Have been surfing the sites looking for spiritual food because I have been hurting the last few days. Here is another good one:

Many times we come to a place were we feel very alone and feel that God has forsaken us. We don't seem to be connected to God and we don't seem to be getting any direction.

I was in this place not to long ago, and I came to the realization that: l) I wasn't hearing what I wanted to hear; 2) It wasn't time to move into a new direction because I hadn't completed and finished the feelings concerning where I had been and what I had done; and 3) I was still in the blame mode and not willing to take responsibility for my part.

A lot of what blocked me from God was my anger, and my inability to deal with the hurt, pain and rejection. Not only was their feelings in the present, but there were buried feelings that I hadn't dealt with and were in denial about.

When I am angry, I can't get to God and He can't get to me. Denial is a blanket which we often draw around us which prevents us from seeing and dealing with things until we come to a time where we are feeling like looking at and dealing with them, or the pain is so bad that we have to face the issue because staying where we are at is too painful and it is time to let go.

When this happens, all I can do is to continue to pray. Often for me, I need to pray for the blockages and walls to be taken down, so there is nothing obstructing me from God. I have found many times that people have prayed for me and yet, because of my walls, the healing and love couldn't get through.

The prayer of willing to be willing, has been a blessing to me.


I will never forget the time I had a situation going on while living with a friend. I did not know what to do. I left her, went upstairs, knelt beside my bed and I felt like God had touched me with His Hand and I felt peace flow from the top of my head to the tip of my toes. I was able to get up and do what I needed to do to help my friend. I have had a few special incidents where I knew I had been touched, other times I am just able to go within and know He is there.

Went into the hospital to visit a friend who had fallen off a ladder and broke his back. I went in to do a healing and prayer time with him, you could feel the energy flowing in the room, even a nurse who came in asked to borrow some from him. He said, "Sure any time." He left the hospital much sooner than they expected and were surprised at how fast he had healed. All things are possible through prayer.

Have been close to there recently, I felt connected, but the energy is blocked in my body because of swelling and I found I had erected barriers. I am working on them, with God we will come out on the other side.

A young, new preacher was walking with an older, more seasoned preacher in the garden one day. Feeling a bit insecure about what God had for him to do, he was asking the older preacher for some advice.

The older preacher walked up to a rose bush and handed the young preacher a rosebud and told him to open it without tearing any of the petals. The young preacher looked in disbelief at the older preacher and was trying to figure out what a rosebud could possibly have to do with his wanting to know the will of God for his life and ministry. But, because of his great respect for the older preacher, he proceeded to try to unfold the rosebud while keeping every petal intact . . . It wasn't long before he realized how impossible this was to do.

Noticing the young preacher's inability to unfold the rosebud without tearing it, the older preacher began to recite the following poem:

We have a disease of perception. My perception was off, and I should have posted last week, so I am late! End of story, so now I will have to look for more material and find something that speaks to me and share it with you.

I remember this post. It made me smile, because tend to question myself and ask myself if my perception is in need of healing? So I try to pray each day that it BE HEALED!

This is a disease of perception. How I perceive things may not mean the same to someone else.

Not sure if this is computer has the blues or a flood of e-mails, or is it just all washed up? That was my thoughts when I saw this picture, what is your view? I think the original picture had blue water.

In the long run, what does it matter? For me, my computer is my lifeline. It is a two way street.

“People do not need saving.
People need love, support, and encouragement
that they can withstand any trials
and will always come out stronger,
wiser, and more compassionate.
I cannot shelter anyone from the storms of life,
or they will never grow, learn, and expand.”

“If you rely exclusively on the advice of others,
you may make terrible mistakes.
Your heart knows what you need.
Other people have other agendas.”

Only Love Is Real: A Story of Soulmates Reunited
“Come from the heart,
the true heart, not the head.
When in doubt, choose the heart.
This does not mean to deny your own experiences
and that which you have empirically learned
through the years.
It means to trust your self
to integrate intuition and experience.
There is a balance,
a harmony to be nurtured,
between the head and the heart.
When the intuition rings clear and true,
loving impulses are favored.”

“With everything that has happened to you,
you can either feel sorry for yourself
or treat what has happened as a gift.
Everything is either an opportunity to grow
or an obstacle to keep you from growing.
You get to choose.”

“When you're at peace with yourself
and love your self,
it is virtually impossible
to do things to yourself
that are destructive.”
“The more you see yourself
as what you'd like to become,
and act as if
what you want is already there,
the more you'll activate
those dormant
forces that will collaborate
to transform your dream into your reality.”
Quotes from Wayne W. Dyer

Don't think away your feelings

“When emotions are managed by the heart, they heighten your awareness of the world around you and add sparkle to life. The result is new intelligence and a new view of life.”

-- Doc Childre and Howard Martin

How do you intellectualize your emotions?

http://www.animated-gifs.eu/insects-...flies/0234.gif

Many of us live so much in our heads that we intellectualize our emotions. We analyze, rationalize and explain them away so quickly that we don’t actually experience them.

Learn to honour your emotions at all times by being willing to feel them. Of course, you may need to exercise some judgment over how and when you express them.

"Learning to be aware of feelings, how they arise and how to use them creatively so they guide us to happiness, is an essential lifetime skill."

-- Joan Borysenko

A good thing to read at the moment. I had a good day, and now I am hurting. Last night my feet hurt a lot too, and now I know why. It is raining. How easy it is to forget. It is simple. Acceptance is the key. The weather lets me know it is on the way. It is suppose to snow, even though it was in the 60s today.

It is January 1st – the beginning of a banner year. So here’s a short, positive TO-DO list for 2015 – Five things to start doing for yourself:

1. Start being yourself, genuinely and proudly. – Trying to be anyone else is a waste of the person you are. Be yourself. Embrace that individual inside you that has ideas, strengths and beauty like no one else. Be the person you know yourself to be – the best version of you – on your terms. Above all, be true to YOU, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.

2. Start making your own happiness a priority. – Your needs matter. If you don’t value yourself, look out for yourself, and stick up for yourself, you’re sabotaging yourself. Remember, it IS possible to take care of your own needs while simultaneously caring for those around you. And once your needs are met, you will likely be far more capable of helping those who need you most.

3. Start noticing how wealthy you are right now. – Even when times are tough, it’s always important to keep things in perspective. You didn’t go to sleep hungry last night. You didn’t go to sleep outside. You had a choice of what clothes to wear this morning. You hardly broke a sweat today. You didn’t spend a minute in fear. You have access to clean drinking water. You have access to medical care. You have access to the Internet. You can read. Some might say you are incredibly wealthy, so remember to be grateful for all the things you do have.

4. Start entering new relationships for the right reasons. – Enter new relationships with dependable, honest people who reflect the person you are and the person you want to be. Choose friends you are proud to know, people you admire, who show you love and respect – people who reciprocate your kindness and commitment. And pay attention to what people do, because a person’s actions are much more important than their words or how others represent them.

5. Start forgiving yourself and others. – We’ve all been hurt by our own decisions and by others. And while the pain of these experiences is normal, sometimes it lingers for too long. We relive the pain over and over and have a hard time letting go. Forgiveness is the remedy. It doesn’t mean you’re erasing the past, or forgetting what happened. It means you’re letting go of the resentment and pain, and instead choosing to learn from the incident and move on with your life.

And of course, if you're struggling with any of these points, know that you are not alone. Many of us are right there with you, working hard to feel better, think more clearly, and live a life free of headaches and heartache.
