I PROMISE!!! I did not mean to ditch ya’ll for the past 22 months! I am sooo sorry… you have to forgive me… you just HAVE to! ‘Cause I was a little busy launching a whole new life!
Let me try to give ya the “Reader’s Digest version” of what has happened since my last post.
We’ll, …I looked into becoming a Hypnotherapist. I just KNEW I needed to help others after receiving such a life altering healing from just ONE session! However, the more I looked in to it, the more I realized, changing it as much as I asked my friend to do with me, would keep me from being able to actually use the certification I would spend so much time and money on acquiring. I was definitely discouraged. Which turns out, is a great place to be. If you’re determined, but discouraged… lean into that. Could be God pulling you toward Himself and His will for your life!
In my frustration, I prayed. I trusted. I waited… I was still. I was still, and knew God was sovereign and that He would give me the next step. So, a few weeks later, I was painting in my driveway and searching for some ear candy. I wanted to plug my earbuds in and listen to the sweet sound of Scripture. I wanted someone to just read Scripture, really anything, thought provoking, meditational… in fact, I think I typed in ‘meditative scripture’ into the search bar of my podcast app. About the fourth one down on the list was a white square with the words “Grace Wellness” on the front. The word, wellness, stood out to me. So I tapped. The episode was the first of a 3-part series interviewing Sarah J. Thiessen. Wasn’t anything like what I was searching for, but I was invested to say the least.
Sarah is the Author of Splankna [spläwnk•nuh], The Redemption of Energy Healing for the Kingdom of God, and the creator and developer of the Splankna Protocol. I listened to all three episodes while I painted. It was as if Sarah had my list in her hand of reasons why I couldn’t practice Hypnosis. She was explaining why the Splankna Protocol is exactly what I was looking for, and just about what my friend had done, after I asked her to alter her method for me and brought her within Biblical boundaries. By the time I finished the last one, I had already ordered that book and the next one titled, UpperDogs, written by Sarah and her client/bestie/now practitioner and co-author/developer of the Splankna Protocol, Heather Hughes. I hope I got that right!
As soon as I cleaned up my painting mess and washed my hands I was searching the web for dates and times for the next training session. As luck… I mean, God, would have it, not only had He been clueing me in on this over the past 3 years through my cousin/bestie, who had been sharing her experience with me as a client, but He also planted the Splankna Institute in my home state of Colorado! After a deep-dive (borderline-stalker-level), I found that Sarah was connected to the Bible Camp I have known and loved my whole life! It was the confirmation I needed. I really felt the hand of God embracing mine as I took one step after the other in this pursuit…okay, maybe not the stalking part!
Two months later, November 2019, I was sitting in a hotel banquet hall in front of a big white binder surrounded by a room full of Core Level trainees. I followed up with Advanced Level Training in February, 2020, just before the world closed down but still managed to get all my hours done by October to become certified and attend Master’s Level Training in November, 2020!
I opened my very own location to see clients and God has blessed me with so many people to help! I’m beyond amazed at what all He’s done with me in the past two years!
