Frequently Asked Questions
.
- WHAT SHOULD I BE AWARE OF BEFORE MY SESSION?
A summary including items to be aware of regarding your session will be provided to you requiring your signature as verification that you have read and understand what's contained in the paperwork.
It is essential that you understand that this work cannot be accepted as a replacement for any prescribed or necessary medical treatment, as it is best used as a complimentary treatment. In working with this method and in this type of work overall, I am not able to diagnose or medically treat any illness or condition.
- CAN YOU WORK WITH MY PET (CAT, DOG, HORSE ...)
Yes, work can be done with animals as well.
In fact, one of my first clients was our dog, Shasta, when I was first "checking out" how this all works. Click HERE to read the story. It was pretty incredible and I found I could no longer question or deny that this works.
- TELL ME MORE ABOUT ENERGY AND WHAT YOU DO ...
Quantum Physicists have scientifically proven that everything is energy, and, at a quantum level, all energy is connected. The breadth of energy patterns around us is vast, and our 5 traditional senses can only detect about o.o1% of that energy. Yet, we are capable of detecting so much more.
With your permission, I pray for you. I also use the Emotion Code, the Body Code and Applied Kinesiology, aka 'muscle testing' while talking with God asking for direction as I go, in determining the needs to help your body be freed from imbalances, trapped energies, etc.
- WHAT KINDS OF ISSUES CAN THIS HELP TO ADDRESS?
The short answer: just about anything! With God all things are possible and being that everything is energy, when our energetic body is imbalanced or unhealthy, dis-ease typically follows. These imbalances may manifest in emotional troubles such as depression, anxiety, or anger; physical troubles such as allergies, joint pain, headaches, high blood pressure, heart palpitations, etc.; chronic symptoms such as muscle pain, auto-immune disorders, insomnia, etc; or behavioral concerns such as anger management, addictions, procrastination, etc. Those are some examples of areas that can be dealt with.
- HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH DIRECTION TO GO AND WHAT SPECIFICALLY TO DEAL WITH IN A SESSION?
Sometimes there may be a particular issue that obviously needs to be addressed and worked with.
In many sessions, if there is not a particular obvious issue to be dealt with in that moment, I look for direction through prayer on what is priority ... which areas to deal with and in what order, as I believe God is the only One who sees the entire "big picture".
- BUT ISN'T IT ALL JUST THE PLACEBO EFFECT AND NOT REAL?
In short answer ... no!
However, I completely understand the skepticism, because I've been there myself.
Consider that just because you can't see something nor make complete sense of something in your own mind, does not mean it's not there or not real.
- IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD DO AFTER THE SESSION?
Understand that your sleep patterns may change, leaving you possibly either sleepy or energized.
It's important to drink plenty of water and eat healthy, as much as able.
Some find journaling to be helpful, and is encouraged, to help as a way of keeping track of experiences that may occur following a session.
Please be sure to ask me if you have any questions regarding results that are shared with you after your session.
- DO I NEED TO KNOW SPECIFICALLY WHAT I WANT TO HAVE WORKED WITH WHEN I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT?
No. I have some generally stated questions/options available.
Most people have a number of concerns. It is helpful to look at the place where you may feel stuck in your life or where you keep running into the same problem over and over again. Even little aches and pains that may seem like nothing serious to you but seem to keep coming up are also good places to start.
We have a couple of options during the session ... if you'd prefer to work on a particular area, we can do that, or if there are several areas to choose from, we can see where we are directed and what is determined to be priority through prayer.
- WHAT IS MUSCLE TESTING AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Muscle Testing is a process of communication using your body's signals to get answers to yes and no questions. It is based on the premise that your body will naturally have a strong reaction to a positive statement and a weak reaction to a negative statement.
There are many methods for muscle testing.
For more information on this process and to see demonstrations of how muscle testing works, I recommend going to the official site by clicking HERE.
- WHAT IF I AM FEELING A BIT SKEPTICAL ABOUT THIS PROCESS ... CAN IT STILL WORK FOR ME?
Short answer ... Yes!
.
- WHAT ARE TRAPPED EMOTIONS?
