You know Jesus, but are you experiencing his peace in your daily life?

Are you overwhelmed and inundated by challenges that make you feel trapped, confused, or frustrated? Are you worried about the planet? Politics? Problems closer to home—like an aging parent, a loved one with mental illness, financial challenges, health problems, anxiety?

I’ve had my share of sleepless nights, worried about the future, unable to shut off my mind. I know what it’s like being constantly anxious, feeling stuck in fight-or-flight mode.

Stress-induced irritability sent me on a quest for peace. I pled with God for answers. “Change my heart. Heal my mind. Fill me with your love!”

God led me on a bread trail to the answers. As I spent more time in nature, learning about plants, birds, pollinators, and working alongside my husband to heal our property, Mother Earth became my sacred tutor. In God’s creations, I began to see, hear, and find his peace everywhere.

The Lord also led me to a scientific and psychological approach to finding peace. Although it's human nature for the mind to go into overdrive, searching for solutions, it isn’t meant to be in charge. It’s a tool designed to implement plans created by something deeper, more knowing, than the mind.

Through a combination of prayer, Scripture study, nature observation, meditation, and scientifically proven tools, I discovered my core sacred self, the part of us that is made in God’s image. I came to understand what Jesus meant by “The Kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21). It’s the light given to everyone who comes into the world (John 1:9).
