Parables

My soul quest has led me to Zion National Park, where I have been here for three weeks working, hiking, praying, writing, and soaking in the beauty of Nature like never before! This trip is bridging the gap between what I've been learning and what I've mastered. Everything I've written about on this blog is being […]

  "Who Do You Say I Am?" By: White Dove "You become who you behold," God once whispered into my heart. My gaze so often was focused on negative circumstances, opposition, and oppression in my life.

Just before I lost everything, I kept having dreams of waterfalls… like every night. There was no way to avoid going over the falls. I tried. Every night I would figure out a way to divert myself from the path of certain disaster. I chose quieter streams – they dead-ended and I had to turn around […]

The Accidental Tourist: A Parable By: Susan Deborah Schiller "You've been living as a tourist in the Kingdom of God," said the voice I've learned to trust as my Father God's. It was a dream, but full of truth, what I call a "dream parable". Like an ordinary child, I argued back, "Oh no, that's not […]

She Flew By: Susan Deborah Schiller Why have I attracted sociopaths everywhere I go? What causes them to be drawn to me? So many times I've heard it's because I'm "too nice," "too trusting," and "suffering from low self-esteem".  Over a period of 14 years I have studied sociopaths, up close and personal. I have […]
