“I remember the doctor’s face when he came in, he just said in this very calm voice, ‘You have a vertebral artery dissection, which means that you are at serious risk for a stroke. After looking at what we saw, we can’t believe you haven’t already had a stroke…You need to be moved immediately to a hospital with a high Trauma Center.’ “
“I was in the hospital, and that was where God met me and said ‘Look, my beautiful daughter, you need to change. There will not be a third chance. I’m giving you a second chance.’ He gave me the confidence that I was going to get through this.”
“I really began thinking about mindset and looking and learning about the power of our brain, the power of the thoughts that we have on these subconscious levels. Why do we say, I know the right thing to do, but I don’t do it?”
“Our brain is always trying to keep us safe. It’s always advocating for protection.”
“What I love about brain priming is that it is the tool that helps us put God’s promises in our heart in a deep way. It is the tool that allows us to renew our minds. It is the science behind what God has been telling us that He wants for us forever, since he created us.”
“Our brains are neuroplastic, which means they’re continually being shaped with every thought we have. It’s changing. So as it’s changing, that’s hopeful, because that reminds me that God says I can always change and my thoughts can always change.”
“How it works in our mind is that we have a thought, and then an emotion about that thought attaches to it. When that thought and emotion are repeated enough times they become a belief. From that belief, we make decisions. And from that decision, we take actions. Then, the actions create the results. So as God says, ‘We can test and approve what His will is.’ We can allow our actions to be different. We can let the Spirit take over, we can live as children of light, we can love others in the way that He loves us. All of those things require a thought process change deep down underneath. We can’t just try to beat ourselves up into being who we need to be, quote unquote, for Christ.”
“I love learning more and more about neuroscience, because it again just confirms that God is in control.”
“We’ve learned that there are millions of new neurons that are created every morning. So it reminds me of the verse that says, ‘His mercies are new every morning’.”
“This is not a one and done process.”
“Our relationship with God is a continual renewing of our mind. It is a continual refreshing and aligning ourselves with the Spirit, because we live in a world that is bent on corrupting us.”
