From one Soul to Another

I’m Back

soulaccess — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 21:47:27 +0000

Well its been a long time since I have posted anything here. I have been extremely busy with going back to school and auditioning in LA, pretending to be a graphics designer, (you can check out my stuff on my flickr link) writing new children’s curriculum, and re-evaluating my life. More to come on that subject.

God has been faithful to me over the last few months, but glad to be approaching a new year, hopefully bringing new discoveries, new journeys and much joy.

I will be working on posting something worthwhile in the next day or two, just wanted to let my blogging buddies know I’m back in the game. =)

Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and are staying safe in the snow.

Talk more soon.

Life Decisions

soulaccess — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 17:05:29 +0000

Life decisions…we make them all the time, but it is the timing of these important decisions that means everything in a person’s life. Whether we move here or there, go to school now or later, have a baby this year, or the next, do I eat this now or save it for later? Do I quit this job, and take another, do I stay up or get the sleep I need, do I work out or not…etc…etc…etc….

It seems that life decisions are always bombarding us from every angle of life and it is how we handle these things and what we do with them that makes the difference in our lives. I am currently up a huge life decision that effects every area of my life, including my marriage, my jobs, my friends, my social life, (not that I have a huge one of those anyway), my small group, my family, and other decisions like when to start a family, and many more.

However, I am so excited about this new journey I am about to embark on, I have decided to go back to school this fall to become an elementary school teacher, I have also decided I would like to minor in drama so that I have the option to teach drama in high school later on if I choose. I am thrilled about this decision but at the same terrified, for I haven’t been back to school in 3 years and there are certain subjects I am very leery of. However, because I did a year of running start my junior year in high school I already have a year of college under my belt and I will be entering in at sophomore status. So that is encouraging.

All this to say I am very excited about the new journey God has me on and I am trusting and relying on Him to put all the other pieces of my life in place so that it all works out for the good of everybody.

My Dog

soulaccess — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 18:56:44 +0000

I just have to say that I love my dog! She is the sweetest, most fun loving dog probably that has ever existed. Her name is Chloe and she and our very orange kitty, Sadee have a special bond that is hard to explain. They are the best of buddies, they hang out together, wrestle, play and chase each other, they sleep together, it is very cute. I am just so thankful we have pets that get along with each other and provide us with nightly entertainment, and laughs.

Infatuation with the Cancer Box

soulaccess — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 18:44:57 +0000

I don’t know what it is about our society and their infatuation with what I call the cancer box, but tanning especially in the Northwest is mind boggling to me. Now don’t get me wrong, I for sure am one of these people, for gosh sakes my parents own their own tanning bed, but it is fascinating to me how one’s desire to be golden will actually drive them to lay inside basically a coffin and be exposed to what most likely dilibertly causes cancer? I don’t understand this about others but mostly about myself.

However, I am a sucker for a good deal on a tanning package. My most recent run in with tanning happened two days ago, when I decided I needed to start tanning for my trip to California. Well turns out the high pressure bed I was booked for was accidently double booked, so the ladies at the desk kindly offered to give me a medium pressure bed for free. Of course I took it, who would pass up something free. Well, unfortunately the ladies failed to educate me that unlike the super high bed the medium pressure will in fact burn the crap out of you if you haven’t been tanning in months. So all this to say, 3 am in the morning I wake up with what feels like leather skin, a burn like no other I have ever experienced, and a bright red lobster stomach. I am sure I just shortened my life span by 3 years or so. You would think that this would permanently cure me from the obsession with the cancer box, but quite the opposite I will be going back next week to even out my tan, that is of course once my burn settles down. =)

The Happiest Place on Earth

soulaccess — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 17:10:56 +0000

I am so excited in three weeks I get to head down to Cali to the Happiest Place on Earth! My husband and I are heading down there with my whole family and doing a road trip to get away for 11 days to do the California experience. After almost two years of no vacations this is a much awaited trip and for my youngest brother and sister a life time of awaiting since they have never experienced Disneyland. They are 10 and 11 and 7 years ago we adopted them from Russia and they are the best thing that has ever happened to our family, I love them to death and am so excited to watch their faces as they get to experience the happiest place on earth for the very first time. I love you Ana and Austin. Starting count down…21 days.

5am a LOVE, HATE relationship

soulaccess — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 17:14:55 +0000

So my husband and I have been trying to figure out how to make our lives more manageable…and of course this involves a schedule…which can I just say I have a HATE, LOVE relationship with schedules. In some ways they make your lives so much easier and in other ways, ways that conflict with my procrastinating, save it for the last minute, personality, schedules drive me nuts!