These are emotions at times of stress in our lives which we weren't fully able to process. When we can't (for whatever reason) process emotions, the energy of those emotions get trapped in our energy field. This can cause misalignments and other types of imbalances to occur.
- CAN DOING THIS WORK CURE A MEDICAL CONDITION?
This process is not (to be labeled as nor claim to be) a cure for any medical issue. If you have a medical issue it is important to consult with your medical professional. This work is designed solely to locate and have you freed from imbalances. It has been my experience (along with the experience of others) that people do often get relief from physical symptoms through being freed of those imbalances.
Since symptoms are generally your body's signal that there are imbalances that one needs to be freed from, where we are able to locate the root causes of a symptom, it has been my experience (along with others experiences) that the symptoms will very often disappear. It has also been my experience (and the experience of others) that through this process people often get relief from pain when we are successful in finding the cause for the imbalance and releasing it, but please be advised that The Emotion Code and Body Code are not (labeled as nor claim to be) a cure for a medical issue.
- WHAT THIS IS NOT ...
This is not for diagnosing anything, nor is it to cure any diagnosis. A diagnosis is simply a label for a collection of symptoms. Trapped energy and imbalances are commonly found to be at the root cause of symptoms. It's about being freed of energy that is getting in the way of your body functioning better or at its best.
This work is also not talk therapy nor counseling. The intent is to disempower any traumas or blocked energies that seem to be controlling your life in some way.
Rehashing the original event is both unnecessary and discouraged in this work. If counseling or talk therapy seems needed, I'm happy to help by attempting to refer you to a qualified professional.
- HOW ARE YOUR SESSIONS DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS?
No two practitioners are alike. Every practitioner is unique and dealing with their own personal "rubble" as well.
I use the tools of the Emotion Code and the Body Code, along with, primarily, the power of prayer throughout my sessions.
I choose to do my sessions as distant sessions (with only the introductory session in person or over zoom) as I am in prayer throughout the session.
After each session I then send you the results.
- WHAT IS A HEART WALL?
Our hearts generate very powerful electromagnetic fields that can extend six feet or more around our bodies when healthy.
The heart has also been called a "second brain". Your heart contains neurons and has its own memory. It's so powerful that heart transplant recipients have inherited memories and behavioral tendencies that belonged to the donor.
As we go through life and experience heartache or what feels like a heart break, our subconscious attempts to dull the pain by stacking trapped energies within the body around the heart. While helping in the short term, over time this energetic "wall" can become a big problem.
It can stifle your energetic connection with others; prevent you from giving and receiving love fully; sabotage your relationships; or keep you from reaching goals and/or pursuing dreams.
It can also manifest into physical issues such as pain in the neck, chest, back and shoulders; irregular blood pressure; heart arrhythmia; palpitations...etc
It's worth noting that various energetic barriers such as walls can be built around any organ or system in the body, and even around ideas.
- ARE THERE SIDE EFFECTS?
Some report feeling "lighter" and/or uplifted or stand straighter/taller after a session.
It's estimated that about 20% may experience symptoms that might include emotional sensitivity, crying, difficulty sleeping, need for extra sleep, or vivid dreams.
Symptoms may subside right away or take a little bit of time following the session.
Others may not experience immediate change and may need multiple sessions to notice a difference.
Once a session is done, the body will take a little time to process as it adjusts to the new equilibrium... basically a healing period, which usually lasts about a day or two.
- DO I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT PAST EXPERIENCES?
No.
This is not to be considered a counseling session.
I only ask what's necessary and helpful to know (approximate age of occurrence, where in the body this is, to what degree impacted, etc), before you are freed, through prayer, from whatever it may be.
- I'VE HAD A LOT OF TRAUMA IN MY LIFE ... WILL I HAVE TO RE-LIVE IT?
No!
It can be an emotional experience to a degree, but it's an experience that brings relief rather that causing new pain or rehashing old pain.
Many times you may not remember where the trapped energy/emotion may have come from, and that's ok.
- WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EMOTION CODE AND THE BODY CODE?
The Emotion Code is a tool used for helping to locate which emotions are "trapped" that may be contributing to symptoms and potential core causes. The root cause of many issues is a trapped emotion of some kind and the Emotion Code is the foundational basis for this work.
