A New Movement Is Rising In my work, I see a recurring theme: women raising children with special needs—often on their own. There’s no daycare for these kids, and even if such services existed, the funds simply aren’t there to make them accessible. Many of these women are working hard, doing the best they can,Continue reading “To Live Ministry – A Place To Live”

His Fragrance
I’ve been wondering more about who You are—the purity, the rawness of Your being,my Creator, the One who loves me completely,without conditions, without expectations. Each day I find myself longing for more of You,yearning to dwell in that sacred, intimate place.I wonder—what does Your fragrance hold?Is it one essence, or a symphony of all things?Continue reading “His Fragrance”
Finding Intimacy
“My beloved one, both handsome and winsome, you are pleasing beyond words. Our resting place is anointed and flourishing, like a green forest meadow bathed in light. Rafters of cedar branches are over our heads and balconies of pleasant-smelling pines.”Song of Songs 1:16-17 TPT
Earned secure
When I work with individuals and families, I talk a lot about attachment. It’s the foundation for how we navigate life. Everybody’s goal should be to achieve earned secure attachment—the capacity to give care, receive care, negotiate needs, and be ok with autonomous self. Personally, I’ve been working very hard on this for a veryContinue reading “Earned secure”
A Moment in Time
Do you find yourself in the same place week after week with your child? “I’m tired of the way they make me feel like I’m a ___.” (Fill in the blank.) The struggle is not with your child; it’s with you. Hard words—but nobody can make you feel anything. What you’re hearing is an echo—anContinue reading “A Moment in Time”
Supporting Regulation
So I have another story for you today. I’ve been working with a family for about half a year now. When I first met Mom, she really wasn’t connected to her son. During our first visit, she leaned in and was teachable —bringing her son close, holding his hands, and speaking to him while lookingContinue reading “Supporting Regulation”
It’s the little moments of break through..
It’s in the little moments when, all of a sudden, a breakthrough happens. I have a beautiful story about a little boy who doesn’t have words. His mom shared a wonderful, moving experience with her son. She and another caregiver were driving in the car with him in the backseat. He was diligently playing onContinue reading “It’s the little moments of break through..”
Intimacy with Him
“I see your blushing cheeks opened like the halves of a pomegranate shown through your veil of tender meekness. When I look at you, I see your inner strength so stately and strong you are secure as David’s fortress your virtues and grace to cause 1000 famous soldiers to surrender to your beauty. Your pureContinue reading “Intimacy with Him”
There is a season for everything under the sun.
I’d love to tell you about a family. There is a lot of extended family involved, but in this case, it’s a grandma raising her grandson. It’s a hard story. When I met them, Grandma was preparing to have her grandson come live with her full-time. I began teaching her TBRI® before he moved in.Continue reading “There is a season for everything under the sun.”
My Childrens Book
I never considered myself a writer, but one day back in 2017 everything changed. It felt like I received a download straight from the Holy Spirit—a story that I just had to share. Originally, I wrote it in a craft-store journal and made some copies for my nieces, nephews, friends and my children. A fewContinue reading “My Childrens Book”
