Holy Spirit Fire

Pressing into His presence, I saw heaven open and His fire consume my hands. Lord, I want full alignment, my body, my soul and my spirit with you. Use my voice, use my heart, use my hands to show people your true essence. Let your fire fill me, for you, Holy Spirit, are my art.”Continue reading “Holy Spirit Fire”

When you know

I’m going to tell you a little story about the artist behind this picture. She very lovingly said “Miss Jodi, I made this for you.” It sure makes my heart soar to be in this space in my life. She’s had more heartache and heartbreak than any human should ever have to go through. IContinue reading “When you know”

First Love

Psalm 139:5-10 TPT You’ve gone into my future to prepare the way, and in kindness you follow behind me to spare me from the harm of my past. You have laid your hand on me! This is just too wonderful, deep, and incomprehensible! Your understanding of me brings me wonder and strength. Where could IContinue reading “First Love”

Known

His Spirit has awakened my soul to its deepest desire—a place chosen not by human hands, but by my Creator. Oh, how I long for my body, my soul, and my spirit to be in full alignment with You, Lord. “…He gazes into my soul, appearing through the portal as He blossoms within my heart.”Continue reading “Known”

1 Safe person

“Every person needs at least one safe individual before the age of 18—someone who truly sees, hears, and values them, delights in who they are, and knows them deeply. When that happens, it builds a stronger foundation for mental health in adulthood. Without it, life can feel confusing and the struggle is real. Everyone needsContinue reading “1 Safe person”

The Encounter

“It was a quiet morning. The mist near the ocean was so thick. As I stood about 25 feet out on the sand on the ocean bed with the tide out, the reflection of the sun breaking through the mist was so beautiful and calming. For a brief moment, I felt as though a windowContinue reading “The Encounter”

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”

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”