The Body Code goes a bit further by adding additional tools to help in finding other imbalances that may be contributing to symptoms and potential core causes, dealing with all aspects ... physical, emotional, negative "programming" from the "baggage" we've accumulated over the years, etc.
- IS THIS PROCESS SIMILAR TO THERAPY?
The intent of this modality of work is dealing with the finding and freeing of imbalances. This can include old beliefs that are not healthy and trapped emotions, among other things.
The purpose in bringing them to the surface is not to discuss them as in therapy but to have you freed from them.
Trapped emotions and other imbalances can be found and freed without having to talk about anything you feel uncomfortable discussing.
The work I do using the Body Code and the Emotion Code is not therapy and if you have mental health issues or concerns you are advised to consult with a mental health professional.
- HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO DO THIS WORK WITHOUT BEING IN PERSON IN THE SAME ROOM?
I choose to use the power of prayer, when doing this work.
On the energetic side of things, in working with the energetic body we can tune into the energy field of someone who is in the same room or the energy field of someone on the other side of the planet because we are all made up of, and connected by, energy.
It works a bit like the world wide web. I can be in a Zoom meeting with people in other countries, seeing and talking with them as if we're in the same room while we are literally miles apart.
Energy works in very much the same way.
Think about it this way ... how many of us understand fully how the world wide web works? We don't have to understand the intricacies of it for it to work for us. The same is true for energy.
Prayer also can be done with and/or for anyone anywhere in this entire world, as it's God at work.

Tidbits of Truth I've picked up along the way:
Be careful not to dehumanize those you disagree with. In our self-righteousness, we can become the very things we criticize in others ... and not even know it. ~ Be Kind
Faith is the ability to trust what we cannot see.
Faith is willing to take risks, embrace the unseen, step away from the safety of the shore. ~ Mary Southerland
A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for. ~ John She'd
When you start to worry; pray instead.
Climbing the ladder in your work, society or relationship will never lead you to more satisfaction. There will always be another step to take, always another person to surpass. ~ First15
You and I have no right to judge. Consider this rule of thumb: Ask yourself if you'd want to be judged as you have judged others...?
Separate your identity from those who have hurt your heart.
Tell me how you spend your money and your time, and I'll tell you what matters most to you.
To experience the power of forgiveness, we have to quit fishing in the emotional waters of our past. ~ Mary Sutherland
To have a happy heart, practice service and generosity every day.
Don't allow your past to dictate possibilities of your future.
Every time you give - whether that's giving your time, your money, your effort, or your energy - you reveal what matters most to you.
Whatever we have is a gift, and by generously offering back a portion of all we've been given, we experience genuine joy, peace, and security ... which is of far greater value than anything the material world has to offer.
Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behavior does.
If you think you've got to somehow earn God's love, that's legalism - and it robs you of happiness. Legalism is trusting in what you can do for God instead of trusting in what Jesus has already done for you = freedom!
You earn a living by what you make, but you earn the respect and gratitude of others by what you give out of a loving heart.
We've been granted access to the fullness of life, love, and freedom.
It's easy to lose your joy over some small thing. In fact, it's usually the small irritations - more so than the big issues - that cause you to lose your happiness.
Here's a good question to ask when you're distracted by worthless things: How much will this matter in 100 years from now? You will find that the things you used to care about don't even compare to the joy that comes from having a relationship with Jesus.
The battle of stress in our life begins between our ears...in our thoughts. Think about the things that are good, worthy of praise, true, honorable, right, pure, beautiful and respected.
We have access far greater than a face-to-face encounter like Moses had. We can meet our heavenly Father in our day-to-day life just as Moses did.
When you remove from yourself the burden of appearances, you will experience a joy and peace that cannot be found in any other lifestyle than humility. Caring what people think is exhausting! ~ First15
Use discernment. Love big while holding your own personal healthy boundaries. And Don't Judge! Try compassion and communication with attempt to understand.
Stop having a measuring stick for other people. There is always at least one more fact, which we know nothing about, in every person's situation.
Whatever you ask for in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.
Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.
Reliable friends (people) who do what they say are like cool drinks in sweltering heat - refreshing! Integrity doesn't mean you're perfect. It means you're the real deal because your actions match your words.
