The darker the road we travel, the more we can learn to depend on the Light within Luke 17:21 “Behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” As you journey through this dark time of your life, I pray you can become increasingly aware of the Light of Christ in you and all around you, […]
Spiritual Journey: When you need to step out on faith
Through prayer, God paves gorgeous paths of graces, just for us – but we still have to say yes to Spirit promptings and follow Angel whispers- all the way into a wilderness we don’t understand … No matter how beautifully He lays the path before us, we’re the ones who need to take it – one […]
The simple path to peace … what Unite in Prayer is all about
If we’d all tune in and listen deeply enough to the Perfect Quiet inside, we’d all know the Way, the Truth and the Light for ourselves … We could wander in a trillion different directions and remain One, united beyond time and space, free like children playing, knowing what to do without making any sense. We’d […]
The miracle that changed the trajectory of my life
In 2009, my son was miraculously healed of kidney disease. His nephrologists told us to expect a lifetime of limited growth, dialysis and kidney transplants. This was especially devastating news because I was already at a point of emotional overload, feeling helpless to stop the suffering of another family member, which had gone on for […]
How to stop taking criticism and judgement personally
The other day at a local science museum, my kids discovered a talking robot that uses facial recognition software to interact with people. When they pressed they button, the human-ish looking robot said “look into my eyes and smile.” Then, after making some random electronic computing sounds, it declared with authority what their age and […]
Deeper Life: Slowing down to acknowledge God’s presence
Whose voice is that frantically rushing you out the door? Who is pressuring you to abandon your sense of calm? Who is banging that obnoxious drum? YOU. SHOULD. DO. MORE. Is it the Prince of Peace, whose voice is still and small? Is it your Heavenly Father, who abandons fear for love? Beneath the clamor of this […]
Sinple Faith: Embrace authenticity
When someone tries to impose their cookie cutter beliefs on us, we cringe for a reason. We can’t bear to be sliced apart from our natural connection with God. Some people think they know what’s best for us, but Deep down, we know what we need to protect. Deep down, we know our Creator doesn’t […]
Confessions of a mystical poet
It’s funny looking back. In spite of the fact that I went to church sometimes as a young adult, it’s the last place I would have gone to learn how to hear God’s voice. Even though I was a cradle Catholic and a definite believer in Jesus, I had never learned to integrate our faith […]
Deeper Life: The simple art of surrender
When are you going to realize? It’s not your job to scurry around, grasping at glints of vanishing light- The Kingdom lies within. A radiant, beaming presence – the simple answer to your prayers – is waiting patiently inside, for you to acknowledge Him. When will you allow Him to rise up from within you? […]
What to expect when you follow the still small voice of God
On my honeymoon in Hawaii years ago, everything was perfect except we could never figure out how to get to any of the obscure nature viewing areas we’d read about. Whenever we asked for help, the locals led us on strangely roundabout paths. One would direct us this way to a random landmark that looked like […]
