We have been doing Kiva.org for almost 10 years now, and a little investment can go a long way. Kiva is an organization that lets you loan money to people in need at no or very low interest, and when they pay you back, you can re-loan that money again.

In 10 years, we have helped 526 people in 54 different countries with micro-loans of $25-250 for a total impact of $52,495! That is truly amazing what a little can do.

This year, my kids and I have read through 100s of profiles asking God, "Who do you want us to help?"

Room to grow: this year I spaced out my turnip plants more to see if I could grow bigger turnips. And it worked! I have fewer turnips but the ones I have look to be much bigger. Maybe less is more? When we have more margin and space in our life the things we are invested in can grow more fully.

Katie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Moody Theological Seminary (May 2025). She works with diverse clients of all ages, including Spanish-speaking individuals, using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) framework enriched with techniques like motivational interviewing. Katie is dedicated to fostering a safe, empathetic space where clients feel valued, find hope, and are empowered to transform their thoughts, emotions, and lives.

Katie also holds a Master’s in Spiritual Formation and Discipleship from Moody, is a pastor’s wife, and offers biblically integrated counseling for clients who desire it, helping them explore God’s role in their healing. Her passion for cultural connection is shaped by her multiethnic family—her husband is from India, and they have two vibrant bicultural children.

Regret and resentment are toxic to your life!

A key to overcoming anxiety and depression is to engage in something inspiring, difficult, and courageous. We live in a tension of danger and courage versus safety and security. When to hold tight and when to go all in. Whether it’s a job, a relationship, an opportunity eventually you have to go in, in the midst of pain.

If your understanding of these two images conflicts, YOU will be in constant conflict. What you wish was true and what really is true will war with one another until you accept the truth. - Dr. Henry Cloud
