Wide Open Conversations Ami Shroyer

Have you ever needed to MOVE A MOUNTAIN?

Tragedy came, and left a mountain in your life to overcome?

In this episode, I discuss Grief's mountain to climb, the breath of Hope to provide the strength to face it, with the Life that comes along the journey.

Hope is the bridge from Grief to Life.

Here's to all who have left us a path to follow through the suffering they faced!

Blessings, sojourner.

Today is Michael Shroyer's birthday -- his seventh birthday that we're celebrating without his life here on earth.

This episode will give you a glimpse into the content that is coming soon with the 511 Wholeness Journey, and how YOU can get involved!

Let's get Back to Life!

Sometimes we need to reign in our thoughts, and set the mind on higher things.

A friend who has overcome severe addiction told me that it took him a while to ready his mind for what it would take, and that's a great point!

It's not easy, but is much needed.

Sometimes we can help reset our calm with simple things like making the bed, cleaning out clutter — even one drawer, making the right kinds of foods, calling a friend, or taking a bath. 

In this episode, I share a short clip from a song that I wrote on a kids' worship project. The song is based on Proverbs 3:5-6. In the bridge, I wanted to use my four-year-old prayer "Bless my thoughts, my thinks, and my imaginings..." so I adapted those words to ones that we can all relate to — young and old alike:

Bless my thoughts, my dreams, my imagination.

Step by step, Your delight, Your Creation.

And yes, renewing the mind is something that we will always seek and practice.

It is vital, for what we think, we become.

So set your mind on higher things this weekend.

Join me Tuesday for the next Wide Open Conversation!

When I was a little girl, I would end each prayer with, "And God, bless my thoughts, my thinks, and my imaginings... and Lord, please give me a puppy."

Today, we hear a lot of teaching around MINDSET.

Let's have a conversation about it!

(Ignore the dog noises in the background — clearly, God has answered that prayer time and time again, and I love dogs!)

Guard your heart and mind this week!

You are loved.

Be Love, Beloved.

So much for keeping it to FIVE minutes!

I get excited about Resurrection, and as a follow up to Tuesday's Life to Life Conversation, many friends sent me their stories of struggle with faith during times of tragic loss.

Here is Steven Curtis Chapman's song Rememberer to Remember that I referenced https://youtu.be/pD5Zrh0Zb2w (live) or here https://youtu.be/uJz_rv5qC4s (official studio version)

Happy Weekend - God says, "It is my JOY" as He reconciles His people!

Celebrating and Remembering - The Gift of LIFE!

It's Passion Week! [Passion: endurance through suffering]

I LOOOOOOVE everything about Easter week celebrations.

What Jesus so generously gave in order to bring us out of death and into life deserves to be celebrated year round.

In this episode, I share a secret to living with hope and resilience.

It has everything to do with the power of the Cross, and in its shadow-to-resurrected-power, we find Life and Life again.

Have a beautiful week.

Talk to your kids about the Life and Resurrection of Jesus.

Our minds, our longings, and our suffering find reframe, and seeds of purpose will rise.

XO!