No matter what comes your way, you can have peace. Regardless of your circumstances, there is a tranquility, serenity, and calmness that anchors your soul, so that you're not blown about by the winds of adversity and heartache.
We dictate the emotions we feel by what we choose to dwell on and believe. Our minds are a battlefield for our emotions, actions, and desires.
Five minutes of thanksgiving and praise has the power to change the direction of each day.
Take time in guided prayer to practice being grateful and enjoy the fruits of a renewed mind and heart filled with joy and truth.
Life together is a family, a fellowship, and a fight. When we learn to be considerate of other people's needs, fears, and doubts, we will be happier people.
It would help each of us if we do not concern ourselves so much with what we cannot control and cannot predict...not to worry about an unknown future. There's a really good reason why Jesus wants us to look at the birds of the air.
Life is not about things. One of the best ways to learn to love is through generosity - giving your time, money, effort, and energy.
Many people just need to know that someone cares about them and notices them at the heart level.
... "thoughts and prayers" ... It is not so true that "prayer changes things", as that prayer changes ME, and I have been given the power of choice and can be used to change things.
Write injuries in the sand, kindnesses in marble. ~ French Proverb
Everyone needs hope. Everyone needs love from people around them.
We are not to preach the doing of good things; good deeds are not to be preached, they are to be performed. ~ Oswald Chambers
Why, what good does it do and how does it help to ask God to guide your footsteps if you're not willing to do your part and move your feet?
Growing closer to God is much more than just head knowledge - it's a relationship!
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
Yet prayer alone will not avail. Faith and works must always be associated. ~ John Harvey Kellogg
Prayer is not so much a question of altering things externally, but of working wonders on a man's disposition.
Jesus sacrificed being Spirit so that we can know God's love.
Prayer can simply be "breath prayers" throughout the day, talking with God, our Creator.
Prayer and action ... can never be seen as contradictory or mutually exclusive. Prayer without action grows into powerless pietism, and action without prayer degenerates into questionable manipulation. ~ Henri Nouwen
Consider that the church in particular is a means NOT ONLY for spreading the gospel BUT ALSO for helping the needy.
Don't waste you life being satisfied with less than what is available to you ... choose to pursue wholehearted relationship with Him.
You can choose to no longer give credence to what others think about you, and instead give credence to the Audience of One who is crazy about you and is cheering you on.
That your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them. This is how prayer works. ~ Pope Francis
There is Adventure, Excitement, Joy, Fulfillment, and Love for all who live by Faith.
Stop the "when and then" thinking! ("When ______, then I'd be happy.") Stop excusing and accusing. Stop fretting and fighting over the small stuff.
A woman bought a bag of cookies and sat down in the terminal at the airport. Soon a man came and sat down beside her. The cookies were in between the two of them, unopened. The man reached over, opened the cookies, took one out, and began to eat it. She thought, "What unmitigated gall & nerve that he would do that!" In response, she reached in, got one, ate it herself, & gave him a dirty look. (continued on next one...)
(...continued from last one) He just smiled then reached in and got another. They traded back and forth and with the last cookie, the man broke it in half, took one half, and left her the other half. The woman got on her plane thinking, "I've never seen a person as arrogant as that man was." As she opened her purse, there was her bag of cookies, unopened.
The word "working" in Greek is the word energos, from which we get our word, "energy".
"It is clear that it is by faith that the works of God are done. It is by faith that we find our purpose."
Waiting on our Creator isn't passive or idle. It takes a determined focus on His wisdom, goodness, and faithfulness no matter how challenging a situation may seem.
Faith is the avenue on which we experience the fullness of God's promises: INTIMACY with Him, PURPOSE in this life, and FREEDOM from all trespasses.
Regarding "hot topics" in our society today and maybe wondering what action to take? Consider that there is a marriage between faith and good works.
Every time you're generous with your time, attention, money, talents, etc., a change takes place in you. Every time you give, your heart moves another notch toward more loving.
In relation to "thoughts and prayers" ~ What is our faith if it does not produce action?
You are not alone.
