This one is tough to adopt at first, but peace does follow IMHO.

I have found that in my most difficult moments, I don’t need answers; I need presence. The Spirit gives us peace that surpasses understanding—if we give up our right to understand.

Answers and understanding aren’t wrong; God just doesn’t owe me any explanations. My quest is always for wisdom and understanding, but I don’t have the right to hold Him hostage to an explanation. I cannot limit God to what I understand, or I will have created a god in my image.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

Close friends and even strangers are much more important to us than we ever realized.

There’s a reason you miss the people you didn’t even know that well.

Food for thought on a day like today.

Anniversary dates of traumatic events can reactivate thoughts and feelings from the actual event, and survivors may experience peaks of anxiety and depression.

So proud of my staff who are working hard to serve the community!

Clarity Centers is open for business when it comes to psychological testing!

My team and I have a safe method called "In-Person But Distant." You are safely in a separate room and receive the evaluation by way of a video call and document camera.

We even have options for insurance payments for the evaluations.
