She is clothed in strength and beauty, She walks with dignity,
and laughs at the days to come,
because her hope is anchored in something eternal.
May you feel that strength today—
not as pressure, but as promise.
May beauty rise in you like morning light, soft and sure,
reminding you that you are seen,
loved, and never alone.
I pray that joy finds you in unexpected ways
in laughter, in quiet, in the kindness of others. And I pray that Jesus, gentle and true,
meets you in every step,
not with demands, but with delight.
You are a wonder
You are a gift
You are deeply loved
You are seen “El Roi”

Client: I’m fine
Horse: ummmm…smells like cortisol.
Horses don’t hear your words, they sniff your truth. No judgment. No advice. Just presence.

Beautiful oklahoma sunrise ☀️ Father God, thank You for this day. Before this month ends, I just want to say thank You for all the blessings and protection You’ve allowed me and my family to experience. Your word in Romans 15:13 says, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Thank You for the joy and peace You’ve given me, and the promise that I have a hope and a future. Thank You for taking such good care of me throughout this month, for giving me strength when I needed it, and for picking me up each time I fell. Thank You for Your faithfulness. I trust You with all of my heart, and I give this day to You.
In Jesus name Amen

You are not misplaced. You are missioned. Rooted not by accident, but by assignment.
The enemy may whisper in the language of regret or worry but God speaks in present tense. I am with you. I have prepared good works.“Bear fruit here.”
So bloom, Not when it’s easier, Not when it’s clearer But now. Because grace grows best in surrendered soil.

Christ has no body but ours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours, Yours are the eyes with which he looks Compassion on this world, Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good, Yours are the hands with which he blesses all the world. Ours are the hands, ours are the feet, Ours are the eyes, we are his body.

Beloved, hear this with your whole heart: In the family of God, there are no second-place children. No overlooked sons. No forgotten daughters. The Father doesn’t portion out His love like a scarce inheritance—He lavishes it. Every child receives the full blessing. Every heart is seen, known, and cherished.

There is no hierarchy in grace. No spiritual caste system. The same mercy that covered Peter’s denial, Paul’s persecution, and David’s brokenness covers yours and mine. The same love that called John “Beloved” calls you by name with tenderness and delight.

Think of it: the giants of the faith—Billy Graham, Mother Teresa, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, C. H. Spurgeon—they didn’t earn a deeper portion of God’s affection. They simply received it. And so can you. So do you.
Even in your flaws. Even in your regrets. Even in the places you feel least worthy.
God loves you—not less than, not almost, not conditionally. He loves you fully. Eternally. Equally.
Let that truth settle into your bones. You are not a footnote in His story. You are his beloved ♥️🙏♥️

During grief following a harrowing ordeal or loss of a loved one, guilt whispers that you should have done something anything to change the outcome. It clings to the illusion that, with perfect hindsight, you held the reins of fate. But hindsight isn’t the whole story. True relief comes when you turn kindness inward and accept that some things were never under your control. In that moment of self-compassion, guilt can finally loosen its grip.
