If you are/have been reading along in “The nightmare and the warrior” series that started here, first of all – thank you! I realize that this subject matter is not “everyone’s cup of tea”, and if you have been reading along – it is likely because you have some familiarity (by personal experience or someone you know) with the type of night terrors I am addressing. These are often … Continue reading The nightmare and the warrior: about forgiveness
This is a continuation of a previous post, sharing of my personal deliverance from decades of recurring nightmares. I am sharing out of obedience to my Deliverer, believing that my story will be an encouragement to others who may be tormented by nightmares, as well as those who may suffer from PTSD, or anyone that is plagued by panic attacks and/or paralyzing fear. But before I … Continue reading The nightmare and the warrior: step 1 – prepare
I have spoken a little about my past in other posts (under the Fear Not category). Perhaps not in great detail, but I have not kept silent out of shame. I know full well that my past does not define me, neither shall I allow it dictate the course of my life – present nor future. This non-negotiable fact is born out of the revelation of my true identity, and I bless God for … Continue reading The nightmare and the warrior
I’m a new blogger, still finding my way and learning what works and what doesn’t. Which is why so I appreciate the great advise that is so freely given by those who have gone before and succeeded. In fact, just a few weeks into my blogging adventure, I read a great tweet by Ninie Hammon reminding her followers of the importance of appreciating your audience. It may … Continue reading From a full heart
I recently attended a fund raiser for women in crisis and watched a video in which several young women shared their stories of abandonment, abuse, and failed relationships. My heart ached for each woman, and my mothers heart wanted so very badly to be able to give them a long and comforting embrace. Thankfully, their individual stories are gradually being transformed on a day-by-day basis. And listening to the stories of these … Continue reading But God
In a previous post, I spoke of having a recurring stream of thoughts, ideas, and scriptures for the last several months. It’s been rather like something is trying to be birthed within me … but how does one go about giving birth to something when you don’t yet know what it is? As I opened my heart to new possibilities, I also opened my Bible and began to look for instructions in … Continue reading Water Walking
In my last post, I spoke of being ‘thumped’ and asked the questions: What has God called you to do that requires more of you? What are you facing that requires the very best that you have? As followers of Christ we are called put on the Armor of God and stand against the powers of darkness. I have written about this to some extent in … Continue reading Receiving Instruction (part 3)
I pray I am always honest with God, with myself, and with you – my reader. I never want to represent myself here as having figured out the answers to all of life’s questions, and/or be walking in constant victory over all manner of trials and temptations. Nor, I pray, shall I focus too much on the unanswerable questions of life. Why do we always feel this need to … Continue reading Receiving Instruction (part 2)
