I searched for this image today, because it so clearly depicts what is burning in my heart.

There are so many people who currently feel like they are—emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally, figuratively—standing on the edge of a bridge. Everywhere you look, people are going through hard things.

And tonight, I just want to implore you: If you see someone on the edge of the bridge, GRAB THEM.

Use both hands.
Grab an arm. A hand. A leg.
Anything you can reach.

Do it through a meal, or a phone call, or a letter, or a Facebook message, or a love offering, or a smile, or a hug. It doesn’t matter how you do it. Let Holy Spirit lead.

But please reach out and grab them so they know that someone somewhere cares enough to hold on.

Grab them because you are the hands and arms of Jesus on this earth, and there is nothing He wants more than to wrap people up and hold them close right now.

Grab them.
Hold on with all your heart.

Remind them that hope is on the way. 💜

—

“He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart.” — Isaiah‬ ‭40:11‬ ‭NLT‬

YOU DON’T JUST LOSE SOMEONE ONCE

You lose them over and over,
sometimes on the same day.
When the loss, momentarily forgotten,
creeps up,
and attacks you from behind.
Fresh waves of grief as the realization hits home,
they are gone.
Again.
You don’t just lose someone once,
you lose them every time you open your eyes to a new dawn,
and as you awaken,
so does your memory,
so does the jolting bolt of lightning that rips into your heart,
they are gone.
Again.
Losing someone is a journey,
not a one-off.
There is no end to the loss,
there is only a learned skill on how to stay afloat,
when it washes over.
Be kind to those who are sailing this stormy sea,
they have a journey ahead of them,
and a daily shock to the system each time they realize,
they are gone,
Again.
You don’t just lose someone once,
you lose them every day,
for a lifetime.

A year ago today.
I’m so overwhelmed and emotional with gratitude to each of our CHAIRpersons. Thank you for holding space with me, for me… for my family… for all those who’ve lost… for all the grieving… for all those fighting…

Ultimately, it’s for THEM.

Together, we are ALL lifesavers!

It’s not just a mantra… it’s a much-needed idea to be materialized.

We started something so incredibly personal, pivotal, purpose-driven.

I’m honored to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with each of you!
