Resistance

Resistance - the space between will I, or won’t I?

Most often, when I experience this, I respond fearfully.

I recognize it (usually after the fact), but the part where I make a conscious choice to face it is the part that drove me to the creation of this image.

I’m learning that by responding in fear, I am risking missing out on something potentially wonderful. That not choosing to put in just a little effort means potentially losing out on something life changing. Or even just something fun - a change from the norm.

Back to You

March 7, 2018

There is no separation between Him and you. The veil was torn and He's closer than you could ever know."

"You are His beloved, Let Him be the lover of your soul"

My heart leapt into my throat, my pupils dilated, and my jaw dropped a bit, and for a very long 4 seconds, I literally couldn’t believe my eyes. After giving my sleepy brain a minute to fully understand that this was, in fact, happening (and whispering a few expletives to myself), I ran back to my bedroom and shut the door….

Day 365 / Fear

I’ve let fear control every single thought I’ve had since I was a kid, and I’ve only just recently identified it as such. It’s difficult to realize that a voice so familiar could be a voice that whispers lies and intends to suffocate me, not keep me safe.

Idem

“…while I definitely believe that we’re constantly changing and “identity” is an incredibly intricate and tricky subject, I also believe that there are certain patterns that emerge in people that establish a baseline for who they are.”

Expectation Management

We go to our favorite restaurant because of the way they cook burgers, so we expect to be able to sit down, order a burger, and have it taste as incredible as it has the last few times we went. When it doesn't, we're disappointed (and probably hangry).

Creating Space

In his presence, we remain safe and sound, the outside world can remain at bay. Yet we always have the option to stand up and walk out, and to face it all again, knowing we always have that place to return to to be refreshed.
