WHEN DO I FEEL CONNECTED...


A few months back I had the opportunity to pick up a few vintage items from a friend. She was changing this design in her room and letting go of the shabby chic vibe. I could not pass up this beautiful antique lamp. So excited to get home and rearrange things to make room for this lamp. Found the perfect spot for it. Dusted the room. Made the bed. Closed the curtains and went to turn it on...no light. Wow. I was disappointed. Took the light bulb out. Got a replacement light bulb. Replaced it. Sat down in the chair to read. Flipped the switch...nothing. What? There was a problem with the wiring. After all this, my beautiful lamp, that was a perfect accent to my room did not light up.

This week I started a 6 week tele-training THE ABUNDANT CREATIVE through FIRE TREE STUDIOS w/ MELISSA D'ANTONI. One of our first assignments is to journal on a daily basis when and how you feel connect to your creative source. After sitting quietly, the image of the lamp came to my mind. Beautiful, timeless, classic, many textures and facets, but not being used to for what it was created to be. To light up a room. Yes it looks pretty on the credinza, but it was designed to be plugged in and give off light. 

When I am connected to God, the ultimate artisan, I light up. When I open the Word of God, I connect with the creator, the one I was created in His image and I light up. My fear subsides. My anxiety flees and I feel connected. That there is a path and I am on it, no matter the choices or decisions I make along the way. 

When I am connected. I let go of failure, wrong choices, guilt and a cleansing wind rushes over me taking the debris of my past years, days, hours.  I am left sanctified. It is in the Holy place of sanctification that I am free to bring forth the vision. I make time to listen. To write. To Draw. To paint. To inspire and be inspired. When I am free. I make time for me. Take care of me. I am being guided. I am connected to the HEALER and I am being healed.

I feel connected when I take time to be quiet.

Stepping Out of Fear

Last night the women of Celebration church BROUGHT it. God is so amazing how he shows up. I have AGAIN been bogged down in fear. Frozen in mire, unable to step out of my situation and let Jesus step in. FEAR of the things I do not have control of...marriage, finances, children. Prisicilla's words Sunday morning lifted me up. God has gone before and set the velocity of my life. Life is coming my way and I am afraid, relationships, mistakes, illness, being alone, I am treading water and so tired, but the truth is God is not going to give me more than I can handle. I know the truth an it has and will continue to set me free.  I am filled with the spirit, the very authority that Jesus has handed me through the Holy Spirit, but I am too weary, too weary to command the enemy to back off. What is wrong with me...this does not feel like me. Sunday morning the LOVER of my soul wooed me with words of truth/encouragement. Listening to Priscilla's annointed message...are you the one in...

New Leaf

Been going through so much since my last post. Why is it you see where you are supposed to go but it is so hard to get there. The obstacles have been very heavy. Laying them down daily, but as I to surrender the deep wounds in my heart it just does not stop. I am in agreement. Take these things Lord but as they begin to surface it is very very hard, a festering mess of healing. This is what healing looks like. Well my usual response is, no way. I thought I wanted to go there but maybe next week. Very similar to other good things I want to do for myself. I want to let go of caffine, sugar and alcohol for 30 days but as soon as I get started the fear of letting go of the crutch sinks in. How will I get by without my daily cup of joe or that glass of wine in the evening and the countless moments I have with sugar and salt during the day. So today I surrender all of that and pray that you cleanse me Lord and I am ready for anything.
