His Divine Guidance System

Love Songs for the Lord

Saint Theresa's Prayer

May today there be peace within.  May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.   May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.  May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

Cruising the Inland Passage from Healing the Body with Soul (c) 2005 Jaclyn Henderson

Tempered motion now                      turbulence became a                            coherent straight line                                  from what was once mocked.          Dissonance on either side                        hissed for attention,                                      but now the peaceful channel                       has given itself over to a                          gliding time, unharnessed,                   unwitting, uninviting.    

The future disappears with the past        fogged-in or healed now,                       cradled to keep out the deep water.           Only stillness rocks this newborn,               with a gentle slow of rise, fall.

Happy now, with nothing to do                    but glide in, out                                              of reach, sight                                     watching, waiting for this                            new Buddha stirring,                               smiling.

    Wisdom of Heaven God's Home

     "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." (Gen. 1:1)

    "Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey."  (Deut. 26:15)

    "Is not God in the height of heaven?  and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!  Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven" (Job 22:12)

    "For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones." (Isa. 57:15)

    "Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory." (Isa. 63:15)

    "Thus saith the Lord, the heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool:" (Isa. 66:1)

    "Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens, til the Lord look down, and behold from heaven." (Lam. 3:41)

    "But I swear unto you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: That you may be children of your Father which is in heaven:" (Matt. 5:34, 45)

    "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.  But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." (Matt. 10:32)

    "And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my father which is in heaven." (Matt. 16:17)

    "Our Father which art in heaven," (Matt. 18:19, 14, Mark 11:25, 26)

    "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men." (Rom. 1:18)

    "Now the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens:" (Heb. 8:1)

    "And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." (Rev. 8:1)

    "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon: and the dragon fought and his angels.  And prevailed not; neither was their place found anymore in heaven.  And the great dragon was cast out, that old servant, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." (Rev. 12:7-9)

    "And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.  And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.  And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.  And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.  And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.  And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever wotketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."   (Rev. 21: 22-24)

    "And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.  In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.  And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it: and his servants shall serve him:  And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.  And there shall be no night there; and they need no cancle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign forever and ever." (Rev. 22:1-5)

Writing Therapy(TM) is Custom Writing Services in the Field of Faith.                            (c) 2005 Jaclyn Henderson  All Rights Reserved.

Enjoy this passage for Writing Therapy(TM). Links below begin my thoughts for the method surrounding this trademark and a questionnaire I wrote in Naturopathic Medical School for you to show yourself how your alternative therapies are working for you.  Lastly, I wrote a fable, which is one type of literary genre that you may also write for yourself.  Fables are great to write to help you increase faith and I'll post many fable examples from our bible to show you further examples.  I will also post how I utilized writing these genres, so you can do the same thing.

Also, enjoy reading Writing Therapy(TM) Parts I - IV that is offered freely from this website.  There are many chapter ending cues for you to consider and write to move your life ahead with  faith expression.  Living with M.S., which has no cure, I've found that faith expression is great for me to write.  Writing my faith lets me see my faith so I know where I stand with God. 

I don't know if I will publish these next books.  I don't think so, but maybe.  I think I have ended my literary ministry because I don't trust my mind all the time like I used to do.: Writing Therapy(TM) Part V considers the many literary genres you have to choose from to write your story, poem, conversation, etc.  As well, Faith and CAT for M.S. expresses alternative therapies that I've found work for M.S.  These pages are present for you:

The Method

Questionnaire

Herstory Fable

Here is an example of Narrative writing.  These words are in Writing Therapy(TM):

"This Will Be Very Hard for You, But You Can Do This."

"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord."   (1 Cor. 15:58)

     Thus begins my first dialogue with Jesus Christ, our Lord and King.  In  the fall of 2001, I received a telephone call from the receptionist at our HMO, Group Health Cooperative, who said to me, "There are abnormal findings on  your MRI and you have to be seen this afternoon or tomorrow."  So, I called Dick  and told him, and then called back the receptionist and made the appointment.  And then I started to cry.

     "O God, I have a brain tumor.  There's something horribly wrong with me and I'm going to die!" (sob, sob).  Lying on my side in bed, with my knees scrunched up on  my chest, I then felt a hand at the base of my spine.  The hand stayed there and a voice spoke to me, "This will be very hard for you, but you can do this."  I  felt the hand's comforting reassurance for about twenty minutes and then it left.

