Conversations With Carla

Codependency affects every human being. We are discussing what Codependency is and how It dramatically Impacts all of your relationships & holds you back from success.

Are you someone who Is struggling with fear In any area of your life that Is leading you to depression and anxiety? You are at the end of your rope and have no Idea how to move past this and get your life back?

Over the course of life many of us live life in a horizontal vision; walking, thinking, acting, reacting and hoping only on what we can see. Years in our own efforts, leaning into our own understanding. Let's listen in to how we can find a life of living in the vertical finding complete rest and peace.

We find in our world today, that everyone is working harder than ever before, spending more than they make, abandoning who and what they love and turning to devices that are destructive all running in a race in an effort to be FULL AND SATISFIED. Yet even through this enormous effort, we still find ourselves empty and wanting for more. In this devotion let's look at God's glorious promise to fill us up not only to what is necessary but what is overflowing!

There are many seasons of life when we are living in want. Other seasons it may not necessarily material items, but the a desire for revenge on your enemies. Whatever your "want" it's important to know what God has waiting for you in this season. In Psalm 23:5 we are going to look at God's glorious and wonderful promise offered for those who LOVE HIM!

We all started out in life as an infant with something like a pacifier or blanket that comforted us. As we grew older we knew that this item of comfort had to go away, but what never left us was the NEED FOR COMFORT. In this devotion we are going to find out how to find this comfort that David was referring to.

Isn't it amazing what satan can do in our thinking minds when uncertainty looms around us. Within seconds we can go from complete peace terror, panic and rapid heart beat. Do you ever feel all alone in uncertainty of complete darkness and full of fear of the unknown and what is just ahead of you? In this part of Psalm 23:4 we look at what is CERTAIN in the unknown.

Do you know or are you someone who loves to find and take the shortcut to places you are going? Often times these "shortcuts" take us longer to get where we want to go. Today we are going to see how Google Maps on our smart phones are similar to how The Lord our Shepherd can guide us down the right path, getting us where we want to go safely and more efficient.

Over the course of life, we face fierce storms of many kind. You know, the type of storms that are right over your head and your not sure your going to make it through. It's kind of like being outside under a clear blue sky enjoying a beautiful day. Then out of nowhere comes black skies and softball size hail and within minutes everything is broken and destroyed. In today's devotion we are going to take a look at how God our Great Shepherd will RESTORE our souls even in the middle of these fierce storms.

In our time of social media & smart phones that take and share videos, we are able to see more clearly how insane this world has become. If I were to sum up why I think this world is imploding I would say without a shadow of a doubt, everyone is parched, dehydrated and desperately searching for a waterhole to quench their thirst. In this part of Psalm 23 we are going to take a look at what God has to offer those of us so thirsty and looking for anything to quench our souls.
