As I look back over the journey of this office the last four years I am amazed by how God has orchestrated such a challenging and enriching experience for me. This office was born out of a leap of faith after asking Jesus about how He wants me to further His Kingdom. I went to bed that night and literally awoke the next morning with a plan for a mental health clinic founded on Christian principles welcoming everyone exactly where they are with no judgments and with an atmosphere of warmth, openness, and love. It was a leap of faith, one that has evolved into a practice I am proud and humbled by every day. We are so fortunate and blessed the members of our community trust us to walk along side them in their journeys. They are looking for help but more importantly hope. Hope that will facilitate healing and growth.
During each one of our expansions and growth endeavors I am in awe of how God has provided and knitted together an amazing group of professionals committed to the same vision and mission. I am blown away by my fellow professionals every day in the way they empower, pour into, and encourage everyone they meet and work with. I know each and everyone that walks through our doors whether they seek mental health services or spa services will be honored, respected, and valued.
In our home we try to operate from a place of gratitude and everyday I am grateful to come to a place that embodies strength and hope to all we work with. Gratitude and joy can breathe such life into our heartache and our journey. I would challenge each of you to try and begin and end each day from place of gratitude. Try to focus on details of your life or situations not just generalizations. These details help us stay grounded in our blessings and allows room for growth. Being grateful also counteracts our stressors and helps balance our mood when we are feeling overwhelmed and frustrated.
As we look to 2018 we are grateful for each of you and believe in your strength, your value, and your worth.
