hey there........

this week was weird. it felt like everyday i had to work 10 hours. the last part of the week that feeling was accurate.

there was a lot going on with some of my coworkers that has me thinking about prayer more. i believe that God does a lot when we pray, really pray. i don't pray enough, to be honest. but this past week has made me want to. i also believe that God heals deep wounds that aren't always obvious to us. alot of our emotional problems come from some things that are so far back in our subconcious we don't even know what the problem is and why it is we struggle with certain things.

i have learned that when a baby is forming in the womb the brain begins recording information at 4-6 weeks. so everything that happens on the outside with the mother is somehow being planted on her baby's memory. i have read stories about people dealing with rejection their whole life and could not figure out why. last fall i attended a weekend class on emotion and demonic healing. this class dealt with all those deeply embedded wounds that people are born into because of something that their parents were dealing with. there were stories of people being healed of things that happened before they were even born. like a woman who was dealing with rejection and mistrust of people was healed of the pain that was caused by finding out that at about 3 months in the womb her mother was trying to abort her. that's some serious stuff. i can't imagine going back in my memory and finding something like that out. of course this type of healing is not from a person, but the holy spirit.

 i'm sure some people reading this won't believe anything that i have written. but it makes sense. our brains record everything we do. we just can't always recall our memories. we have all had dreams that confuse us or haunt us. there is a good reason for that. all of our memories get mixed up and they come up without our choosing. another reason you may not believe what i'm saying is that in our culture we kind of beat the sensitivity to spiritual matters out of our thinking. we want to believe that everything is logical or mechanical. it's not true. i think we can learn alot from kids when they are young. they can feel some spiritual presence that we cannot. but as we raise them we teach them that it's all in our imagination and that they should just be quiet about it and get over it. if you were to go to another country like mexico or africa or any other country you would find that a lot of civilizations do believe in evil spirits. of course our american arrogance just teaches us to rationalize it and explain it away. but we should really pay attention to it and seek God on matters like these. God wants us to be well. healing is not just physical it is emotional and spiritual. we should seek to be whole through the work of the holy spirit.

if you want to know more about this subject i suggest looking up some books by an author named charles kraft. he is a professor at fuller theological seminary in california. he is also an anthropologist. so his books on healing and demonic warfare are surprising because he is a scientist who by profession deals with facts and evidence. all this stuff about demonic activity and spiritual warfare cannot be easily studied and put through the scientific process. i feel that his background in science lends to his credibility on the subject of spiritual healing. he has written several books. i'm sure amazon has them.

thanks for reading.

I was driving home from work today and on the back of a Semi Truck there was , sketched in dirt, a Jesus Fish <>< and Phil 4:19.

I got home and decided to read it.. i thought " i wonder if i was ment to see that truck?"... it READ..

"You can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, his generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus" -- the Message Bible

I also, while pondering on that verse, found another that i cerish: Phil 4:6-7

" Don't fret or worry. INstead of worring, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of Gods' wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happends when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life."... can i get an AMEN!?!?

I LOVE YOU JULIE, AMIEE AND ABBY FOR THE GIRRLY CUDDLING TIME TONIGHT!! HEHEH

Good information for all ya foos!!

Have you ever wanted to do something you never really thought you could?  like maybe were to afraid to do it? or maybe you thought you were to weak or maybe because of your parents or others in your life you got the false impression that you could not do something? have you ever?

What would you do if you had nothing holding you back?

What is your vision?

What is your passion/your dream?

Do you have a legitimate reason why you are not taking steps to fulfil your goals?

What are you afraid off?

We need to start stepping up and taking bold steps, we need to remember that there is NO FEAR in love. that Christ has created each of us with our very own vision, passion and dream.. He has created us and prepared us for a goal.. four a destiny.. When will we wake up and see what it is?

Today was a good day.. I'm learning a lot this week.

However i do have some anxiety about certain things out of my control.. God is in Control, God is in Control.. (i'm trying to remember this.. I have a mighty vision!!!) 

RANDOM :

1. Have you ever farted at your desk and then someone walks over to talk to you and your all like" no.. go away in your head".. hehehehe

2. Today i totally saw a bus drop a man off and then right after, before the man could walk away the bus started driving and went through a giant puddle and sprayed the man and he got all wet.. poor man! (I chuckled.)
