They smiled like the sun—
but their eyes?
Their eyes held rain.
A storm, tucked behind
a practiced refrain.
They laughed at the joke,
but the silence screamed louder. some battles are fought in the quiet corners
of a broken heart.💔
You passed them by—
a nod, a wave,
not knowing how close
they stood to the grave.
The edge of giving up.
The edge of fading out.
The edge of I don’t know how much longer I can do this. And all they needed—
Just a hug.
Not grand.
Not loud.
Not bold.
Just arms that say,
“You’re not alone.”
So next time you see someone pulling away,
shrinking inside themselves,
wearing a smile like armor—
remember: some pain wears a mask called “I’m fine.”
And maybe—just maybe—
your kindness,
your presence,
your hug
could be the light✨❤️‍🩹✨
they didn’t know they were waiting for.

The bereavement Journey has no time limit. There is no simple steps to follow. I pray you have somebody to sit with you and listen. To just be there in that hard space with you. My heartfelt prayer for all going this deeply difficult journey. May the Lord bless you,
in this valley of sorrow—
holding you close when words fail, and keeping you through the long nights and quiet mornings.May the Lord make His face shine upon you—
even when the world feels dim—reminding you that His love has not left,
and His grace still flows, even through tears.May the Lord be gracious to you—
gentle with your broken heart, patient with your questions,
and near to your pain, as only He can be.May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you—
seeing you fully, knowing your grief, and never turning away.And may He give you peace—not the kind that denies sorrow,
but the kind that walks with you through it.
The peace that whispers, ‘You are not alone,’
and slowly, tenderly, begins to heal.”

When someone has been hurt, even small triggers can feel like heavy blows. That’s why kindness, patience, and safety are so crucial. Healing isn’t about pretending; it’s about learning to feel safe in your own skin. You’re not broken; you’re a human being learning to connect, heal, and grow. We can be the safe place—not to “fix” them, but to remind them with our presence that they are safe now. Healing takes time, so be gentle❣️🙏

Praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of COMPASSION and the God of all comfort, who compassionately comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can compassionately comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

The world outside is but a mirror,
Reflecting what’s buried deep within.
Not random winds that steer your fate,
But ancient thoughts beneath your skin.Beliefs unspoken, patterns rehearsed,
Script your days in silent verse.
But shift the lens and tune the mind,
And watch your outer life unwind.We chase control in things we see,
Yet all along, the key’s in me.
Your thoughts—the brush. Your mind—the hue.
Paint the world, then walk it through.

If you’re holding your breath, so am I. Let it go so we can both breathe better.

Imagine the quiet of the paddock, the soft nuzzle of a trusting horse, and the gentle reminder that healing isn’t a solo journey. In the mirror of equine assisted counseling, you’ll discover resilience you never knew you had and learn to ride the waves of potential that lives in you.

When life presses down through grief, shame, fear or exhaustion our heads naturally hang low. But Psalm 3:3 reminds us that God doesn’t just protect us; He restores us. He is not only our shield in battle but the One who gently lifts our chin and says, you are not forgotten. You are mine. When David was Betrayed, hunted, and heartbroken, he still declared: “But You, O Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.” That’s not denial—it’s defiant hope. It’s the kind of faith that says, even here, even now, even in this! God is with me.

“Behind strong people there is a story that gave them no choice!” (Paulo Coelho)

Strength is often mistaken for something innate, as if resilience is simply a trait some are born with.
But behind every strong person, there is a story—a story that gave them no other choice. Strength is not just built; it is forged in the fire of solitude, in the silence of battles fought alone, in the weight of burdens carried with no one to lighten the load.

Many will see the strength, but few will understand the suffering that shaped it.
They will admire the unshakable presence, the unwavering resolve, yet remain unaware of the nights spent breaking before rebuilding.
They do not know the moments when giving up felt easier, when hope was a distant flicker, when the world seemed unbearably heavy.
True strength is not loud; it is the quiet endurance of someone who has stood in the storm, felt its fury, and learned to walk through it anyway.

So when you see a strong woman or a strong man, do not assume their path was easy.
Know that their resilience was not a choice, but a necessity. And if you, too, are walking through fire, know this:
you are not weak for feeling the weight of it.
You are becoming.
And one day, your strength will be the story someone else needs to hear.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

I want to emphasize the importance of ending the stigma surrounding mental health. Too many people suffer in silence because they fear being judged or misunderstood. That has to change.

Whether you’re a student, parent, first responder, service member, or a neighbor your mental health matters. There is no shame in asking for help, taking a break, or reaching out.

As we walk in our divine purpose, let's not forget that our identity and worth come from the One who called us, not the calling itself. Have you ever found yourself so passionate about your work that you lost sight of the One you're serving? Every calling is an opportunity to express our love for God and others through the gifts He's entrusted to us. The work we do is a reflection of our devotion to Him, and it's essential to remember that our occupation is not our identity. When we keep our eyes fixed on our Assignor, we'll find motivation, fulfillment, and satisfaction in our work. But when we allow our work to define us, burnout is inevitable. We are worthy because we belong to Him, not because of what we do. Remember, your calling is a sacred trust, but it's not more important than the One who entrusted it to you. When we prioritize our assignment over our relationship with the Jesus, we miss the point.

In my life, I’ve learned that motherhood is a beautiful tapestry of different experiences. Every woman’s journey is uniquely woven with purpose and passion. Whether you’re a biological, adoptive, or spiritual mother, new mom, a mom who’s waiting, praying, longing, or grieving—God’s love envelops you, and He hears your heartfelt prayers. He is your constant companion through life’s joys and challenges, and today, I celebrate the incredible woman and MOTHER you are!  
Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful moms.

Paul Tripp

“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.

But God,

being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
Ephesians 2:1-10
