3/1/13 ENERGY ALERT  Emotions and creativity have been moving from one extreme to the other. The contrasts in this movement of thoughts and emotions have possibly resulted in unforeseen arguments or relationship misunderstandings. Feelings have been on high alert and being oversensitive to the actions or words of others caused temporary anger or confusion. Mentally being overwhelmed by the” Too Syndrome” . It’s too quiet, it’s too loud, it’s too bright it’s too dark, it’s too easy , it’s too difficult…  the nagging sensation pursued us into a fatique . Just when we thought enough, the energy calmed allowing us to relax. And Then … around 1:00 am to 4:00 am on the 27thof February for most of us: Sleep was interrupted with what felt like bolts of electricity continually zapping and altering hypothalamus, the mood manufacturing segment of the brain.  These energetic downloads may leave residual coughing spells, shortness of breath, heart ache and heart burn.  Allowing the energy of the Holy Spirit to work with you your feeling of focus and personal power has returned. Confidence is taking the place of doubt. You experience moments when there is an understanding of how God has worked through your brokenness. The realization is slowly turning into acceptance as you begin a process of seeing the positive results of your painful experience(s).     Copyright Notice: All articles and photographs and logos on these pages are the sole copyright of Patrina Rutherford-Vickers © 2013.
