Wonders and Miracles

This is part 2 of last week's episode After the Victory with Alyssa Winslow. Today, we get to speak with DC Winslow, Alyssa's husband, about the deadly car accident he experienced as a missionary. An accident that killed his companion and caused DC a traumatic brain injury. The same brain injury Alyssa's daughter Kaya had from their accident. After the wreck, DC had what he thought was a dream of his companion but now he recognizes that it was an actual near-death experience (NDE) where he was outside of his body getting instructions. There were so many miracles that saved DC's life that day and I'm honored to share them with you. He also shares how Ryan, Alyssa's late husband, was directly involved in helping him find and marry Alyssa.

Many years ago, God asked me some questions. Question: "How often do you feed your body?" Answer: "At least three times a day." Question: "How often do you feed your spiritual body?" Answer: "Yikes. Not often enough." It was as though I saw an emaciated body that was starving for nourishment. My spiritual practice deepened at that time. How much spiritual nourishment do you get? What spiritually feeds you?

Kausha knew she wanted more children but her unhealthy body image and practices were getting in the way of that righteous desire. Luckily, she had an inspired friend who helped her realized her unhealthy habits needed to end. As she talked to her husband about having another baby, he reminded her of the "Disneyland rule." (They needed to have an even number of children for everyone to have a ride partner at Disneyland) What this meant for Kausha was two more children. While this felt overwhelming to her, she knew that was her commitment. Miraculously God blessed her with twins and even gave her a divine vision that alleviated all her anxiety about this.

What is the balance between relying on your own strength and resources vs. relying on God? Do you only rely on God after all you can do? Or should you rely on God first to then strengthen you? Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths. What burdens are you carrying on your own right now (relying on your own strength) that you can give to the Lord and let Him help you (relying on God's strength)? How can you invite and include God more in your daily life? What would this look like to involve God in all things?

Today in the United States we are celebrating Presidents' Day in honor of the great presidents who have helped with freedom in our country. Can we be free even if we have outside restrictions placed on us that are out of our control? What does freedom mean in our personal lives? Sometimes circumstances need to change, sometimes it's the change in your mind and heart that changes everything. "The freedom of the mind is the beginning of all other freedoms"-Clinton Lee Scott.
