By the grace of God I am what I am: Counselor. Daughter. Sister of Burk and Blair. Aunt. Friend. Learning daily how to live in His grace.

@JMatter_TV The outside bar is pretty torn up, but the main restaurant part remains in tact. They’ll rebuild the outside, and it will be great :-)

Authentic friendship is crucial, takes time to foster, must be organic, not programmed or forced, isn’t always easy, requires much repentance and forgiveness and grace, and is one of the most important and most beautiful things in life. Grateful for this word from Paul Tripp.

[Scotty Smith @ScottyWardSmith]

Sometimes the most costly, important, and godly thing you can do for a friend is to listen to them with your eyes, heart, and time; and to resist the temptation to give answers to questions that aren't being asked.

“When we're securely rooted in personal intimacy with God, we can be flexible without being relativistic, convinced without being rigid, willing to confront without being offensive, gentle & forgiving without being soft, and true witnesses without being manipulative.” H Nouwen

“...It’s impossible to feel joy without a posture of gratitude.” @StasiEldredge

[Callie Parsons @cbparsons7]

@StasiEldredge Thanks for your semi-recent podcast “Sorrow to Joy”. Just listened. So good. So helpful. Thanks for truth and honesty.

Sometimes is really, really feels like hardening your heart is going to protect you from more pain. It won't. It never will work. You've got to stay tender. Your kindness, your aliveness is your gold. Guard it with ferocity.

[Sam Jolman @SamJolman]

Here’s the thing: when you are vulnerable with someone and they hurt you, it hurts. It’s not a fault in you. It’s not a mistake you made.

@OnPointRadio @jessbruder You can teach empathy. It's not something we are born with, and is therefore learned. Don't give up on people.
