A conversation how Alzheimer's taught Marilyn how to love, how to receive love, and the beauty that life holds when we embrace this simpler life. She talks how she despised that she was the "chosen one" to be her mother's caregiver, yet how it changed her life. She wishes everyone could experience this, so she wrote a book so they could through her journey!! Enjoy the conversation :)

"Marilyn Raichle, founder of The Art of Alzheimer’s and Executive Director of Maude’s Awards for Innovation in Alzheimer’s Care. Marilyn's mother, Jean McFee Raichle, like many people in her family, lived with Alzheimer’s in her 80’s.

Just some morning thoughts...

Saving Abigail is a true story about a little girl taken hostage by Hamas the morning of October 7, 2023, after thousands of terrorists breached Israel by land, sea, and air. That day, Hamas slaughtered 1,200 men, women, and children, and 246 innocent people were dragged across the border into Gaza against their will. Among them was three-year-old Abigail Mor Edan.

Shanelle interviews Abigail's great aunt, Liz Hirsh Naftali, who advocated for the Hostage Families, and is the author of 'Saving Abigail'.

"Right now I can hear God laughin' Guess he must have heard my plans and my hopes, thought it was a joke, Gave me more than I could ask...

"You didn't even try to navigate your emotions- If your heart was beating with anxiety or excitement,  You embraced it. Trust the process.

The night didn't go as expected. But as you walked, you took it all in.

You felt like the outcast- But your heart was full.

This was the perfect night. Not becasue it was glamorous. Not because it was extravagant.

But because you had let go of expectations.

Because you had allowed yourself to be free and spontaneous.

And in that, you had found magic."

"Sometimes life is disappointing. And you make peace with that. You could see people inside, the music blared. They were drinking, dancing, laughing. It looked like they were having frun because they were drinking. Not because they were happy..." (Meet Me at Midnight, Shanelle A., Pg. 58)

An honest conversation about how we are all in the same boat. We choose joy or despair. Gratitude, or envy..

We always want to know what our god-given talent is when we naturally seem to slip through the cracks. The lie we tend to believe is that it will come easily, when being great is never easy. However, I believe it will bring us energy. It will instil in us this spirit that charges us, rather than drains. These are one of the greatest gifts life can bring us... but a lot of us are too 'busy' to ever tap into our unique calling, 'busy' trying to forge someone else's gift...

Do we deserve a life of ease? Peace? Are we entitled to it?

Walking through seasons of grief, despair, loneliness, loss, can lead us through dark valleys, but God is willing to walk with us there...

Touching on the book's theme of Faith vs Fear, or Hope vs Anger. Taking the trip, instead of victim mentality to life. 

An awakening on Saturday, was at a funeral of a 17 day young year old. We talk in the podcast episode on perspective, and what a life of faith entails, and its challenges.

"As you walk toward the main area, three ladies step out from behind the desk, bowing slightly as you approach.

"Sawadeeka!"

Your awkward self looks at the driver, unsure how to respond. Thankfully, he gracefully motions to show you what to do. He teaches you it's called a 'wai' - a traditional Thai greeting you'll soon come to recognize. You drop your bags, press your hands together, and tuck your chin in, maybe a little too much, trying to hide a cheeky smile. You pick up your bags again, feeling like you wasted their time, and continue forward."

"Realizing that you would spend the majority of this trip staring into broken glass and fogged film - your reflection always fractured. Dirty glass, warped mirrors, unable to see yourself clearly enough to pick yourself apart.

Full of imperfections. James talks about the mirror."

(Meet Me at Midnight, Pg. 30, Shanelle Ann)

We can deceive ourselves into tuning into our capabilities, then walking away, immediately forgetting what we were destined for, made in the image and likeness of the Divine.

The Earth revolves around the Sun, not the other way around.

Ruth was already the lowest... in Israeli standards. So, it was more natural for her to humble herself to glean in the field. Naomi was a work in progress. But, because of Ruth's ability to PASSIONATELY wake up in the morning, amongst grief, able to choose DISCIPLINE, over self, because she had no choice, she saved Naomi. This faith had an ending of being redeemed, but Ruth didn't care. She would be happy existing in a community of someone who had a thread of someone she loved. Her husband was her love, and lived her whole life grieving his death, yet there were blessings on the journey. One step after the other. If she lived for his purpose, then he would be with her wherever she went. 

LOVED this meditation.

God bless.

God wants more for us. So, sometimes he has to take away the 'artificial' security, of comfort, for us to realize we were built for more. He wants a refuge for us that isn't temporary. He wants a life for us, where we are the superheroes of our day n age. He wants to give us a purpose beyond ourselves, so our demons don't choke us out. 

He knows what we need, but if we choose him always, he doesn't have to take away. He wants to want what we want. He wants our desires to be aligned. Judges is him trying to get them to recognize their safety and security is found in something that will let them down. He is trying to not only protect their hearts, but strengthen them, so they are immoveable. 

God bless.

Addictions come with Demons that are inexplainable. They seem inescapable, and some people never do escape them. Mental illness also falls in this category; anxiety and despression are a prison. Our minds are in bondage. In Christ we are set free. Exodus talks about God saving the Israelites, both physically, and then there is a whole wilderness phase of forty years, getting their old ways out of their mental state, so they could TRULY be at peace, set free.

