“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” Ecclesiastes 3:11
A friend doubles your joy and halves your sorrows. (Old Proverb)
Trauma occurs when a person experiences a tragic happening, and they have NO place to take their pain. So, the feelings get frozen because they have no place to go except suppressed, repressed, hidden, gone, gotten rid of, disassociated from.
Intuition + Suspicion + Questions = Discernment
Intuition is God-given. It is a sense of what is going on around you.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Our most powerful needs are belonging and mattering.
“Needs of the Heart” by Dr. Chip Dodd, Chapter 9 “Guidance,” Page 51
Impoverishment is not knowing your heart and not being able to connect with yourself, others, and God.
We come out of the womb looking for who is looking for us.
“The Voice of the Heart” by Dr. Chip Dodd
We are born with 2 primary needs: the need to belong and the need to matter.
The need to belong is the need to be accepted as I am created.
The need to matter is to be valued for what I bring to creation.
