Recently, I came across some videos speaking of the years of prosperity and years of tribulation. Though not quite a prophecy forecasted by biblical verse, this idea stems from Genesis 41 where Joseph interprets the pharaoh's dream stating that Egypt would have 7 years of plenty followed by 7 years of famine. Every interpretation I have heard regarding these prophecies speaks of wealth, food, and survival. But, what if our interpretation is off? I woke up the other night from a dream revealing a different perspective that had me feeling a little awed and discombobulated all at once.  What I was shown was that the years of "plenty" referred to that which we build up within ourselves. This can be anything - wealth, righteousness, faith, sin, hate, love, etc. In a sense, we are hoarding up things within, depending on our beliefs, motives, and desires. The years of being in "famine" then refer to those things we've been storing up being called to account. All w...

 "Don't you ever feel afraid?" I was asked for the hundredth time in regard to my hiking alone. Sometimes I do the day hike, other times I'm gone for 3-4 days, and once I hiked for a month and a half. This past Fall, I went hiking in the Eagle Rock Loop of the Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas for only 3 days, 2 nights (only because it was a spur-of-the-moment hike with no warning of the numerous river crossings and unmarked trail. Fun, but the feet were bruised and hurting.) Due to the lack of markings and lack of visibility for any trail entrance on the opposite side of the river, I ended up pairing up with another hiker the first day and joining two more the next. The people I have been blessed to cross paths with on any trail I have ever hiked are ones I honestly feel I could trust with my life. That is, 99% of them. Sometimes I share a campground with them, sometimes I camp utterly alone. This question though led to a conversation with a friend that I paired ...

Ever attempt the law of attraction but just can't seem to get it right? We have these blocks, insecurities, and doubts that constantly like to rear their ugly little heads. After however many years we have each resided on this earth, we chose to believe in another's devaluation of who our precious souls are and whatever it is they said or did stick in our psyche for all this time. It's crazy how that works, isn't it? Instead of valuing our own beauty and quirks, we chose to allow someone else to give us value - whether or not those memories are actually true. Because of this, we become hampered or blocked in certain areas of our life. Whereas we can find with ease an excellent parking space every single time, we can't quite ever make enough money. Or, our work life is everything we ever hoped for, but our love life is not even in existence. I've read many a book on the subject and listened to hundreds of Youtube videos, as well as audiobooks, but I kept running...

We spent our childhoods figuring out who we are. We've padded our adult lives with things, jobs, and situations that reflect who we think we are. And, if you've read the last three posts, you've focused even more on the Self and the many possibilities of all it is or can be. But this is not who you are. Why? Because you are so much more. And then some. We each have a tendency to remain locked within certain restrictions. We maintain habitual cycles like the type of people we date, and the type of scenarios we subconsciously insist on going through again and again. (Ugh. Seriously? Aren't they so annoying?) We maintain the same job or types of jobs throughout our life, even if we are beyond bored with them. We even view those we love as the same people they once were even though they keep showing us differently but we don't wish to see. We hold tight to the belief systems we were taught as a child - religion, finances, work ethics, the way to raise a family, the way...