However, for the last 3 days I have been getting up at 5am. Now for those of you who thrive on the wee hours of the morning, you might be saying what’s the big deal? But perhaps there are some of you out there reading this that can completely relate when I say, 5am is an ungodly hour!!!! I am not a morning person to say the least, so I really have no idea how I am even functioning at the hour let alone how I function throughout my day, but all that to say my alarm clock now reads 5am. We go to the gym have about an hour work out and then head home where we spend time in our Bibles and then get back together to talk about what God has been showing us, pray and then at 7:15 promptly start getting ready for the day.

Now I obviously described the HATE part of the relationship above, but here is the LOVE part, I LOVE getting my day started on the right foot, excersise is something I have to make myself do and doing it together with my husband is actually quite a bonding experience. I LOVE starting my day off with God and getting to share what I am learning with my husband it helps us connect on a level I don’t think we have before. Its been really healthy for us to make that time a priority in our relationship with God and with each other. I also LOVE providing myself with enough time to get ready in the mornings without rushing to make my breakfast and lunch and I have gotten to work on time every single day this week…which is for sure a good thing.

So all that to say…5am, I HATE it, but I LOVE it.

My Mom Rocks at Photography!

soulaccess — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:12:36 +0000

I just have to say that I love my mom and I think she rocks, this is one of her professional photos that just go accepted onto Istock…which if you didn’t know is a huge deal. I am so proud of her and the way she is tackling this passion of hers and the way she goes after what she wants. I love you mom, keep going!

Questioning God?

soulaccess — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:02:29 +0000

Have you ever questioned God? Have you ever wondered…God what the heck are you up too? Why now God? Really? Like this? God do you really know what you are doing?

What a dangerous game to play! I have been in times of questioning where I have wondered what in the world God was doing. However in the last few weeks I have discovered what an insulting act questioning God is. I read this verse the other day and it said, “Without Faith it is impossible to please God.” Where is my faith when I am questioning God? Really it is a form of unbelief, and worry, which is a sin. How dare I question God, thinking that I know better, believing that He actually might not know what He is doing, God, the all knowing, all powerful, all glorious God of the universe, not knowing what He is doing? Unlikely. I am on a journey to stay in the center of God’s will by just learning to be intimate with Him and stop asking God, is this your will? I read in Oswald Chamber’s book My Utmost for His Highest, that if we are asking God if this is His will for our lives, we aren’t walking closely enough with God. If we are walking intimately and closely with God, we won’t have to ask Him what His will is because we will be so aligned with God and His will, we won’t even know anything different than His will, we wouldn’t dream of choosing anything else. I am determined to stop asking “why”, and “is this right”, and “are you sure”, and “but what about”, and just start living in complete oneness with God directely in the center of His will, becoming more and more like Him.

Joy is in the journey not the Destination

soulaccess — Thu, 29 May 2008 17:05:26 +0000

Well, I haven’t been here in a while sorry ’bout that, life really is a roller coaster, there are ebs and flows, some exciting others not so much, however I am in a very exciting part of my journey. I feel like my passion for soul access is coming alive again, and I am so aware of God’s nudging to pick it back up off the shelf. I am working on getting myself out in front of people and already have my name and info on our ministry network site you can check it out here if you like. This is such an exciting time for me as I continue to trust God and rely on Him to open doors when He sees fit. It is scary and exhilerating all at the same time. I find myself lying in bed at night thinking and dreaming of new ways to invent myself and what I do. Although I have always understood this concept I am truly starting to believe in my heart that the joy is in the journey and never the destination, for once we “arrive” to where we think we are supposed to be, we are always wanting something more or just a little different. But if we can learn to enjoy and cherish the millions of tiny moments in the journey they lead us to our destination, which is complete and fully satisifying JOY. This is where I am learning to be content, in the moments that make up this journey called LIFE.

Halo

soulaccess — Tue, 13 May 2008 17:23:25 +0000

I have this new infatuation with Halo. I can’t stop playing it! I know that might seem weird that I am a girl and that I enjoy playing Halo, but it’s true I do. There is something almost theraputic about shooting a gun that I can’t just explain. I also have found that it has been quite bonding between me and my husband, he thinks its awesome that I play with him, and I get to crawl inside his world and experience true guyness. =) It’s fun, I recommend to every woman, every wife or future wife, play video games with your husband. Seriously try it.
