As I was beginning to fall asleep last night God started revealing to me details about this blog. First showing me a drop of blood and a tear-drop and how they are symbolically the same shape. They seem to fall the same way and through drawings you see them look the same. Are they the same makeup or are they made completely different from each other? What is the spiritual meaning of the tear drop? The drop of blood? Since it is Holy Week, let’s take a look and find out what is so beautiful about them both. Drop of Blood The blood is significant for our life in many ways. As with the human body it contains the oxygen as flows from the heart and throughout the body, giving necessary nutrients to all areas within. Feeding our body and brain with everything needed to keep breathing, with our heart

Have you tried to put a broken heart back together? Healing hearts can be painful, taking it step by step. It’s through each step that you move further away from the pain and closer to the healing. Each step can bring about healing and also revealing the deep root of the issue. That is crucial to recovery and to staying healed. If you would just continue to cover the scab and not deal with the issue underneath, it will just continue to be painful and delay the healing. I guess this is why I love the step work process for recovery. Not only did it save my life and reveal so many deep issues, I’ve seen it work in keeping my son sober for nearly 8 years after a horrible addicted life and I’ve seen it work in my daughter’s life as well. Healing hearts in Step 3 Step 3

I was recently asked about leadership without controlling the purpose of it. How do you lead and not take control of the program, the situation, the business or what ever it may be? For me it’s a simply answer, I can’t control anyone except my own actions or reactions. That is all I can do, this goes along with Step 1 of the Big Book, the 12 Steps of Healing, the 12 Steps of Recovery. These are the steps I know and try to live daily in my life because I know how they work and the greatness that has come from following them. I was recovering from being once married to a sex addict, and I used the 12 Step program at a recovery center for couples, an ex spouse such as myself. This program saved my life and it changed my life as well. Leadership Leadership is described

In this course we are going to discover the Great Steps, and how they can begin healing hearts. beginning with Step One.  The step work helped me in my recovery and made a big impact on my life, my outlook, my boundaries and my attitude. I used them to help in my healing through betrayal and trauma. If you do the work and I mean do the work, you will see your life turn around and your healing begin. So let start off by recognizing the Steps in each one and begin looking for the causes, the hurts, the pains and the healing. Shall we begin? We admitted we are powerless over the betrayal caused in our lives and that our lives have become unmanageable. We admitted It’s hard to admit at times but bringing it out and to our forefront in so beneficial to our mental and body health

Have you ever had a lawn or flower bed full of weeds and unwanted grass? If so then you know that you’ve got to be pulling up weeds before they overtake everything. Today was a beautiful day to be outside, so I decided to get some yard work done while I had the chance. I figured  I would get those weeds pulled up before I couldn’t see the ground any longer. It seems that if you let them grow a little, they grow a lot and spread to growing many neighbors. Soon they overtake everything and it’s so hard to get them cleared out. You can think you’re making headway and you’re really not. While I was pulling up the weeds, a few would break off before I could get the root, so I would have to use my garden tool, dandelion digger as I call it, and push it

Precious and few are the moments the two of us can share,  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I95xCjQe6Jg )  Not sure why those words and song keep going on in my mind but they do remind me of my Jesus and the also remind me of a time long ago. Lord, there are times I get so tired of trying, surviving, thinking, praying, hoping, wondering, and wishing. Guess that’s when I finally have to give  up and just surrender and let you. But dadgum it God, I’m just tired of being this way, as I know so many others do as well. You take us to the level we can’t handle anymore to bring us back up in the way You want us to be. Redeemed. It just gets really hard sometimes Father especially when you’re all alone. Being set apart I know You have set me apart but as this moment I am just

This is something my precious grandma always said to me any my siblings growing up. “You can grow old in numbers but never grow up.” She was saying, you may get old by the number of years you’ve been alive but never loose that childlike heart. Enjoy life and live it to the fullest. My grandma sure did. She loved being funny and silly. I can remember one time she and my dad had a blast on his motorcycle. My grandma grew up during the early 1900’s and during the depression she had her family. She never had much because times were so hard and she never complained either. So to her these special moments of being silly or enjoying life, was her greatest treat in life. Not money, but family. She was forever “Motorcycle Grammy” after that. She may have been around 80 years old but it didn’t stop

I can only imagine what a glorious day it is in Heaven today and are they celebrating in Heaven today? It’s my grandma’s birthday, which she called the “Turd of March” in her little voice with laughter underneath. I know that when you receive your reward of entering Heaven, you receive the gift of never aging or celebrate birthdays, but I can’t help but wonder if my grandma, in some way, celebrates it. She loved her birthday even though it was a big deal when she was growing up. Possibly because she grew up in the early 1900’s and things were scarce in her family. How could it not be with 10 children? Times had to be so hard with raising that many little ones. I do know that even if money was scarce, love was not. She always told me, as a child, that growing up was hard but

“Go into all of the world preaching the gospel and making disciples.” Isn’t this the great commission or doctrine that churches put as their highest declaration to accomplish, It is a statement that Christ surely wants us to do. Otherwise why would He have ever mentioned it? Does it really have any bearing on us or who He wants us to be? I believe it absolutely does. Why would we want to hold onto all of the great knowledge that we have, and keep it to ourselves? Why wouldn’t we want others to become Christ Like as we are trying to do? So is it our duty then? You might call it that but I would like to call it, having His Heart. He was always sitting down teaching others. Asking them to walk with Him, partake in the events and gatherings. His heart did this, so why can’t ours?

How do you even begin healing broken hearts and begin a new journey in life? If you’ve been hurt so badly that you don’t even care to live past the next second, where and how do you even find it in you to keep going? Are these questions that you have asked yourself or recently felt in your heart? So many of us have felt this way at one time or another. It’s called grief and being overwhelmed with it to the point of have PSTD. Yes, this feeling is a real thing and yes, trauma can cause any human to have PTSD. We often think of that term for only our Service men and women to have but in an abusive situation or on ongoing emotional or mental abuse, it can really happen to us. The trauma causes our brain to be affected and it can cause it to