Victor Franki was a Jewish psychiatrist who was taken to one of the death camps in Nazi Germany. All of his family and friends were gassed and murdered. He writes in his book about one day when he stood in front of the Gestapo stark naked. They'd taken away the prisoners' clothes and even Franki's wedding ring. (continued on next one...)
(... cont'd) As he stood there with nothing at all, he suddenly realized there was one thing the Nazis could not take away from him; his choice in how he would respond. You cannot totally control what other people do to you. You cannot control what other people around you say and do. But you can control how you respond. Better to choose to focus on our purpose instead of the problem.
We are given the option to have the Holy Spirit do work in our heart on a level that fills us with the ability and desire to live entirely in faith.
The Truth is, you don't need a big faith to accomplish huge goals. You just need a little faith - in a big God!
There is power in praying to our Source of joy, hope and power.
Do not try to make your experience a principle for others. Each of us were created as an original.
Pay less attention to what a person says. Just watch what they do. ~ Dale Carnagie
We may have difficulty seeing beyond our present suffering. How about checking in with the One who sees the bigger picture, when looking for direction.
Procrastination drains energy while action produces energy.
You are Unique! You are Known! You are Seen!
"...Let it be done just as you believed it would."
Let's be clear: God loves each of us, and the only thing preventing us from experiencing that love is our hesitation to accept it. The Truth is, none of us deserve the Lord's love, and yet He freely gives it anyway. The barrier(s) of doubt etc. will hold as long as the person believes divine love must be earned. It is offered and given freely by our Creator as a result of His Son's death on our behalf.
God's grace and love is my foundation and fuel.
We were created to give and receive love. Love is our highest calling. It's only in living for love that you will truly find peace and purpose. It's only in the giving and receiving of genuine love that you will feel whole and satisfied.
Faith ("thoughts and prayers") without works (action) is dead. Characterize people by their actions and you will never be fooled by their words.
In following Jesus as an example, we are not to spend all our time in the calm waters just inside the harbor, full of joy, but always tied to the dock. If we want to follow Jesus' example, we have to get out past the harbor into the great depths, and begin to know things for ourselves...begin to have spiritual discernment.
It is a dangerous thing to refuse to continue learning and knowing more ... in search of truth.
Forgiveness is instant; trust must be rebuilt over time.
Let love be genuine.
The greatest GIFT you can give somebody is your attention ... your attention is your time, and your time is your life and you will never get those moments back. And that's why it is so precious when you give it.
Don't live to make a good impression on others.
I'm supposed to have joy in my problems and face them head on, trusting I'm not alone in this? Yes.
"I'm not good enough." That's not true. I am deeply loved, fully forgiven, fully pleasing, and totally accepted by our Creator.
Forgiveness is instant; trust must be rebuilt over time.
Let go of the fears that keep you from growing.
While we cannot go back and change our past, we can change our response to our past. ~ Mary Southerland
Prayer and action ... can never be seen as contradictory or mutually exclusive. Prayer without action grows into powerless pietism, and action without prayer degenerates into questionable manipulation. ~ Henri Nouwen
When you hold on to hurt, you're really only hurting yourself.
Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. ~ Mahatma Gandi
It's in the giving and receiving of love that healing takes place. ~ First15
Our Creator is a God of restoration and healing ... the rubble of your past will never disqualify you from God's love.
You and I can have a real, eternal impact on the earth, as intended ... come as you are.
Change can be accomplished most of all through the power of prayer, because with God all things are possible. ~ Wilferd Peterson
"I'm a failure." That's not true. I sometimes fail, but that's not who or what I am.
The power of prayer cannot be explained, but the power of prayer can be experienced.
You can pray while you work. Work doesn't stop prayer and prayer doesn't stop work. ~ Mother Teresa
Rubble (emotional baggage, etc) in our past is not meant to stay there. The first step to dealing with it is to be aware of it. It then requires choosing to take action. Talking to God is a great way to start. Nehemiah is an example of this.
There is no such thing as a non-valuable person in God's eyes. He loves every single one of us equally and is personally involved. The proof is in the fact that out of the multiple trillions of people who are (and have been) on this earth, no two of us have the same fingerprint. You are one of a kind and well-loved by the Creator who brought you into being.
