My shallow breathing is evidence of lack of trust in God. When we breathe in a shallow way, the body remains in a cyclical state of stress—our stress causing shallow breathing and our shallow breathing causing stress.

Old Year’s Night-This Year, There Will Be Fire
Having finally begun understanding whom I was in God, I began changing. Eviscerated, ground to fine dust, demolished beyond recognition, with nothing more than the salt from my own tears, I shed like an old skin the shards of what was. There was no more of me. And in the absence, after so many years, there was finally room for God. It was the time of my EVOLUTION. Evolution, however, was not the end of the story.

Dislike confusion. A God Thing.
I believe in free will, knowing that the Perfect Will of God leads us to and through things in order to bring us to the places we need to be.
Learning to surrender, yet again
Teach them to do everything I have commanded you. "And remember that I am always with you until the end of time." Matthew 28:20 (GWT) I am grateful for my faith, even when its lessons are beyond my control; even when it feels that my entire life is beyond my control. I frequently need to …
My censored prayers
I find myself so frustrated by the dearth of Grace practice by so-called Christians, that I'm inclined to profess my humanity on the regular. We are forgiven y'all, not perfect. (and you wonder why I wanna cuss?)
