Soul Healing

Physical healing is a wonderful thing.  But all of us, if we are honest, need healing of our souls as well.  The deep part of us that makes us us.  The part of us, that is different from every other person on this planet, placed in us by God at our conception.

Here are some things that God uses to heal my soul:

……a sunset with all the colors of a masterpiece

……the sounds of the ocean crashing on the shore

……my favorite songs cranked loudly in the car

……quiet time, reading God’s Bible, words of how much He loves me, no matter what

……going outside, doing just about anything, but really seeing, smelling, feeling, listening

……singing, with no holding back

……playing the piano, getting lost in the notes

……seeing, hearing the eyes and smiles and voices of those I love

…..praying and pouring out my heart to the One who made me and cares forever what is going on in my life.

This list could go on and on.  But it is good for me to remember.  Because soul healing helps everything….the body, the mind, the heart.  I encourage you to make your own list soon, and go after some of that soul healing.  Blessings on your day.  Love, Lisa

 

 

 

Trusting When the Ground Shakes

This is Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge in County Antrim, Ireland.   It stands 20 meters long and sways 30 meters above the rocks below.  The current bridge, built in 2008, can hold 8 people at a time, and gives a dizzying thrill of a walk to visitors crossing over to the tiny island of Carrickarede.  There are some visitors that had to leave the tiny island by boat, due to fear of walking back across the bridge again.  But most people do just fine, trusting that the makers of the bridge knew what they were doing.

We all go through things in our lives that feel like that bridge, shaky, dizzying, uncertain, high above the ground.  Who made you, who made this whole world and the things in it that sometimes feel so shaky?  The Lord God, Maker of the Universe, is the best builder, and in Him all things are held together.  And we can cross to and fro, to and fro, trusting the Builder to know what He’s doing.  Even if we’re freaking out and whining and screaming, He’s calm and in control.  Giving us the trust we need to take that step right onto the bridge.

Holding on tightly today, Lisa