The meaning I picked, the one that changed my life: Overcome fear, behold wonder. ~ Richard Bach
Be Kind. Loan someone your strength instead of reminding them of their weakness. ~ Andy Stanley
Do it now. Sometimes later becomes never.
A soft answer does not mean weakness. ~ Kathi Lipp
"I can't do anything right." That's not true.
"I'm unloved." That's not true. There is One who loves me always, no matter what!
"Prayer does not fit us for the greater works; prayer IS the greater work."
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Never underestimate what God can do when we obey Him in faith doing the work in His strength.
Sincerity means that the appearance and the reality are exactly the same. ~ Oswald Chambers
The value is found "in Jesus' name".
Faith is not a feeling.
I choose to pray.
It's about relationship ... the greatest relationship being with Jesus.
God is the greatest Counselor, Therapist and Healer and I'm just a worker here, continuing to learn as I go, and grow.
Let us not go back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness. ~ James Thurber
It's Faith working through Love.
Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions. ~ Rose Pepper
I discovered God, our Creator, is absolutely real!
I am not some fanatic, Bible-thumping, religious Christian! I am a simple everyday farm-girl-at-heart who has been in the deep valley more than once, where God met me there time and time again, growing in my relationship with Jesus.
Over time I have discovered the Truth ... that God, our Creator is Faithful, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Ineffable, Inscrutable, Transcendent, Immutable, 100% Capable and HIs timing is impeccable!
Consider that in most anything in life, insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities is more an action of adolescence than freedom.
Prayer is talking with God ... right? So basically what I'm doing in my sessions is having an ongoing prayer talking with God throughout the entire session.
Fear builds its phantoms which are more fearsome than reality itself. ~ Jawaharlal Nehru - India's 1st Prime Minister
If you look at the world, you'll be distressed. If you look within, you'll be depressed. If you look at Christ, you'll be at rest. ~ Corrie Ten Boom - Holocaust survivor
It's like peeling an onion ... you never know how many layers there are going to be, and the top one needs to be taken off before you can get to the next one and the next one and the next one ... so I seek and depend on God's timing and direction in the process.
Praying is not exclusive to any one person(s). God wants relationship thru prayer/communication with each one of us.
Even the smallest stone of judgement is too heavy for us to carry. ~ Sharon Jaynes
Let's stop comparing ourselves with someone else, and each run our own personal race marked out for each of us.
We are only what we are in the dark (imaginations of our minds; thoughts of our heart; habits of our bodies); all the rest is reputation. ~ Oswald Chambers
It's in sharing the joy!
Having been a skeptic myself, I was forced to have to ask myself a couple of questions ... What makes you think God is not capable of working in this way? Have you put God in a box by deciding exactly what it is that God can and cannot do?
Vision based on fear rather than faith is going to limit you, setting yourself up for self-defeat.
Walls turned sideways are bridges. ~ Angela Davis
"I'm a loser." That's not true. I'm more than a conqueror through the One who gives me strength.
Are you more of an encourager who cheers others on in the great race of life, or a discourager who trips them up?
"I'm worthless." That's not true. My worth is not based on what others think of me, but on what my Audience of One thinks of me - and He thinks I'm priceless.
True joy comes from serving moreso than status, salary or sex. The issue isn't whether there's something wrong with those things; they just don't deserve first place if wanting to experience true joy and a far greater purpose in each of our lives.
Sometimes the sea is calm, the wind blows softly and the sun is shining and we are sailing along just fine. But sometimes the wind rises, the sky darkens, and we find ourselves amid a terrible storm. And that's the way life is ... sometimes things are good and sometimes things are bad, but there is One who is in control of it all.
You will never hear God say, "Oops, I didn't see that coming." 😉 ~ Sharon Jaynes
I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business. ~ Michael J. Fox
Freedom is one of the most prized possessions in all humanity. And it was pursuit of freedom that brought about the very breath of this nation of ours.
It's about consistency in relationship, not religion nor strict, unyielding doctrines.
It is a great thing to tell yourself the truth. Ask yourself: Am I getting nobler, more helpful, more humble, as I get older, or am I getting more self-assertive, more deliberately determined to have my own way?
Life is about love and significance comes from service.
