in Christ and be depressed?” If all of us had PERFECT faith, never had a hurt, never had been sick & never did wrong…then YOU ARE RIGHT! We shouldn’t ever be depressed. Wish that I never would be depressed! But that isn’t possible in this old world. I get depressed.

Even David lamented at his life at times. One time, in particular, stands out in my mind. I was in the “DEPTHS” of labor with No# 4. Labor pains were “killing’ me.I’m in the tub trying to get through this. Trying to take a breath and just LIVE THROUGH THIS. The midwife quoted this scripture to me and said, “Remember what Paul said, “”(2 Corinthians12:9) And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” Yeah, well…when a pregnant lady is in the depths of despair in the middle of active labor, don’t expect her to always respond with grace…:-) My statement to this lady was:”NO~NO~NO! I remember David saying, “And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.”!!!!!!!!!!!! (Exclamation points MINE!) I HAD to find something that “spoke to me”. That ministered to ME.

You see, sometimes I hear people say how much they feel guilty for feeling depressed or NOT HAPPY when they think they have no reason to~(and don’t think that I’m taking The Lord’s salvation for granted)-but David wrote about it. A man after God’s own heart! He felt it. He expressed it. And not one word of guilt over admitting it. Yes, we bring-like David- most of it on ourselves. By the way we eat, sleep, take care of the Holy Spirit’s Temple (our bodies) and what we allow to take up housekeeping in our minds and consequences of our actions. Yep. I said it. There.

The heart is the first to know EVERYTHING ~again FIRST~ before the brain even knows it! About 4 1/2 seconds before! And you can’t separate physical from emotional. In the realm of the body communication-you sometimes can’t tell which came first-the chicken or the egg! Either way, we have to change something.

The first place to start is prayer. Sometimes we feel so low we can’t seem to pray. Been there, too. So… then we have to try something different. Sing. Get healthier. Find a way to heal physically & spiritually. I love the quote in the book Healing Oils of the Bible, “A healthy population is bad business for the medical system.” Well, let me add to this: “A healthy population is bad business for Satan!” If we don’t feel well, then we don’t work well. If we don’t work well, we can’t go about The Lord’s work.

Think on this….
