I have an overactive mind that’s constantly going over and over things. I take deep breaths constantly throughout the day. Surrendering each time praying for peace of mind. Working on artwork that I can just let it flow and develop on its own is healing on so many levels. Turning everything over to God daily. I feel like just did some spring cleaning in my mind. Release all the clutter!
Ruach (pronounced roo-akh) is the Hebrew word for spirit, breath, or wind. When spoken, the word engages one’s breath and lungs. The first mention of Ruach in the Bible is in the very first chapter of Genesis – Genesis 1:2 to be exact:
“Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit (Ruach) of God was hovering over the waters.”
Genesis 1:2 NIV

Once in your lifetime, you may be asked to do some thing you did not think you were capable of doing something that clearly seems inspired by God, even when you had doubts that God exists. As a result, you discover how connected we all are on this journey, called life, and you just might find your faith along the way. This is one of those stories.
This faith based story tells of a young man, Matthew Larson, struggling to understand the purpose and meaning of his life, and what faith is all about. He’s not even sure he believes in God. He has been dealt some tragic events in the past, including helping his alien, father live his final days. Because of those events he has become cynical toward humanity. He holds down a meaningless job, the only bright spot at work is his coworker and friend Jennifer, a young woman, who wants to be more than just a friend.
But it’s after his father dies that Matthew needs a masters visitor Anna and tells him he is needed for an important calling. She calls the missions which are necessary to help others something only he can do.
