    Bent but not Broken

    We appreciate the light so much more when it comes after the dark. We appreciate the Spring after the Winter, the sun after the rain, the healing after the pain. Then we get to help walk others through the darkness because we know the way.

    When Our No’s Become Yes’s

    I'm saying "yes" to a few quiet moments outside before this day begins. I'm saying "yes" to a slower day, a day of rest. I think this is the "yes" I really do need. Thank goodness for the "no's" because of all the needed "yes's" on the other side.

    Joy In the Being

    How often we have to fight for peace...but when we do, we find it. My peace was here in the splashing and giggles and wet floor. I wanted it to last forever.

    Fighting For Peace

    Oh how our minds, when left on their own, strive to control, to plan, to ruminate, to live anywhere but the present. Going to beautiful places will not do anything for us unless we change the landscape of our minds in midst of it all.

    Our Body Is A Holy Place

    When it comes to trauma and the brain, God has hardwired our bodies for healing and restoration. He wired our nervous system for balance. This can be a very long process, and he enters into it with us.

    It Is Good: A Body Scan Meditation

    As faithful Christians, we are not called to escape from our bodies, or to shame them. Rather, we are called to live in harmony with our bodies and give thanks for this temporary place where our souls may dwell here on earth.
