Love in the unexpected places

I am so in love that it’s this season again. Today, this came from the smallest hands in my life. As my sweet grandson was supposed to be getting into the car, he detoured into the yard and picked two of these beautiful flowers—one for each ear. I am so grateful that I can see this love, that I have this love, and that these memories will last forever.

His Love

“Those who are loved by God, let His love continually pour from you to one another, because God is love.”
(1 John 4:7)

“Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance. Love does not traffic in shame or disrespect, nor does it selfishly seek its own honor. Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense. Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong. Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others. Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up. Love never stops loving.”
(1 Corinthians 13:4–8, The Passion Translation)

The only shape in human existence that never ends is the circle. It is a beautiful representation of unconditional love.

This is the love of the Father—never-ending and unconditional. It continually surrounds us when we choose to stay near to Him and abide.

“For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39

Holy Spirit, encounter me with Your unconditional love. Refine me to be more like You.

The Least of These

I love my work. For the past eight years, I have had the privilege of being part of Karyn Purvis’s army of TBRI® Practitioners. It has been such an honor to walk alongside so many families and to witness the beauty and successes as they continue to attach and truly become a family unit.

I love seeing parents—some who have never been parents before—step in so quickly and understand the concept of nurturing a young infant, even when the child is 8, 10, or 15 years old. I love presenting everything about TBRI® to families. I love seeing children who once had no words begin to have words and use those words to get their needs met.

I love seeing laughter and joy in families. I love speaking encouragement into parents when they do well, even when they have a hard time receiving it—much like their children. I am so honored that I am entrusted with these beautiful human lives to love well.

The Wall

For many years, I have been wrestling with the Holy Spirit about the belief that the church is not significant. Throughout those years, I walked outside the confines of the church building, working with His people. I came to understand that the Acts Church is who my community is meant to be. I struggled in a place of not needing anything from anyone, asking myself, Why do I need the building?

I have asked the Holy Spirit, “Show me. Heal me. Free me from the story I have been walking in.”

Then, just recently, in a moment, the Holy Spirit showed me that “the wall” between myself and the church is not a wall meant to separate us. Instead, it is a place where the church needs help—a place where He is inviting me in to teach from what He has already qualified me with. Relationship with His people is what He is desires. My place to teach the church … one person at a time…

relationship
with self,
with others,
with the Holy Spirit.

Initially, the wall seemed grand and overwhelming. Then I saw Him turn, standing next to me, reach out His hand, and show me that we are doing this together.

A portrait of a mother -Tammy

Let me tell you about Tammy. There is a fierce loyalty that she carries. Even in the hardest situations, Tammy is able to carry herself in a way that shows everyone around her that everything is going to be OK, no matter the storm.

I met Tammy through my work because she is raising her grandson. There is a passion inside her to do things differently. I will never forget the first day we were sitting in the park when she felt the breeze of the Holy Spirit blow through her. Her eyes filled with tears, and that day became a turning point for her.

This is what Tammy wants the world to know about her:

“You are not a failure unless you quit trying! I cannot be stopped, with God on my side.”

“I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I find myself. I know how to make do with little, and I know how to make do with a lot. In any and all circumstances, I have learned the secret of being content—whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. I am able to do all things through him who strengthens me.”
— Philippians 4:11–13 (CSB)

“The least of these…”

To say that I am in awe of who God is would be an understatement—only God truly knows. Recently, I met with a client who handed me a stack of gift cards and said to use them wherever they were needed. What’s most beautiful is that just last week, a different client—a single mother of a special-needs little boy—lost her job.I so love that I am able—and honored—to be a facilitator of loving people unconditionally.

Making Sense of Your Worth

There’s a moment in time when you never know the impact you have on another person’s life. After eight sessions with this beautiful teenager, our time is finished. It’s been such a journey to watch a human being become self‑empowered through teaching, engaging, self‑worth, and identity.

So grateful and honored for every seed planted 🤎

Identity and Self-Worth

There are so many fulfilling things about my life—so many things I am deeply grateful for. I very much enjoy my work. As I finish up an identity and self-worth course with a teen called Making Sense of Your Worth, I love seeing the transformation. This sweet girl has endured so much—things most will never experience. Yet here at the end, she is engaging and seeing with a little more clarity who she is and her value. I am so grateful for her and for the opportunity to be a part of this story.

Body, Soul, Spirit

There is a fire inside every human—a longing, a yearning for more. Inside every human soul is a belief system given to us by those who raised us. It is the same belief system given to them.In that yearning, there becomes a place of surrender in the body and the soul, where we come into perfect alignment with the spirit. In that alignment with the spirit because of Jesus, we are given what God intended for us in this life: Holy Spirit as our counselor—wisdom, strength, understanding, knowledge, and counsel.Your life does not have to be one of darkness, void of anything more than self.He is waiting. Call out to Him.Holy Spirit, I need You. I want everything You have for me. I set my soul aside for you to lead my life.

The least of these…

The answer comes when you can look outside yourself. Loving people where there are at is loving unconditional without expectations.

““Then they too will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or without clothes, or sick, or in prison, and not help you? ’ “Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’”
