It was midday, the sun blazing overhead, when Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down beside a well in Samaria. The disciples had gone into town to buy food, leaving Him alone. As He rested, a woman approached, carrying her jar to draw water. She was a Samaritan—someone Jews typically avoided—but Jesus spoke first: “WouldContinue reading “Living Water”

Dance with me – Holy Spirit
It’s in the secret place — the time to quiet your soul and set it aside for the Spirit to take the lead. The space where you see and experience what cannot be explained.A new season is here, and in this season, I know He is near. There’s a longing within everyone for intimacy —Continue reading “Dance with me – Holy Spirit”
Meeting Him in the Secret place
The journey of my yellow chair continues this time to the West Coast in California. Everyone has a secret place with Him—whether they realize it or not. When you learn to quiet yourself and still your mind, He will take you there.

When you become a part of the family
I spend a lot of time in people’s homes, working one-on-one with families to implement Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®). It’s a deeply relational process, and over time, something special happens—there’s a moment when I know I’ve been fully welcomed into their world. It’s subtle, but unmistakable. I’m no longer just a visitor; I’m part ofContinue reading “When you become a part of the family”

And I’ve found that the thoughts the Holy Spirit gives me are best caught this way—before they drift away. There was a time when IContinue reading “It was me”
The Morning After
The Morning After was inspired by a vision from the Holy Spirit for the Client…what do you see when you look at it?
Her Name is Meekel
Let me share the story of Meekel. I first saw her near the ocean. At first, I walked past her, heading toward some shade to enjoy my cool cup of coffee. As I sat with friends, engaged in conversation, I couldn’t shake the echo of the story of the Good Samaritan—how so many passed byContinue reading “Her Name is Meekel”
Everyone has a story
I don’t know where you’re from and you don’t know where I’m from. I don’t know where you’ve been and you don’t know where I’m going. You see what you see based on where you’re from. The hidden things define what is ahead. I don’t decide for you when it’s time like you don’t decideContinue reading “Everyone has a story”

Family
I wonder if you see what I see in this beautiful smiling child. She has a tenderness in her soul and confidence and trust that is growing. I love how she displayed her work in her family project for family rules. Her story matters. This is one of the places that I truly get toContinue reading “Family”
