Sapphire is exceptional for calming and focusing the mind, allowing the release of mental tension and unwanted thoughts. It encourages opening the mind to beauty and intuition, bringing lightness and joy as it restores balance within the body.
White Sapphire helps one to recognize and access their talents and to use them in pursuing their life’s work. Wearing White Sapphire enhances the qualities of fairness, objectivity, morality, and freedom from greed. It also assists in breaking self-defeating habits or behaviors that impedes spiritual progress.
White Star Sapphire is a token of pure and lasting love without conditions. It is excellent for exchange by first lovers who have had to give up everything for each other, and for marriage in later years, especially following the loss of a partner to avoid feeling second best. It also discourages jealousy of earlier partners in re-marriage.
Star Sapphire, especially in paler shades, is a symbol of wise and honest leadership, and a good stone for businesswomen and female entrepreneurs who wish to succeed without compromising integrity. It is also an ideal tool for anyone needing assistance in grounding their ideas into reality and who requires extra energy to bring things through to completion.
As a professional support stone, Sapphire provides awareness of higher principles in archeologists and historians, stimulates the mind and wisdom in executives, ministers and writers, and increases discernment and good judgment in journalists and lawyers. Because of its hardness (second only to Diamond), Sapphires are used in industrial applications such as components for watch crystals and movement bearings, scientific instruments, high-durability windows, and insulating substrates in special purpose solid state electronics.

The real Christian journey is radically different to what is usually seen as religion in the world's churches. That is because the real journey is not one of principles and laws to be applied to life and rigidly trying to adhere to such. That is human effort and a recipe for failure. The real walk with Jesus is intimacy and surrender to a very relational and personal God. Jesus makes 'known and exhibits to His servants what must soon come to pass'. He shares some really amazing things when He is allowed to. Like it says here, 'the predictions, consolations, and warnings contained in this little book (the Bible),' are all available in communication with Him.
My mind used to be filled with such a lot of rubbish from my childhood, youth and adult life. By the time I reached my mid thirties I was a very disturbed and dysfunctional person. My soul (mind, will and emotions) was overwhelmingly anxious and afflicted. It was the Word of Truth, the powerfully miraculous and awesome experience of allowing the Spirit of the Lord to come and transform my muddled mind. I now have such clarity and discernment, peace of mind and purpose. No drugs (medication or narcotics), no alcohol, no depression, no anxiety, no turmoil or dysfunction. Just a calm steady flow of beautiful thoughts from a mind set free and focussed. All I had to do was give up, let go and let God do a perfect work in me. Now I love that place of vulnerability.

So I'm bad at this uploading everyday thing, so it'll come as it comes.
I found my dream house the other day. Its exactly everything I've ever imagined I would want, its perfect. Its blue and white, has a built in photography studio, a guest house out back, a porch and a white picket fence.
But it is so far out of my reach.
1 Kings 3:5-13
5 At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, "Ask for whatever you want me to give you."
6 Solomon answered, "You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David, because he was faithful to you and righteous and upright in heart. You have continued this great kindness to him and have given him a son to sit on his throne this very day.
7 "Now, O LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. 8 Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. 9 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?"
10 The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. 11 So God said to him, "Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, 12 I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. 13 Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for—both riches and honor—so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings.
