This is Me

 




My name is Alysia Wielinga. I lived in Orangeville Ontario all of my life until a few years ago when my dad got a new job at a Bible Camp in Rosthern Saskatchewan. 

Writing has always been a big passion of mine, it is one of the ways I can escape from reality, and just get my feelings or ideas down on paper. The thing I love most about writing is that there are no rules. You can write about anything and in any way and there are endless possibilities of where you can go. Growing up, I wrote little stories all the time and whatever I was feeling would get put into those stories. A few months ago, I realized that God has given me this amazing gift, and I want to use it in some way for His glory. I have always wanted to use my writing to help, encourage, or change people and what better way to do that than starting a blog! My goal for this blog, is to take my story, my feelings, and my beliefs, to hopefully encourage and help others who may be going through or feeling the same way I am.

A Mustard Seed Faith

Image
Sometimes the most honest prayers we can pray are the ones that sound like "This is hard. I'm scared. Please help" The one thing I knew I wanted to take back as a souvenier from my Israel trip were mustard seeds, to have out as a reminder of what Jesus teaches us about having faith the size of a mustard seed. If you haven't seen a mustard seed, they are so small, you can hardly see just one single seed if it was in your hand. In the bible, Jesus teaches that if we have faith even as small as a mustard seed, we can move mountains, and it will grow just like a mustard seed will, one tiny seed if planted will grow into something so much bigger. Even with such a small amount of faith, we can do so much more then we can imagine, and that is all we need for Jesus to do the work in us and flourish that faith!  I have never understood that illustration more then the past couple of months. When my health started going off the edge and it went from living in pain everyday, to l...

The Holy Land

Image
  A cool breeze gently blowing through my hair, the gentle rock of the boat, the beautiful sunset over the horizon, and the glowing lights all around us beaming off of the cities on the hills. I couldn't put it to words, but the peace that came over me as our boat sat on the sea of Galilee, the same sea where Jesus was on, and it was like I could feel Him there, just as if he was sitting on that boat with us.  Its hard to even begin to explain what it was like to spend 10 days walking through the same places that Jesus did and being in the land where the bible came alive! It was one of the most beautiful, chaotic, calming, exciting places I have ever been too, and without a doubt I would go back in a heartbeat! No matter where we are, we can always feel God, but there is something different about being in His land, where Jesus lived and breathed and died, and I cannot explain the feeling, but it made the whole bible come to life, and in a sense it made my faith more real, bein...

The Body vs the Mind

Image
"My body hurts, and so does my mind, it's a vicious cycle I can not get out of"  "Health is a relationship between you and your body" says Terri Guillemets.  It is so fascinating, how connected our body and mind really are, and I don't think we always realize that. There are so many worldly things that can cause pain and sickness in our bodies, and as much as those things are real and do affect us, people are finding more and more these days that a lot of the problems we have to deal with in our bodies actually comes from our mind and the state it is in. When our minds deal with mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and stress, it can drag our bodies along with it. It is wild how connected they are, two different things that are one, so connected with each other, and so when one is hurting, the other hurts as well. It's amazing the stories I have heard about how people's bodies have healed by healing their mental health first, and takin...
