Psalm 1 Prayer

I was reading Psalm 1 this morning, and I wanted to share my prayer with you, so you can pray it too! I am also praying it over your life as well! It actually started out as just my thoughts, and then turned into a prayer :) I focused on the MSG Bible version, which I have uploaded a picture of below. Thank you for reading, God bless!!!

I want to be a blessed person, who does not keep company with sin (don't hang out at Sin Saloon, nor with sinners). I do not want to slink along Dead-End Road, as I want to use this life that God has so richly blessed me with for His purposes; which I know are so much greater than my own! And Lord, please help me not to be a Smart-Mouth, but to use my words wisely - to always build up and encourage others, and not participate in gossip. 

I want to chew on and meditate on your word every day and every night. I desire to be like a strong tree with deep roots, bearing fresh fruit every month for You! Please lead me to streams of water, and may I take the time to rest beside them, so that I may water and nourish my soul with your word, and with time with you. I love the idea of always being in blossom, Lord! Always growing and blossoming like a beautiful flower, so that all the world can see your good works through me, and your strength in my weaknesses!!! Align my hopes, dreams, and desires with Yours, and to Your will for my life Lord. Thank you for your many, many blessings in this life. In Jesus' name, amen!!!

Gua Sha - Looks Bad, Feels Great!!!

Disclaimer: These are not pictures of torture; they are pictures of self-inflicted healing I performed on myself (and it felt great!):

These images might LOOK painful, but they are actually the result of a powerful ancient healing technique called Gua Sha. It is a method of healing that uses a flat or spoon-like tool that is used with lubrication (such as oil or lotion) to "scrape" (Gua) against the skin, typically along the energetic meridians of the body. This produces red and purple petichae (Sha) on the skin, which are areas where the body has stagnation of energy, blood, or heat. Similar to cupping, the scraping action helps to release all the stagnation and toxins, which result in the Sha marks on the skin. These marks are not painful, and I always feel AMAZING once treatment is done!!! This session was done to ward off a bug I felt I was coming done with, and it helped tremendously! I also like to use it to help get my lymphatic system moving, especially during these cold winter months when I am not moving as much as I do in warmer times. I highly recommend it for healing and for general health and wellness!
