In this season. Are there signs I’m ignoring? What...
Last Thursday, Sylvia Tillmann of Tremendous TRE and I teamed up to host a webinar. We helped people in betrayal recovery understand what happens in their heart, mind, and body. I had such fun recognizing how God designed our bodies to care for us, even in extreme or challenging situations. We truly are fearfully and wonderfully made. What's Been On My Heart With the calendar turning to November, we greet the holiday season. For better or worse. I love Thanksgiving. Its focus on gratitude...
Connection. Relationships. Both filled my week. I started the week with my sister-friend, Daphne. We spent relaxed time together without an agenda.

Together, we remembered profs and other friends, marveling at how God took each relationship and shaped our lives. Something for You These types of connection...