      The base of the human spine is a very interesting place for this presence (the Lord) to touch me.  Here is the base of the Autonomic Nervous System  (ANS), which houses the nerves of the body in the spine.  The ANS is the base part of  the CNS or Central Nervous System that houses the main nerves of the body in the cranium.  So, the ANS and CNS report all things to the individual.  The Lord chose this place to hold me and for me to report His first verbal presence in my life. 

      The next day I received the M.S. diagnosis from my Neurologist, Dr. Wambaugh (now retired) who said that based on my MRI, I had lived with M.S. since 1991, and that his diagnosis of 1991 was confirmed by other M.D.'s.  So, that was "...all she wrote."

     The voice of the Lord didn't tell me what the problem was.  It was just a  voice of comfort offering me words of consolation, which I have always  remembered.  This presence has returned a few times reminding me what my purpose is (sometimes, due to the M.S., I forget what my  purpose is, but then I remember).  He knows that I will remember, for it is His will that I do. 

     And He knows that my heart is with Him and that I will never speak His words for fame and fortune, but simply to speak for myself and to help others.  And if my words are misconstrued and I'm thought of as just plain nuts, then I need to work that out.  And He knows that I will, for I abide with Him.  He knows that I have something to say to you, which are His words, for I am one of His spokespersons.  Writing Therapy(TM), which this passage is a part, is His will.

     And He has not solved my problems or taken away my illnesses.  This is not His will or my purpose.  He has given me my purpose and He has given this to me because  He knows that I will speak His words no matter what happens to me.  And my stating what has happened to me (His presence in my life, His touching me, His Summons and our daily dialogue) is only thought of by others in ways that others can try to understand, which is not His way, but humanity's way trying to understand what is unbelievable.  Can His words that I speak seem credible to you?

     This is my ministry: stating what the Lord has truly given me to state; seeing that everybody wants a piece of this kind of action and my stating that they cannot have it from me; then their saying that I cannot be believed because only one who makes money is truly believable (is that a crock or what?)  My literary ministry encompasses my own movement past humanity's view of what seems credible.  Humanity's view of credibility is not the Lord's view of credibility and this is where I live.  Let the trumpet sound!   That sound is truly credible as it is heard!

      Looking at what He has given me and what I need to do alone: seeing other peoples' repeated disbelief and my own holding back the truth that I need to speak until I get is just right, I say to you now that what I am stating to you is true.  I speak His word and I have been summoned to do so.

     This true story reminds me of the life of Charles Ives, who was a great 20th Century composer and whose music is now studied in music school (I studied Ives's music).  Charles Ives was a full-time insurance agent, who worked during the day, but at night wrote music.  His music was so new and how Ives wrote what he knew to be true seemed so unbelievable at the time that Ives hid his scores in a shoe box that was found when he died. 

     That's like hiding my light under a bushel—hiding what I have to say to keep the wolves away because I don't believe myself and don't want to appear to be blasphemous because others won't believe me.  Hiding my light shows me that I don't believe that the Lord has summoned me to speak His word.  These words to you now show you that I'm not hiding my light anymore and neither should you!   If my action shows you anything, let it show you what shining the light does!

Cue ~ Write a few pages in your journal [the Writing Therapy(TM) Journal] to inspire belief in yourself.  Think: What does my expression tell me about myself?  What do I hear?  Rest in the assurance that what you hear now will undoubtedly change and grow!  Don't let another's words make you hide your head in the sand.  Abide with the  Lord.  Read what you  wrote, return to this cue later and repeat when you wish.

Do not look for peace and freedom in the outside world.

Real freedom and real happiness are inner states

which are yours when you are in harmony with the divine.

Here are some additional thoughts about this journey I am on:

          Writing Therapy(TM) was first only a faith increase writing style that I trademarked and

developed to allow me personal faith increase in the Almighty.  It was a form of therapeutic

writing that stayed specific to itself as it guided me to believe further in the Lord.  Then, I

saw that this journey had the potential to also offer others faith increase, for here was a

treasure mine of personal reflection and writing "Cues" based on my illness expression that

 inspired faith.  I had only to believe in myself. 