You were made for something greater than yourself. Significance doesn't come from status, salary, or sex. It comes from service.
We are all captives to one thing or another ... even good things like hard work and relationships can keep us in bondage if we're not careful.
If you're going to be diehard loyal, be careful who you're loyal to.
Treat others the way you want to be treated.
In the world wrought with depression and hurt, we have a Father who is the Source of all comfort.
A key to contentment: stop comparing yourself to others.
A key to contentment: enjoy what you have.
A key to contentment: remember life is not about things.
A key to contentment: focus on what will last forever.
Many of us attempt to find worth and identity in what we do - not in Whose we are.
We can change our lives by changing how we think.
The law of reproduction says that you reap what you sow. But the principle of multiplication says that you also always reap more than you sow.
You reap what you sow.
All of us are broken. All of us are hurting. All of us need the love of our heavenly Father.
Choose to forget about last year's crop failure. Instead, start focusing on the long-term harvest in your life.
Instead of moaning, get moving!
Break up with fake.
Although grace is free, it didn't come cheap.
Encountering God's presence starts with having faith in what scripture says. Feeling Gods nearness starts with trusting that He's right next to you and wants you to know Him. God doesn't force Himself on us. He doesn't occupy space in our hearts that we choose to fill with other things.
The essential thing is my personal relationship with Jesus.
The remarkable thing about fear in God is that when you fear God you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God you fear everything else.
Shame is a universal destroyer of destinies, dignity & callings. Whispering, "You're the only one", "No one is as bad as you", "If they only knew ...". Shame keeps its victims silent. Jesus removes the reason for shame: it's up to us to walk away from the season of shame. ~ Sharon Jaynes
The Sovereign of the universe has all power to meet every single need you have, to answer your prayers, and to give you direction. He's willing to speak, it's a matter of if you're willing to listen.
What you've known of life this far is not all there is.
The wisdom of the world is not the wisdom of God.
Like a shield, God can only protect us if we're willing to stay behind Him ... waiting on Him and allowing Him to go before us as our Guide. You will only be able to wait on God to the level that you trust Him. To be able to actively trust God, you have to believe He truly has your best interests in mind. He can only help us if we are willing to be helped.
Trust isn't simply a matter of the head, but of the heart.
Choosing to see yourself as you perceive those around you do, will only set you up for heartache.
There is nothing miraculous or mysterious about the things we can explain.
A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
What does the farmer do when he has a barren field that's producing no income? He goes out and starts planting some seeds - because nothing is going to happen until he plants the seed. He can pray all he wants, but it's not going to produce a crop. Planting is an act of faith.
The true test of spirituality occurs when we come up against injustice, degradation, ingratitude, and turmoil. All of which have a tendency to make us spiritually lazy.
Feelings don't always line up with facts. It's up to you to decide to walk away from that shame place, regardless of what your feelings are telling you at the time. ~ Sharon Jaynes
If/When we seek only our enjoyment of Jesus Christ, that is not a true realization of Him.
The secret to contentment is finding your security and your satisfaction not in what you have but in Whose you are.
Seeing is never believing: we interpret what we see in the light of what we believe. Therefore the nature of faith is that it must be tried. ~ Oswald Chambers
Whoever said "normal" was godly?
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Words are powerful ... for the good and for the bad ... creating life or destruction ... destroying or building up. We are wise to choose our words carefully.
Take care to not be so busy getting more, that you don't enjoy what you've got. Avoid getting into the "when and then" thinking ... WHEN this happens, THEN I'll be happy.
Happiness is a choice! It has nothing to do with your circumstances and everything to do with your attitude.
Your choices are a deliberate determination ... not something into which you are automatically drift.
Our resources reach only as far as we can see; God's resources see what we can't see and prepare us for what we don't know is coming. Our resources increase and decrease based on what we face; God is all powerful and remains the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Live your life in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip. ~ Will Rogers
When you worry, you're trying to play God by assuming responsibility for something that God has said He will take care of.
You are loved by One who wants a personal relationship with you.
The first step to becoming a contented person is to stop comparing yourself to others; stop comparing your life to other's lives. Comparison tends to be our human favorite pastime. Desires are not wrong ... but when comparing, can lead to all kinds of problems.
