"The only way to deal with the anger (or depression, or anxiety, or....) was to deal with the wound that I was covering with anger"
- Vicki Smith
"The process (of walking through "it") must be important because that is God's usual mode of growing us."
- Vick Smith
"So the joy that I have now is not in denying that I live in a broken world....
it is based on the HOPE I have in Christ!
The freedom I feel from anger is well worth the process"
-Vicki Smith
Friend, these quotes are just a small fraction of the goodness!

Bobbie went from full hustle to full halt and discovered what God can do in a valley season.
It ached to hear the harsh words that she knew could be her own, yet it felt so safe and reassuring to know that God sees her and wants her to have new lyrics in her own heart.
Acknowledging the dark as well as the light feels so honest and helpful in these moments. Although, I will warn, that it can also feel raw and not always easy, YET it is a kindness to ourselves when we start with honesty, isn't it? It is both, difficult and kind.
Letting go.. or saying "no" can be SO HARD ! We don't want to, we'd rather be awesome, all the time, in all the things! BUT... is that really working for you and your people? What do you need to steward (manage, maximize or multiply) better? Do you need to let go of something so that you may better steward something of more value… for a season?
Tracy leaned into the old car unafraid of the dirt and rust that she was now touching.
As I said in an email to my Belize Trip Prayer Team.. “ I am thankful. Actually, I am dumbfounded, humbled and in awe.”
