"Motivation often increases after you begin. The lesson is not to wish you had more motivation, but to make starting as easy as possible."

Even when you’re stepping into something good — a new opportunity, ministry, or season — your mind and body still have to adjust.⁣⁣

Change stretches us, and stretching can feel uncomfortable.⁣⁣

More than anything, I pray my children get God’s Word deep in their hearts and let it guide every step they take. There are so many tools in this world that promise to help us through life’s challenges — but nothing compares to the truth, comfort, and direction found in God’s Word. 💛

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105

“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” — Psalm 119:11

“The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.” — Isaiah 40:8

Lord, let Your Word be their compass always.

God designed your body with limits — not to restrict you, but to protect you.

When you slow down and listen to what your body is saying, you’re honoring the way He created you. 🌿“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

"Developmental theories on the cases of BPD focus on the deliberate interactions between child and caregivers, especially during the first few years of life. The ages between 18 and 30 months, when the child begins to struggle to gain autonomy, are particularly crucial. Some parents actively resist the child's progression toward separation and insist instead on a controlled, exclusive, often suffocating symbiosis. At the other extreme, other parents offer only erratic parenting (or often absent) during much of the child raising period and so fail to provide sufficient attention to, and validation for, the child's feelings and experiences. Either extreme of parental behavior- behavioral over-control and/or emotional under involvement - can result in the child's failure to develop a positive, stable sense of self and may lead to a constant, intense need for attachment and chronic fears of abandonment."

Feeling so grateful for the insights from NAMI’s Pathways to Hope Conference so far. Some of the most impactful moments have been hearing from parents whose loved ones struggle with severe mental health challenges that have even led to unimaginable acts of violence. Their courage to lean on faith, advocacy, and education in the midst of heartbreak is both humbling and inspiring.

Mental health is something we all need — and mental illness is a spectrum. For some, it may look like managing stress or anxiety, while for others it can mean navigating something as complex as psychosis. No matter where we are on the spectrum, these conversations are essential.

I’m thankful for the opportunity to connect and partner with so many other mental health care services working together to bring hope and healing.

In The Anxious Generation, Jonathan Haidt urges schools to become phone-free zones and bring back unstructured free play to help reverse the sharp rise in youth anxiety and depression. He argues that kids need more time for real-world exploration—like mixed-age, unsupervised play—rather than constant screen time. Haidt calls for a new norm: no smartphones before age 14, no social media before 16, and schools where phones are banned during the day. “We rewired childhood,” he writes, “and created an epidemic of mental illness.” His message is clear: kids thrive when they have freedom to play and space away from screens.
