Personal Reflections

Have a beautiful day, and remember that love comes in many languages. What’s your love language? (mine is gifts of service)

I am!

People who know me well might likely call me courageous, even at a young age. In many ways, this picture is me, both as a kiddo and as an adult. (and yes, I have been charged by both a bull and a bear in my lifetime… so far ).

I have some big plans this year, and while I’m not afraid of the work that is required to make them happen, the one thing I struggle with is the “what if I let someone down?” in the process. I know that “feeling” is a spiritual oppressor trying to stall my victory on these plans. It’s better to face that oppressor head on than to leave it lurking behind me in the shadows where it can do damage. It has no hold when the light is shining brightly on it. Please consider praying for me in 2025 on this specifically. (I’d be happy to share what two of my big goals are over a text, phone call, or a cuppa tea )

How may I pray for your word, theme, goal, or struggle as we walk in to 2025?

Happy New Year! xoxo~ liz

PS: here’s a great article on courage . https://www.theepochtimes.com/…/courage-the-risks-you…

Book 1: The School of Obedience is an oldie I had never read before. It’s loaded with pearls of wisdom & heapings of truth. I highly recommend it. We can’t fully walk in God’s blessings if we aren’t obedient enough to responsibly receive them.

 

Book 2: Arise and Stand is written by my friend Andrea. Wheeew! It’s part autobiography & part Bible study. The subtitle is “Breaking through oppression and walking in the full freedom of Christ.” Spiritual oppression is real y’all…. as Christians we don’t tend to talk about that enough. Good versus evil every single day, & if a person is struggling, there’s oppression plain & simple. The question is….. is the person comfortable being spiritually oppressed? I see this in my practice at a health level with some clients….. so many people are comfortable in their discomfort for a variety of reasons, even tho that thinking is to their detriment. Another book I give two to.

 

Book 3: I learned the truth about vaccines probably 20 years ago, and the truth (re: safety and efficacy) is NOT what we were taught in Pharmacy school. The title of this book will make more sense once you dig into it. It has 1240 references and solidly affirms the truth we were not taught. Shocker (not!!) …. profit over purpose is a common theme in the vax industry. It’s a great book for the seasoned truth seeker, but might be a little on the heavy side for newbies. (If someone is in the latter category, I would suggest instead reading Dissolving Illusions by Dr Suzanne Humphries as a starting point).

 

Are you reading any books right now that are pushing you to grow & become a better version of you? I’d love to borrow from your list!
