There is an interrogative technique often used in psychology and business called The 5 Whys. The technique is simple. You ask a question and then ask ‘Why?’ five times. It’s a remarkably simple technique which…

Don’t Care and Can’t Care… They’re not the same.
Repeat after me, “I’m not a super-human. I have limits. I matter too. I DO care. I mean well. I just can’t always care.”
People who are in pain are generally concerned with one thing: Relief. They will do what they can to not be in pain. When someone or something is not available, pain may well want to discharge through blame. So when you can’t care, and therefore won’t care, you may hear, “You DON’T care.” In most cases, this is pain talking and looking for some relief; therefore, consideration for you and your scenario is being overruled by their pain and immediate need.
Restoration
March has marked 6 months in this dark hole and the last 3 weeks has been internally painful and deeply insightful as we’ve discovered keys to healing and sustenance. I thought the bankruptcy sorrow of 2013-16 had carved out enough space in my heart, but there were more inner caverns to discover. More treasure to find. More room for joy to be made.

Free Resource – 3D Blessing Worksheet and Scriptures
For some reading this, the idea of praying a blessing over a person may seem new or foreign. Many of us know what it looks like to ‘Bless the meal, and the hands that prepared it’, but hardly know where to start when blessing others. Low and behold, the bible and Judeo-Christian tradition has a strong concept and culture of blessing which is sadly overlooked and missed in many homes and churches today.
Having now shared the message of the Father’s Blessing to hundreds across Australia in past 3 months, I can’t begin to share with you the exciting stories I’ve been told from parents, couples and friends who went out and intentionally pursued others they love to speak a meaningful 3D Blessing over them. It’s so powerful.
