Turning Point on Faith By Crystal Lutton
Since birth, I have been going to church with my family, yet, I really didn’t get a personal relationship with God until I was about fifteen years old. I didn’t find God in church. I found Him amidst His beautiful and vast creation. I was standing atop a mountain that overlooked hundreds of miles of other surrounding valleys and mountains. I remember that I was dealing with a time of huge personal development, overcoming tremendous obstacles that seemed to be piling on top of each other. I felt like I was drowning. Suddenly, I looked up and felt this sort of stillness all around me. It was almost like everything and everyone around me stopped, just for a very brief time. I felt like God was reaching out to tell me that He has been waiting for me with open arms because I mean a great deal to Him. I felt—from that moment on—God speaking to me, and I could take on the growth and issues with a newfound strength. This new ability was not something that I myself possessed, it was the knowledge that God wanted to take on the problems—and with my trust in Him—He would carry me through anything. The amount of change and growth that I experienced from that point on was miraculous. I was only fifteen years, but, in only six months, it felt like I had grown to an emotional maturity well beyond my years and experience in life. I started to truly see the whole picture that God was teaching us, His beloved children, when He gave His one and only son to die for us. This picture is known as unconditional love. There is no greater love than what God has for us. Jesus died purely and innocently from our persecutions, and for our salvation. What does this mean? It means that Jesus loves us so much that, regardless of the wicked and sinful natures we possess—and even when we decide to put Him on the cross—He looks at us through His blood-stained eyes and forgives us with great love. His love is so great for us that the pain and suffering He endured into death (for us) was no comparison to the painful tears he has shed from His aching heart for EVERY individual one of us. All He asks of us is to model His actions and teachings. He came on this earth as an example from God, our Father, to show how much He loves us. He came to teach us how we are to love ourselves and one another. Whew, what an overwhelming thought to fathom! However, the hardest dilemma that we have to live by today is applying faith in His Word amongst a world filled with misconceptions on how we’re supposed to live. In today’s society, we are constantly being told to do the opposite of what Jesus told us to do. We are taught that to live fully is be on top, and to work for personal achievements, and not necessarily with regard for others. This completes us and makes us successful, supposedly. What I’ve really learned is that this model of living is an easy way to lure us to turn our eyes away from our Father in living truly to serve Him. However, daily prayer and devotion to interacting with God, which brings us in relationship with Him, is really the key to guiding us through our life’s journey. God wants us to turn to Him for answers. He is always there, but He leaves it up to us to turn around and bring Him into our lives. I encourage anyone reading this to try it. Fully devote some time everyday to talking with God. Seek understanding, even if it’s just to know who He is. I guarantee you will not miss out. By allowing our Father to take part in your life, adventure and true living will begin. I promise.

Spirit & Passion Tools for Courageous Leadership
All laws are in harmony, related to and corresponding with each other. Therefore, as energy is, nothing is good, better, or best until it is compared to a form of reference. There is always a reference in the universe. We refer to it as keeping it all in perspective. As the sun gazes through the skiies to nourish and warm our planet, we can take comfort in the absoluteness of the universe. It provides us constantly with all that we need and desire from which to measure and compare. Frequently, this measuring reference is a natural landmark such as the sun, moon, or the North Star. Scientific inquiry can reveal others such as the equator or the Arctic Circle. Many reference points are arbitrarily decided by world leaders to provide an orderly framework for human activity. These include zero longitude being at Grenwich, England, the modern calendar dated forward or backward from the approximate birth of Jesus of Nazareth, and time zones that are generally agreed upon at state, province, or country borders. However, relationship and spiritual reference points are harder to define, and may need to change over time, as we are confronted with new knowledge. This requires an open mind and an understanding of reference points, without necessarily becoming permanently attached to our perception of the relationship. Indeed, can we also choose to keep our spirits flourishing by getting into the habit of always relating our situation to something better than something worse? In this frame of mind, might we not remain in a steady state of gratitiude, continually drawing the good that we desire and deserve from God and the universe? Again, if energy just is, does it not—by law—follow that we have boundless opportunities to our avail, regardless of the relative state of life's appearance in form? Will not our spiritual nature always guide us in the direction that manifests our needs and fruits? How do you tap into this law in lifting your spirits and tapping into your impassioned being? Now, go out, spark your passion, and begin making your dreams come true!

Cooking Passions Recipe for Homemade Pumpkin Pie Steve's Tip™: While you have homegrown pumpkin filling available, you can create a host of seasonal treats. Now that we have prepped our pumpkin pulp (see previous article on prep for pumpkin pulp), we are ready to create a totally homemade pumpkin pie. By the way, I like to freeze the excess pumpkin in premeasured pie-sized packets. When it's time for pie, simply thaw out the packet and prepare. Now, let's make our pie.