• Getting out of our Environment PHYSICALLY. New Environment.
• Baptism into Christ, a New Life. Transforming your Mind to being Set Free.
• The Gospel of Liberty
• At first, it may feel opposite of free, dreaming of the positives of your past life. Only thinking on the good, forgetting the tribulation and poverty.
• The wilderness is tough, it's submitting to the unknown. But surrendering to that, overtime, we can be yolked to Jesus, and come to know His Yolk is Easy and His burden is Light.
• Exodus is the Journey of the Unknown. The unfamiliar peace, with the pull to go back to the familiar abuse. It's not worth it. Have Courage to Surrender to the Unknown. This is FAITH.

"You cannot find peace by avoiding life." (Virginia Woolf)

Isaiah 9:6 prophecies a child that will be born, who will be called Prince of Peace. We don't expect our saviours, our warriors, to come naked, afraid, a child. Sometimes we expect our answers that are predictable to us. We talk about how we can reject peace without realizing it, because it doesn't fit our mold of what we think should happen so that peace may abound. Peace is following Jesus, not earthly possessions, not lack of adventure. Our biggest fears sometimes are the doorway that peace can come through, to realize that we can go through absolutely anything, we will be okay, because a bigger purpose at hand.

"Endurance develops every time you reject the temptation to give up." (Rick Warren). If we keep giving up, life will be a constant cry. If you don't give up, in the face of suffering, then piece by piece you will create the endurance that suffering can't bring you down for long, because you have built your character of strength. This will introduce to us hope, because God always pulls through, giving us the strength we need.

The concept of timidity is often viewed as a negative trait, one that is not aligned with the qualitites that are associated with godly attributes. Timidity may hinder one's ability to fully embrace these divine qualities of power, love and self-discipline.

Shanelle Ann hosts her meditation Podcast, posting weekly. Meditating on God's word, from a psychological perspective.

In this episode, we talked about:

-Spirit of Fear, anxiety, timidity is NOT of God. If it isn't of God, it must come from a place of pride, ego. 

-With God, we can boldy go out, powerfully, love without hesitation, and take control of our own lives. 

-Danger of reading Humility and believing it to be Timidity. Humility is a characteristic of strength, not weakness. Being timid is fear-based-living. With God, we have nothing to fear. 

-So, daily take up your cross. Heavenly treasures, no man can take away.

Pain is an inevitable part of the human experience. Whether physical or emotional, pain can be overwhelming and debilitating. Despite this, it is important to remember that even in our moments of deepest suffering, we can still find reasons to give thanks and worship God. This act of faith can bring solace and strength during times of adversity.

Samson's life was marked by hardship and heartbreak. Despite facing numerous challenges, he remained steadfast in his faith and trust in God. His love for a woman ultimately led to his downfall, but even in the midst of betrayal, he never lost sight of his beliefs.

Paul's role as a messenger of these mysteries serves as a reminder that God's plan is not limited to one group or nation. It is a universal message meant for all who are willing to listen and learn. By sharing these mysteries with Israel, Paul is helping them to see beyond their previous limitations (Blindness) and embrace the fullness of God's character, overflowing in love and grace.

The story of Noah and the ark is not just a tale of survival, but a profound symbol of God's mercy and grace towards humanity. Through Noah's obedience, God provided a way for salvation amidst destruction, foreshadowing the ultimate redemption that would come through Christ centuries later.

The phrase The only way to receive life is to lose it is a powerful reminder that sometimes we have to let go of our preconceived notions and expectations in order to truly experience all that life has to offer. By releasing our attachments to material possessions, societal pressures, and other distractions, we can open ourselves up to new possibilities and opportunities for growth, for life. This is found in JESUS.

The turning point for Abraham was when he made the conscious choice to believe without reservation. From that moment on, his decisions were quick and decisive, free from doubt or hesitation. This shows us that we too can reach a point of unwavering faith, not through our own efforts but through God's transformative power.

It is important to recognize that generosity does not necessarily mean giving away material possessions or resources. True generosity stems from a genuine desire to support and uplift those around us, whether through acts of kindness, words of encouragement, or simply being present for someone in need.

Embracing Unity and Harmony. The analogy of the body used in 1 Corinthians 12 highlights the importance of unity and harmony among believers. Just as each part of the body has its own function but works together seamlessly for the greater good, so too should we strive to work together in harmony with our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. When we come together in unity, we can create a beautiful symphony that glorifies God.

God Bless.

Heart vs Ego: God wants our hearts and spirits, not our egos, when it comes to giving. This reminds us to check our motives when giving and ensure that it is coming from a place of love and compassion rather than seeking validation or recognition. True giving comes from the depths of our soul, the overflow of the grace he has watered down on us time and time again.

YouTube Video posted about how to know if you should get baptized. Here is a full Podcast of my Perspective.

I truly believe there is so much good in each person on this planet. But if nothing sparks it, they never know God, they won't ever step into their whole selves in fullness. SO, this podcast is for those who have made messes, screwed up time and time again, to know that if they choose to let God's love in, he can shine through those messes. He can pick up the pieces. Pouring compassion into these moments is the best thing you can do for yourself so that this compassion overflows in your walk with others. We only know how to comfort with the comfort we have been shown. SO LET COMPASSION IN AND LET THIS OVERFLOW INTO OTHERS, walking forward loving God and loving others.

The story of Moses I never knew.

God bless xx
