Pause. Ponder. Proceed.

2020-05-12T01:03:51+00:00

I'm sitting in a little nook in my basement that I called the resting place. I come here for some quiet and to be with the Lord. I thought this would be a great place to video and share with you my pause, ponder, and proceed that I purposely put into my day.

RELAXED

2020-04-29T15:25:17+00:00

https://youtu.be/SyErR4xTckQ RELAXED? Can you relax? I used to struggle to relax. I had a lot of anxiety and unresolved trauma that I needed to work out. And along the way I came up with an acronym for the word relaxed that helps me do just that.   Remember   Emmanuel   Loves you   Always and eXtravagantly   Every   Day.
