I am an artist. Part of that definition is my mode of communication. I think visually. Sometimes, I want to communicate and my mind only sends pictures. I struggle to translate those images into words, occasionally. So, I've decided to start talking. But, I must acknowledge that for me to speak requires a visual outlet, as well as the verbal. Additionally, there must be play. So, I am blogging to speak and to play.

Returning to God

There is a whispering in my being that testifies rest is real, rest is worth the risk of letting things fall apart because if I will let God help me then all things will be taken care of, not by me but by Him.

Ecclesiastes 11:10

This makes me think of whole-body healing because it involves healing inside from hurts which cause grief and anger.

Acts 10:45-48

When I read this passage, I was surprised because I assumed it was necessary for water baptism to happen before a baptism of fire (spirt) could occur. Since this idea is directly opposed in scripture, I now question…

Psalm 118:5-6

I will not always feel “hard pressed.” Although I relate to the sentiment today, I am reminded of God’s love for me and his promise of salvation, in this life. I know his promise means I will come and go, freely. And this idea of a “spacious place” makes me feel understood.

Psalm 34:8

I have been taught to think that all the perfection of heaven is reserved, by God, for the reward of the afterlife. I’m not convinced.

Still trying to hear God

If all your “try” has failed to make you feel closer to the Father, or filled with the Holy Spirit, or successful comparatively to the works of the Son, stop trying and look up.

I Feel: but God Sees

God’s perspective: The beginning of HEALED round 2. Two things come to mind. First, I think of my vision where God ate my stone heart and filled me with Spirit…
