It’s been an emotional rollercoaster here in our family the past 2 weeks. The depth of the loneliness one feels when your little world feels like it’s crumbling can be truly crushing. I’m thankful the Lord reaches us and he does hear our cry and our groaning. Turning on the news later this week only added to things.
It’s time to turn off the socials, to focus on people in my physical space, and try to teach others that lost art of being present in times for others, as a therapist I feel this more than ever. People are lonely. People are tired of talking to a screen, and we have lost the art of presence. The savior we all worship and adore, taught us, his touch his physical presence and touch healed the heart and soul.
So this will be silent here for awhile but I’m not leaving, I’ll be trying to demonstrate the things I feel are most lacking in our communities and show up with kindness and a hope, the one that only comes from the Gospel truth. We all need Jesus and we are called to be the light that he has given us when we walk with him.
I don’t know where the Lord will lead me in this, but I do know he is calling me to be a voice to the lonely, the ones who feel most isolated and alone, and I have to explore what that will look like and be.

How we are feeling on the inside is hard to articulate on the outside in the heat of a conflict. That’s one thing I like about EFCT, helping couples identify how their attachment is feeling threatened, and how to de-escalate during the cycle of conflict.

Celebrating a very special 16 year old this weekend and it’s got me just in worship at how much the Lord has truly blessed us with. We started out so broken, but he has redeemed so much. 💕

Woke up not able to sleep. Lots o thoughts swirling. Thankful, we serve a God who sees us and encourages us. Spending time in prayer and worship outside in the garden, connecting in a way that allows me to feel attached to the One who offers comfort and peace. This verse this morning has uplifted me. And then the song came on “Old and New” and the tears flowed freely in pure worship and gratitude. I pray it encourages you as well.

Feeling blessed that this past week was restful and peaceful. Ended vacation with a hike with my sister of Mt. Eisenhower and Pierce! Something about being up above treeline just brings the heart peace and joy. I feel the Lords presence when I hike, it gives me solitude with Him as I marvel at all He has created.

This is 42! Feeling very blessed as I reflect on the past year and have witnessed how good the Lord has been to me, I’m thankful.

For all those for whom Mother’s Day is a hard one. Perhaps your mom has passed away and you ache for one more hug, or she’s not safe to be in relationship with and you have this ambiguous loss. For some, you lost your child and your empty arms throb in sorrow. Perhaps you long to be a mother but your womb has been empty for far too long. It’s painful. It’s hard. Just know there are so many who ache with you, who are praying for you, and there’s no judgement for how you choose to spend the day tomorrow. If it’s too hard to go out, then don’t. Spend some time with the One who brings comfort better than anyone else, He knows your pain and He will hold you. ❤️

It’s bereaved Mother’s Day. A day to pause and reflect, to grieve those babies lost before we got to meet them face to face. The ones who woke up to Jesus and never felt the pain of this broken world. To all the mothers out there missing, grieving and hurting, we pray for you. We remember your lost babies, and we know that you think of each one daily. Remember, you’re a mother no matter how long you carried your sweet little one, and the ultimate comfort can only be found in Him.
I know I have only been able to take comfort in knowing the Lord knows the pain I carry for each lost little one ❤️

It’s been a whole year since I exhaled when I held you and you cried, and then I wept in utter worship and gratitude for your life little one. Our rainbow after many storms of 2023. Proof that the Lord is in control and sovereign over all. My sweet reminder to pause and praise the Lord each day.
