I want to explain the importance of intuition, of listening to your gut. Not long ago, I prayed a prayer like I’ve never prayed. It was a prayer of surrender. And in this prayer I asked that God send messengers to tell me what I should do. I don’t profess to be a person to say I hear God’s voice or even that I’m smart enough to know. All I know is I asked for messengers. Within a month of my prayer, 5 people delivered the message of what I needed to hear. These people had no idea and nothing about what is going on in my life. One I’ve never even met. All they knew is they acted on what they felt. As each one told me the very thing, I had prayed about, I knew they were the messengers. I’ve contacted 3 out of 5 to let them know they were a messenger and the importance of their act. They acted on their intuition and it was a game changer for me. If you feel lead to speak something good to someone, give them something, offer them something, show them something, don’t question it. Act on it! You may be the answer they are waiting on to answer their prayer. And I don’t care what your relationship is with God or if you even have a relationship. God uses everyone. I literally had an atheist help answer a prayer for me last year. They didn’t know they were being used to help answer a prayer, they just acted on their intuition and their gut. Don’t resist the voice that doesn’t use words. #dealingtohealing
Magic mirror on the wall (8/24/2021)
“Mirror mirror on the wall”, we all know this childhood fairy tale. It’s well liked because the bad person dies and the good people live. I think it’s all the morals of the story that we love. We all know a queen, the one who wants it or thinks it’s just about her every single day. She is controlling and a narcissist. Shes a wannabe killer of good energy, an empath’s kind heart, compassion, and genuine concern. She wears a mask and disguises herself as good but still is poison to those that are a threat to her. You would think after decades of this fairy tale being told that people would know that you do reap what you sow and the truth is always revealed. The mirror may work temporarily, just like the magic mirror but eventually the truth will be told. It’s really more than a fairy tale, it’s real life. You cannot think it’s all about you and mistreat people and remain invincible. It’s not possible. Even the huntsman’s conscience got the best of him and betrayed the queen. There may be those who you think are in your corner but will switch sides just to do the right thing. What’s the right thing? If you would not want it done to you, your child, your family, your friends, then why would you expect it to be ok if you do it to others. Let’s not forget the fairy tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, maybe some need to read it again and know that one day the mirror will not lie and the truth will be revealed for you are not really the fairest of them all. #dealingtohealing
My Journey 8/23/2021
Ive been on a journey for 8 days today. Its my healing journey. Words cannot describe what I have felt every single day. It’s as though I’ve reinvented myself. Ive left the past behind, trying to heal from old wounds and traumas, asking guidance from above through people I meet everyday. If you pay attention to the signs, you can find answers as God speaks to us, in us and through us. Each person I meet is not coincidental, they know something, I don’t know. I’m staying open, not judging it, and embracing love that surrounds me. It is indescribable when you find your purpose and you know your life has changed for the better and nothing, absolutely nothing behind you is better than anything that is coming for you. All that I imagined my future that would be, should be or could be does not compare to what it is now and going to be. I don’t know who needs this but if you are in a situation that does not bring you joy and peace every day, get out and find it. Find your purpose. Quit getting lost in other people, jobs, addictions and things that are not fulfilling. Never think you are not worthy enough. Take a leap and jump because there are far better things ahead than the things you leave behind. #dealingtohealing
David’s Prayer (8/22/2021)
The 23rd chapter of Psalms was my mother’s favorite chapter in the Bible. It’s one of the few that I can quote and is in my heart. As I was driving to Dallas yesterday, it kept going over in my head. I got stuck on “he restores my soul”. I think we all need our soul restored. With everything that has happened since 2020, we all need new life, new energy, new intelligence, we all need our spirits renewed. It’s been difficult for everyone from every walk of life. The first part of the chapter says “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” I can definitely relate. With over 1/2 million people dead and more dying, I feel like I am in the valley of death. But the part that Psalmist David says “you are with me” is the best part. It lets me know, that there is hope for restoration and that God never leaves us or forsakes us. This is the valley of the shadow of death but we need to press on and fear no evil. We need to know that our soul will be restored and that goodness and mercy will come. This was David’s prayer and it’s mine too. Drop a ❤️ if it’s yours too. #SundaySermon #DealingtoHealing
Don’t fight the feeling (8/20/21)
Fighting feelings are always tough but fighting intuition is really dismissing a blessing. Remember that prayer you prayed? Your answer just may be in your intuition guiding you to something better or saving you from someone or something. My mother called this her sixth sense. I learned at an early age to know when the gut was talking to me but I’ve dismissed it so many times, that I know my guardian angel shakes their head with grace. But this week, I did not dismiss it. I actually canceled a trip to Las Vegas to take a journey to see people that I felt I needed to see. To check off my bucket list. To find out some answers and to heal. Because don’t we all need that? Answers, checks by our bucket lists and healing? Remember this the next time you get that gut feeling. You don’t have to explain it, justify it, or get permission, just go with your gut and know that you are listening to the only person that matters. You! #dealingtohealing