          Writing Therapy(TM) appeared in my mind and heart during a mysterious snail-mail, email

and psychic correspondence I shared with James W. Pennebaker, PhD, which he ended and I

finally heard (the Lord moves in mysterious ways!).  Jamie researched therapeutic writing and

found that "free-write" was the most therapeutc style to do.  So, I moved my learning from

this mysterious correspondence into many different kinds of genre writings, still writing via the

free-write method that offered me further exploration.  Then, I saw that my discovery was useful

for others to share, as it contained a host of God-given writing genres, from which to choose that

inspired personal reflection: non-fiction narrative, fiction story-time, poetry, memoir,

conversation, etc.  Here was personal belief in the Lord all written down that I offer you to do

now.  And I hope other authors take this quest on, to offer what they know that all may also offer

to themselves and others.

          Writing Therapy(TM) is a dream come true.  In its final form, it is a trademarked free

service that is offered only on donation, one-on-one and in group form.  Here is a book that is

available for you to download freely from this site.

          Writing Therapy(TM) speaks of personal belief.  As the bible tells us, "But lay up for

yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do

not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matt.

6:20-21)  

          I've learned these last 2.5 years that I either do it or I don't!  Doing it, I write well each day

and feel very proud that I've done what I set out to do.  Maybe you also need some personal

boosting to set you on the way.  I've found that being with Him shows me the way!  Here is the

beginning of my trademark service for Writing Therapy(TM) that has been built on a

goldmine of  personal patience, trust, forgiveness and peace.

The Gift of Illness         for Heather McHugh from Annunciation, Mystic Songs

Maybe when you find 

the seed I planted 

when the wind swirled red

for then I dug it deep

through curled brown leaves

to plant my longing strong

to be released.

 

Maybe now the trees 

are letting go their green

along the artist's walk

where mists meet

the maker's feet

transform themselves translucent

to release.

 

Maybe then I'll pass this illness

from my lips

to sing my King

and swirl the mists

from longing light to radiance,

from baser hands

to miracles released.

Rules for Being Human

1.  You will receive a body.  You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around. 

2.  You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life.  Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons.  You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.

3.  There are no mistakes, only lessons.  Growth is a process of trial and error experimentation.  The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works."

4.  A lesson is repeated until it is learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it.  When you have learned it, you can then go on to the next lesson.

5.  Learning lessons does not end.  There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons.  If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

6.  "There" is no better than "here."  When your "there" has become "here," you will simply obtain another "there" that will, again, look better than "here."

7.  Others are merely mirrors of you.  You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

8.  What you make of your life is up to you.  You have all the tools and resources you need.  What you do with them is up to you.  The choice is yours.

9.  Your answers lie inside you.  The answers to life's questions lie inside you.  All you need to do is look, listen and trust.

10.  You will forget all this.  (anonymous)

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Heb. 11: 1)

Fragment

An incomplete part of me breaks off                              and goes down the drainpipe without a paddle,               for I have nowhere to go now, except into myself,      newly born again.

Let's start, shall we?                                                    Sing a new song for life is everlasting                             and the legion has one voice that sings in harmony. 

We're an army, this one being,                                        but we're not out just on manuevers.                             Step in line! Be together now, forever and a day. 

You see, the beat of love doesn't die, it goes on...         The heart pumps a venous flow of blood                     back into itself.  Over and over again,                                I flow into me.

It's a sure thing! We can't fall apart,                               just because we left pieces of ourselves out in the rain.   All fragments come together as the Holy Spirit moves.    All is forgiven, all are welcome.

Love the darkness on the path                                      that seems to barr your way                                                                                                  for Love lights the path!

Feed Call , Communion for the Earth  Written 11/03/07                                                                              (How to deal with the ecological crisis we created:)

Press the button and let the cycle turn.  It's unstoppable, this movement towards ignorant climax.  Everybody's doing it, so you can't stop it by yourself, and you can never turn it off.

You're in a hidden, splendid terror that everybody sees, but no one knows how to stop.

What exactly is going on that you don't want to talk about in the illustrious, hidden interior, and why are you suddenly so quiet?  Cat got your tongue, or are you just all dressed-up with nowhere to go?

Looks like you're all dried-up too, so just let it go.  Let go of your addiction to calamity, your expression going nowhere fast. 

He loves you. Get with the program.  Trust the process that you helped to create (own what you've done),        love Him, and weep for joy.
