Truth, Trauma, and Jesus
Within this union, we are free to bring questions out from the hidden spaces of our subconscious into the light of consciousness, slowly and tenderly.
On Endings, Transitions, and Grief
There can not be a talk about endings without talking about grief. Grief is the way we move through the endings. Grief is the way we process what it is like to experience something for the last time. Grief is being held up to the wall of acceptance that we can not change things that we so badly wish we could change. When talking about endings, transitions, and grief, I find it helpful to name that what we possibly struggle with most is the emptiness felt where there was once a filling, whether gradually or abruptly.
Already, But Not Yet
A truth that I have carried with me for years now is that of all the roles in my life, the most important one I have is to prepare my children to meet Jesus. That requires of me a necessary dying to self, a continual pursuit of compassion, and to love relentlessly like He has loved and still loves us today.
An Invitation Back Home
There is a way you hold yourself
As you walk through this world
Gentleness has always preceded you
There, in your light, I find reflections of myself
Deeply embedded in this face before me
A softness that speaks only of love with no end
Woven in by the thread of my hand
This ever unfolding tapestry
Of who you will become
Declarations and Proclamations
There are many beliefs that lay beneath the surface of our being that keep us from seeing our reflection in the mirror correctly. Oftentimes these beliefs are tied to strongholds within us… lies presented to us even at a young age that we came into agreement with then continuously choose to put on as our covering, our identity, our reflection, and inevitably our worth.
Oceans
We are oceans. Tides constantly returning to the depth and mystery of life that beckons for our surrender. Internal growth riding on the waves of uncertainty.
