Nourishing Your Spirit

Target your words and thoughts toward your desired outcomes

What is an intention? An intention is an anticipated outcome. Intentions can be different from plain thoughts, objectives, or goals in that when we create a goal, we usually create an action plan or specific steps to accomplish it.  When we create intentions, we leave the who, how, what, or when up to God or the Spirit. Instead of trying to figure out or make something happen, we allow the wisdom of God to manifest our desires in a perfect way at just the right time. That doesn’t mean that no action is required, but we wait for the inner promptings of God to guide our steps, instead of trying to figure it all out prematurely.  If we are patient, sometimes our desires will show up with no effort on our part at all. If our intention is internal transformation, we may begin to witness positive changes in our behavior without initially realizing it.   (more…)

Fear of failure

Fear of loss

Fear of looking stupid

Fear of saying the wrong thing

Fear of taking risks

Fear of lack or poverty

Fear of disease or bad health

Fear of accidents or injury

Fear of making the wrong decision

Fear of the future

Fear of losing loved ones

Fear of not getting my needs met

Fear of ANYTHING that robs me of living with God’s PEACE, JOY, and CONTENTMENT every minute of everyday.

Now looking at that list you might think, Wow, she’s just a fireball of fear.  But that simply isn’t true.   I think if we’re being honest we all suffer from feelings of fear every now and then; some of us more frequently than others.
