Yesterday, I once again fell into the hole of allowing stress and worry about things and circumstances over which I have little or no control.to swamp me.
I felt AWFUL.
. The day had. lost its purpose and JOY.
I went outside and lifting my hands and focusing upwards, I began to breathe out my tensions and breathe in deeply of the clean fresh air. Slowly in and out I let the breath flow..
Then from the WORD I clearly sensed His Voice.
I began to WORSHIP. From deep within and with my whole focus and heart.
Do not be anxious about anything but in every situation by prayer and petition with thanksgiving present your requests to GOD. Phil:4 v 6
I surrendered to Him and let it ALL go.
He answered and now I breathe in and out in the rhythm of life and breathe in HIS supernatural and HOLY PEACE.
I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions.
I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
Don’t we have an amazing God, I’ve learned to let go and let God. Breathing in the breath of God and breathing out all that is not of God. WOW! how things change. Thanks and Praise to God for His faithfulness.
