Overview: A grief that knows no boundary. A love without any limit. A need that doesn’t end at death.

Corrie Saunders grew up in a life of privilege. But she gave it all up for Jarrod, her Army husband, a man she knew was a hero when she vowed to spend her life with him. She just didn’t expect her hero to sacrifice his life taking on an Iraqi suicide bomber.

Six months after Jarrod’s death, Corrie retreats to the family home her husband inherited deep in the Missouri Ozarks. She doesn’t know how to live without Jarrod—she doesn’t want to. By moving to Saunders Creek and living in a house beloved by him, she hopes that somehow her Jarrod will come back to her.

Something about the house suggests maybe he has. Corrie begins to wonder if she can feel Jarrod’s presence.

Jarrod’s cousin Eli is helping Corrie with the house’s restoration and he knows that his dead cousin is not what Corrie senses. Eli, as a believing man and at odds with his mystically-oriented family members, thinks friendly visits from beyond are hogwash. But he takes spirits with dark intentions seriously. Can he convince Corrie that letting go of Jarrod will lead to finding her footing again— and to the One she can truly put her faith into?

Clear Your Clutter To Free Your Mind....

Do you often find yourself not answering the door or hiding when a person drops by at your house unannounced because you are ashamed by all of the mess? Do you feel embarrassed to invite someone over your home because of the clutter that has accumulated and piled up so much? If you are like anyone I know, when you start to look all around at all the mess and clutter in your house, you feel exhausted and cannot find the needed energy to clean and clear it away. It just keeps on collecting dust and each time you stare at it, it makes you all the more tired and listless and you do not even know how or where to start.

Well, believe it or not, but the most powerful and effective change you could bring about in your life is to eradicate and get rid of all the clutter surrounding you. Most individuals have really no idea how much their clutter truly affects them. It’s only when you begin to clean it out of your system, you would then realize how much better you can feel without the burdened eyesore brought about by the mess. The thing is that energy is everywhere around us, every thing is energy, even all your material possessions and acquisitions, though they are just seemingly inanimate objects, all have energy.

All our things and possessions are believed to hold our connections and memories in our life. In other words, if you have material things that you no longer use, need or want, they are tying and holding on to our energy, thereby creating and emitting inactivity in the energy of your atmosphere and surroundings. When disorder abounds all around you, it is becoming more and more impossible to think clearly about what you are doing in your life. However, you could think more with a clear mind and making important decisions become easier when you clear all the clutter away.

Most individuals who have disorder in them always feel tired. They say that they have no energy at all to start to clear it. Yet in fact, it is the stagnant energy that piles up and accumulate around the mess that actually causes lethargy. Finally clearing it frees and releases the energy at your house and gives off new and abundant mental and physical liveliness and aura in your body. If your thinking has a tendency to dwell in the past, you may get caught up in the ongoing problems and difficulties in your life. Having your space full of unnecessary clutter leaves no room for anything or something new to welcome into your life.

Clearing and getting rid of the clutter let you deal with those problems and move onwards. You have to let go of the past to make a new and better future. People treat you the same way you also treat yourself. And if you value and look after yourself, you would also be treated well by other people. At the same time, being surrounded by clutter could also affect the way other individuals treat you. And if you let clutter to stack up all around you, you might attract people whom you will be better off without.
