Nehemiah 9:17

30/12/2022

Before my Dad passed away, he told me: "The idea that God will swoop down, pick up my dead body & bring me to heaven, is so absurd but ... I can't be certain that it won't happen." he said. My Dad, being a naturalist & science-minded, was not a fan of certainty (especially other peoples' certainty, lol!). Even though his skepticism drove him away from religious belief, at some point it also brought him back.

My Dad's realization that we can't be certain that the laws of nature as we know them are the only possible laws, is a beautiful, little, powerful miracle. Emphatically he would declare "God is love & heaven is right here & now!" With much prayer I trust my Dad's heart & mind was renewed even further & now he's singing & soaring limitlessly through eternal life in heaven with God who creates all the laws, how cool, amen!

So often the question Why not believe? comes to my mind. What harm or difficulty is it to believe GOD IS LOVE? The Bible & Gospel is such a rich & fantastical Truth story. I am so grateful to have been drawn by the Father & to be surrounded by believers in God's magic through Christ: "People cannot come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me; and I will raise them to life on the last day." John 6:44

God's Way...

I am writing this blog to highlight Bible verses that I experience as especially healing and relevant for daily guidance. My journeys in life have been truly amazing. Chronic illness with ME/CFS, as difficult as it is, continues to take me wild and loving places for healing.

The illness flare up I experienced from 2019-2021 has lead me to stop working as a RMT, coach & tutor to focus on my own rehabilitation. While much of my identity & purpose, wrapped up in work I absolutely love, is unraveling, I am becoming more clear this change is God’s Way of strongly nudging me yet again into a new creation & phase of alignment. Contending with an illness such as ME/CFS that currently has no treatment, strikingly reveals to me how precious energy is. Every bit of energy we are given is divine, coming directly from God who holds the reins, guiding each of us to use our energy wisely. Imagine holding the reins of nearly 8 billion free-willed humans!

From necessity, curiosity and love, I'm orienting my energy to honor God by reading the Bible daily and listening carefully with all my senses. Being a Christian for nearly forty years, the Bible has always been special & important to me, but since 2020, the passages feel even more alive & meaningful - the Living Word of God truly is medicine when one's heart is open to it. Thank God, amen!
