Soul Health: Make Room for Peace
http://soulwellness.blogspot.com/2011/08/make-room-for-peace.html
Personal musings on care of the soul and connecting with God from a Christian perspective. Tuesday, August 9, 2011. Make Room for Peace. Stop for just a few seconds and breathe deeply. Take five slow breaths in and out. Was that difficult for you? Did you feel like you were wasting time that could be spent on something more significant? Here are just a few of my favorite peace-related verses:. When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul." (Psalm 94:19). Be anxious for n...

Soul Health: A Spiritual Kick in the Pants

Personal musings on care of the soul and connecting with God from a Christian perspective. Wednesday, February 16, 2011. A Spiritual Kick in the Pants. Have you ever had a spiritual kick in the pants? A wake-up call from God? I've had multiple times in my life when I was shaken out of my relative apathy into rapt attention. God, but He uses them to renew our faith. Through this situation I'm experiencing, I've realized that it is. We can't avoid trials, but we can know one thing for certain: God is with ...

Personal musings on care of the soul and connecting with God from a Christian perspective. Monday, January 4, 2010. The best of life on Earth is a glimpse of Heaven; the worst of life is a glimpse of Hell." Randy Alcorn, from his book. I recently began reading the book. Conversely, those darkest moments of our lives here on earth could be promptings to thank God for His grace in sparing us from Hell and to pray for others to open themselves to faith in Him.

Soul Health: God's Fierce Love
http://soulwellness.blogspot.com/2011/03/gods-fierce-love.html
Personal musings on care of the soul and connecting with God from a Christian perspective. Monday, March 14, 2011. The intensitiy and protectiveness of God for His people has struck me repeatedly as I've read various chapters in Isaiah. Not only does God tell them they shouldn't fear because He will be with them, and that He will strengthen them and help them (41:10), He says. I can only compare this fierce love to the love a parent has for a child, where if the child were attacked the parent would not j...

Personal musings on care of the soul and connecting with God from a Christian perspective. Friday, October 1, 2010. Inside the Mind of a Church Visitor. On the way to the service, questions flood my mind: How do I get there? Did I wear something appropriate? Do I need to bring my Bible or anything else? Where do I park? Where do I enter the building? Where do I sit? Be sure to have song lyrics available either in hymnals, printouts, or onscreen. Don't assume that everyone knows the words to songs tha...

Soul Health: June 2010
http://soulwellness.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Personal musings on care of the soul and connecting with God from a Christian perspective. Tuesday, June 22, 2010. In Defense of a Moment of Silence. Is there space in your life to hear what God might want to tell you? Is there a time when you allot even a few minutes here and there to just being with Him, knowing that He loves you and you love Him, without an agenda? I've sensed lately that God has been nudging me to learn to take pleasure simply in being with Him and contemplating Him. No one's time wa...

Soul Health: September 2009

Personal musings on care of the soul and connecting with God from a Christian perspective. Thursday, September 3, 2009. Have you ever been with a group of people, let's say a Bible study or community group, and felt different from everyone else? Let me set the scene: you respond to a question, express a way you interacted with God over the past week, or share about a past experience and how it fit in with your testimony. You're met with blank stares or silence (or both). The very aspects of ourselves tha...

Personal musings on care of the soul and connecting with God from a Christian perspective. Monday, October 26, 2009. Stewardship of the Home. I've found that in Christian circles we often say things like "my money is really God's money" or "this home really belongs to God." Then again, my husband is a Certified Financial Planner and a Christian, so maybe I hear these types of things more than most. But I wonder whether, at the heart level, we actually live that way? The Discipline of Stewardship. When we...

Personal musings on care of the soul and connecting with God from a Christian perspective. Tuesday, May 7, 2013. Gazing at My Father. The other day, I was playing with my just-turned-one-year-old daughter when she heard the sound of the lawnmower's motor starting. Her head turned as she sought to determine the source of the sound, then she immediately crawled to the nearest window to look outside. Still not finding it, she went from one window to the next until finally she saw him: "Da Da! Heaven Pouring...