The Security Blanket (8/19)
Growing up did you have a favorite childhood blanket? I did! It started out brand new and really nice but by the time I was 5 or 6 years old, it looked awful. It had holes in it, strings coming off it, it had been washed 100 times and looked like it was ready for the trash can. I remember my mother trying to toss it but I was not letting that happen. No! I loved that blanket no matter how worn or torn or raggedy it looked, it was my security. People are also like childhood blankets. We pick a partner and we are so in love with them. We love everything about them. We want to be with them all the time, go on trips with them, and basically not leave home without them, much like carrying our childhood security blanket around. Over time, we care a little bit less about the partner that we picked because we begin to see they’re not as attractive as they were in the beginning, we begin to see holes in them, the beauty starts to fade. But instead of getting a new partner, we keep hanging on to them because it’s our security blanket. No matter how toxic, ugly, or raggedy they become we just keep hanging on to them because that’s our security blanket. That partner or person in your life that is toxic, the mask has fallen off, the real deal has been exposed…LET THEM GO! Get rid of them like you would your childhood blanket. They no longer serve a purpose. They do not keep you secure. They are really just a bunch of threads just barely intact. They are really just gone. Let go of what’s already gone. #dealingtohealing
My hardest lessons (8/18)
The hardest lessons in life for me is to learn you cannot help everyone because some people don’t want help. You cannot save everyone because some people don’t know they are drowning. You can’t love everyone because some people are not lovable. You have to treat them like a lion when they think they’re a house cat. You can’t believe everyone because some people believe their own lies. You can’t trust everyone because some people are just not honest. You can’t loose yourself by trying to fix everyone’s problems. #dealingtohealing
Connections are not Coincidental
Everyone in life has a purpose to serve others. Even though I’m not always sure when I meet or connect with someone what their purpose is in my life, or my purpose is for their life, immediately. I just know it’s not coincidental when we meet and connect. People meet for a reason, even if it’s just a season. We serve a purpose for others. We are not just here to work, make money, pay bills and buy stuff. We are not here to be self serving. At the end of the day, ask yourself, what is your purpose for others? What is it that you feel passionate about doing for others? I have a friend that enjoys making people happy and she does that by being a floral designer because flowers make people happy. I personally want to help people to know that they are not alone with life experiences, they are not the only one who feels this way or that way, they are not the only one with “issues”. Many times people suppress their true self out of fear and judgment from others but once they know you’ve experienced it too or feel the same way too, they feel connected to you. My goal is to touch just one life with one post at a time. I know I have to open myself up if I truly want the same from others. It’s called relationship building and it’s the foundation for trust. Finding your passion, your purpose, using your gift is the best reward. Be open, measure the energy, and embrace connections because the connections are not coincidental. #dealingtohealing
What’s left is LEFT
I was talking with a friend the other day, about making changes in life, with new chapters and new seasons. I told her that when you are on a race track and you make that sharp left turn you cannot see what’s behind you. You cannot see what’s in the rearview mirror. It’s the same in life when you decide to move forward with a new chapter, if you turn hard enough, and you’re committed to winning, you won’t see anything behind you. Go so hard that you won’t see it ever again. We are not supposed to look back, go back or think back. It’s why the windshield is bigger than the back window. It’s why in Genesis 19, God told Lot’s wife to flee Sodom and Gomorrah and not to look back because the cities were being destroyed. She did look back and she turned into a pillar of salt. What is it that you need to leave behind? What or who is keeping you from winning? I don’t know about you but I’m turning a hard left and what’s left is LEFT! #dealingtohealing
This is the Day (8/15/2021)
Yesterday was my birthday again. Between the direct messages, text messages, gifts and visits, it was a perfect day. As I closed out my honored day, I couldn’t help but think, what if we celebrated like it was our birthday daily, weekly, monthly. I think we deserve special treatment more than one day a year. Take your 1/2 birthday, which mine would be on a day of love, February 14 and celebrate twice a year. Celebrate you more and celebrate with family and friends. Life is what you make it. You don’t have to wait until special occasions or holidays to receive or send gifts. Who made that the standard and who says we have to follow it. According to the good book we are to rejoice in every day because it’s a gift. Psalms 118:24 says…This is the day that Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Life is short and we have no promise of tomorrow, no promise of another birthday or holiday. Live like you’re dying and celebrate you and others now. #SundaySermon #dealingtohealing
