Are you known?

I was staring out in to space after my coaching call with my clients last night.

My husband saw me and asked how the call had gone. I said, "it was one of those ones."

It was one of those ones when I am just humbled and thankful for this whole incredible format. This video clip is actually the most boring part of the call. 😄 The rest of the call was spent being present for and tending to someone's story. 

The storyteller was courageous and determined, like Jacob wrestling with God until he gets the blessing. She persevered in the vulnerability in order to pursue the healing that she, by faith, knows is coming.

And then the magic happened.

I could NEVER be able to offer the collective wisdom, insight and love that my clients offer each other. Each offered something unique, vulnerable, loving, Spirit-breathed. Perhaps all 4 essential elements were on the call last night. 

The 4 essential elements (a la Juli Slattery) to the healing journey (and I daresay to sanctification itself) are the truth of Scripture, the wisdom of creation, healing relationships, and Jesus Christ himself.

Which of these are alive and well in your life?

Which of these are you missing?

What do you need to do to get more of what's missing?

A "holiday at the sea" awaits.....

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.” C.S. Lewis
