My name is Mims Driscoll and I am a co-director of Stir The Water Ministries. We endeavor to walk alongside people to equip them to interpret dreams in a Christian and biblical manner, to empower people to understand how they are wired spiritually; so as to be able to function within the Seer lifestyle where the senses are both alive and experiencing spiritual realities, and to create safe and nurturing places where people who walk with the spirit can have a vibrant community to belong to and participate within. We are a global, online community that has been in existence since 2005.

Within my personal journey and as a result of a horrible car accident, I entered into this place of "forced" rest. I would have never had the discipline to choose such a thing. But have been grateful for the lessons I have learned. With so much physical limitation, I remembered back over two decades ago from when I was first saved. I loved Brother Lawrence's Practicing the Presence of God and the writings of Madame Guyon. In these moments I bumped into the writing of Frank Laubach. He wrote magnificently about inviting God into each moment of your day.

He endeavored to fill every moment with the thought of God. He wrote, "All who have tried that kind of abiding for a month know the power of it --- it is like being born again from center to circumference." I didn't plan it this way, but tomorrow; April 28th will be one month from where I saw that quote. It has been a month of physical weakness but interior growth. I have watched my soul be fashioned and formed into the likeness of Christ, as I spent the time to remember to invite Him into each moment. Into the moments where weakness and loneliness and pain tried to steal my peace, I would pray the simplest of prayers and remember Him and call Him to be in the moment with me.

I am so excited to begin the journey of this seminar with you! Starting tomorrow, Monday, April 28th at 9:30am (est) we will be online together seeking our Lord's face and His presence and discovering more of who we are as His sons and daughters.

I will post the video of the session by the evening.

Many blessings upon you. We are praying for you as we journey into this time of discovery together...

With Love,

Mims

One of my Favorite Narnian Quotes...

“One word, Ma’am,” he said, coming back from the fire; limping because of the pain. “One word. All you’ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn’t wonder. I’m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won’t deny any of what you said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things – trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that’s a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We’re just babies making up a game, if you’re right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world that makes you real world hollow. That’s why I’m going to stand by the play-world. I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t any Narnia. So, thanking you kindly for our supper, if these two gentlemen and the young lady are ready, we’re leaving your court at once and setting out in the dark to spend our lives looking for the Overland.

A Brilliant Quote from Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,

but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?"

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightening about shrinking

so that others won't feel unsure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us; it is in every one.

As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
