O dear Lord, no. The children. O dear Lord, no. Christ have mercy.

Here's a little glimpse at the work of the #Sowkind Nonprofit. Watching others elevate others will never get old.

I’m sorry you’ve had to spend your whole life bracing.

You deserve better.

Safe enough is a faraway hope for some survivors. Let's be people who lead with gentleness and become spotlights along the journey to safety. #hope

[Aundi Kolber, Therapist+Author @aundikolber]

May there come a time when you feel safe enough to allow goodness to shape you as much as pain.

Do you love the people? This should be a check in question at every pastor's conference or accountability check-in. People over programs EVERY TIME!

[Rick Warren @RickWarren]

Anytime I hear preachers say "I LOVE TO PREACH!" that never impresses me. So what? You may just like the attention & adrenaline rush. Instead, what I want to know is: Do you LOVE THE PEOPLE you preach to? That's what really matters. Without love, it's just noise. 1 Cor. 13:1

Privilege is-->never being suppressed in your giftings based on your gender.

[Alyssa DeLosSantos @AlyssaDLS]

If you're tired of waiting...
If you feel like it will never get better...

Hope is within reach.

It is dangerous to paint the world with the broad strokes of personal opinion. Conviction is good when we use it to guide our own lives, but when we place our conviction on others, it becomes a heavy burden. I have been on both sides and am making adjustments. #LifeLessons

[Aundi Kolber, Therapist+Author @aundikolber]

Good morning.

You are worth taking care of.

[Alyssa DeLosSantos @AlyssaDLS]

@denajdyer Thank you for sharing!!

[Alyssa DeLosSantos @AlyssaDLS]

I hate when I discover I am holding my empty cup out to others...

[Bob Goff @bobgoff]

If our lives are filled with purpose, we won't be distracted looking for everyone's approval.

[Alyssa DeLosSantos @AlyssaDLS]

@kristaonpurpose FOR REAL!

[Bob Goff @bobgoff]

Sometimes God asks us to step out (or through). We don’t know what we’ll see until we go through the deluge. It’s scary to step into the unknown, but it’s also where we find Jesus; and wherever we find Jesus, we find life. Fear calls out our doubts; God calls out our names.

[Alyssa DeLosSantos @AlyssaDLS]

New narratives are within reach! Let's go for it.

#trysofter #newnarratives #LetsGo

[Aundi Kolber, Therapist+Author @aundikolber]

You are allowed to unlearn every narrative that has kept you shamed + small.

We are invited to participate with God as we write new, truer stories.

Quarantine has been difficult, but it is also handing us gifts to be unwrapped. What gift have you unwrapped in this season. #QuarantineChronicles

[Alyssa DeLosSantos @AlyssaDLS]

This-->on repeat! Thanks, @aundikolber 💙

[Aundi Kolber, Therapist+Author @aundikolber]

The trauma you've lived through is not the truest thing about you.

We cannot take it with us when we die. Give it away. #sowkind #sowkindmovement

[Bob Goff @bobgoff]

Don’t save up love like you’re going to retire on it; we're rivers, not reservoirs.

[Alyssa DeLosSantos @AlyssaDLS]

Yes!

[Alyssa DeLosSantos @AlyssaDLS]

I am not collecting "when this is over" treasures; I am trying to unwrap the gift of each moment. When life is moving at its usual stride, it is easy for me to hyper-focus on what comes next and miss what is NOW. #chasingordinary
