The Spiritual Discipline of Christian Meditation
Do you know you can deepen your relationship with God through meditation? It’s one of the essential spiritual disciplines that can help you get more out of your Bible study and strengthen your faith.
I began meditating on God’s Word when I bought a One Year Bible back in 2003. The editors of that edition put one verse in bold in each daily reading. I read the passage in the morning and spent a few minutes reflecting on the bold verse. It stuck with me throughout the day…

One day this week, I felt flooded with sudden, negative emotions. An intense few moments triggered feelings of frustration and anger. The old me would have dwelt on this for hours, if not days. But the new me handled it much better than normal.
I have learned through Dr. John Gottman’s teachings that when we are flooded, we don’t act rationally. We can cause problems to escalate in a hurry if we aren’t intentional. But we can stop and take better measures to get our emotions under control.
Part of feeling flooded is processing the rush of adrenaline, the flight-fight-or-freeze hormone, that our body naturally experiences in stressful situations. It takes between 15 and 45 minutes for our bodies to metabolize the hormone and restore it to normal levels. That’s why you need to be proactive when you feel flooded. Thankfully, we have God’s help in that process.
Head over to my guest post at Woman 2 Woman Ministries to learn several proactive, positive things you can do when you feel flooded. Read it HERE.

Sowing and Reaping Righteousness
Have you ever experienced sin popping up unwanted in your life? I think all of us have found ourselves in that spot. However, fewer things will change the way you deal with sin than understanding the principle of “Sowing and Reaping.”
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Galatians 6:7 NIV
As a gardener, I’ve learned that some of the good seeds I plant won’t sprout at all…
