In this episode of Daily Influence, host Gregg-Brooke Koleno is joined by Dr. Angela Brooks — an educator, leadership coach, and well-being advocate who has dedicated her life's work to helping leaders and organizations thrive from the inside out. Dr. Angela shares her inspiring journey from a naturally empathetic child to an award-winning principal and transformational leader. She unpacks how social and emotional well-being is at the core of authentic, effective leadership and how investing in our own emotional health can create a ripple effect of positive influence in the lives of others. Through powerful stories, including the remarkable transformation of one of her teachers who became Principal of the Year, Dr. Angela demonstrates how personal growth and professional leadership go hand in hand. She also reveals how small, intentional "micro moments" — from chewing bubble gum to sharing ice cream with family — can build resilience, joy, and connection in our fast-paced, often overwhelming world. Listeners will walk away with actionable strategies to: • Prioritize their well-being without adding more to their to-do list. • Embrace vulnerability and authenticity in leadership. • Intentionally create space and grace in their daily routines. • Discover the power of joyful, mindful living as a catalyst for influence. Dr. Angela reminds us that leading others starts with leading ourselves — and that our most profound influence begins in the quiet, intentional moments we create each day.

Episode Summary Success in your freelance business isn't about grand gestures, massive marketing campaigns, or expensive training. It's about the tiny, seemingly insignificant moments you're tempted to skip—the quick LinkedIn post, the follow-up email, the slightly bolder pricing quote. These micro-moments are where real transformation happens. In this episode, we explore how small decisions—often dismissed as trivial—can lead to major breakthroughs in your freelance career. Whether it's landing a high-paying client, securing a game-changing project, or leveling up your pricing, the path to success is built one micro-moment at a time. What You'll Learn in This Episode ·       Why the most pivotal changes in your business come from micro-moments, not big moves. ·       Real-life examples of how tiny decisions led to massive breakthroughs. ·       How to recognize and seize these opportunities in your own freelance career. ·       Practical steps to train yourself to take action—even when it feels pointless. Key Takeaways 1. Micro-Moments Are the Foundation of Freelance Success The biggest client you land won't come from a massive campaign; it'll likely stem from a quick follow-up email you almost didn't send. The rate increase that changes your business starts with one tiny moment of courage. Your best opportunities often come from the things you're most tempted to dismiss as “too small to matter.” 2. Success Happens in the Small Choices You Make Daily Skipping that quick outreach might mean missing a life-changing opportunity. That extra five minutes tweaking your website copy could be the difference between a lead converting or bouncing. Small habits and micro-decisions compound over time, creating momentum that drives business growth. 3. Stop Waiting for Perfect Conditions — Take Action Now Life will always throw obstacles in your way, but progress doesn't require ideal conditions. Success is built in the moments when you could have said "not now" but chose to act instead. Train yourself to recognize these moments and embrace them as opportunities. Actionable Exercises ·       Micro-Moment Awareness: At the end of each day, reflect on one small action you took that could lead to something bigger. ·       The "What the Heck" Rule: Next time you're debating whether to send that follow-up or post that update, just do it. Assume it could be the moment that changes everything. ·       Tiny Courage Challenge: Quote slightly higher than you normally would. Send the pitch you're nervous about. Take one small but bold action this week. Listener Challenge This week, commit to embracing just one micro-moment you would normally ignore. Take action, then observe what happens. You might just be surprised at the results.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton dive into the small, everyday decisions that have major consequences in a first responder's career and life (Amazon Affiliate). Often, it's not the high-profile cases or dramatic calls that define an officer's career—it's the split-second choices, the moments of restraint, the seemingly minor decisions that have lasting effects. Some of these micro-moments lead to career advancement, strong relationships, and self-preservation. Others, however, result in burnout, disciplinary action, or even life-or-death situations. This episode will highlight five key areas where small decisions can have big consequences and how to be intentional about making the right choices. 1. Why Micro-Moments Matter in Law Enforcement First responders make thousands of small decisions daily. Some seem insignificant in the moment but later prove to be pivotal. A single interaction with the public, a moment of restraint, or choosing when to speak up (or stay silent) can impact an officer's reputation, career path, and safety. Understanding the power of small choices helps officers stay in control of their careers instead of leaving things to chance. 2. Five Critical Micro-Moments in a First Responder's Career (With Examples & Remedies) 1. The Decision to Speak or Stay Silent Example: A young officer witnesses a senior officer bending the rules but doesn't report it because they don't want to seem disloyal. Impact: Over time, staying silent normalizes unethical behavior and can lead to major departmental scandals—or personal regret. Remedy: Learn to pick your battles wisely. If something feels wrong, document and report it through the proper channels before it becomes an issue that compromises your integrity. 2. How You Treat the Public—Even on a Bad Day Example: A veteran officer, frustrated with the job, snaps at a citizen during a routine traffic stop. The person records the encounter and posts it online, leading to backlash. Impact: One bad moment can overshadow years of good work. The officer may face disciplinary action or public scrutiny. Remedy: Pause before reacting. If you're frustrated or burned out, find ways to decompress before it affects interactions. 3. The Choice to Take Shortcuts or Follow Procedure Example: An officer is busy and skips some paperwork on an arrest, assuming it won't matter. Months later, the case gets dismissed due to a technicality. Impact: Small procedural lapses can compromise investigations, hurt victims, and damage an officer's credibility. Remedy: Always assume your work will be scrutinized. Even when it seems minor, do things by the book. 4. Small Lifestyle Choices That Affect Career Longevity Example: A first responder consistently skips workouts, eats fast food, and ignores stress management. A decade later, they develop serious health issues that could have been avoided. Impact: Poor health choices lead to early burnout, increased injury risk, and medical retirement. Remedy: Make small, consistent improvements. Exercise regularly, prioritize sleep, and manage stress before it affects job performance. 5. The Decision to Invest in Relationships (Or Let Them Fade) Example: An officer works excessive overtime to provide for their family but misses key moments like birthdays and anniversaries. Over time, their marriage suffers. Impact: Some officers realize too late that career success came at the cost of personal relationships. Remedy: Schedule time for family and friends the same way you schedule work priorities. If you can commit to showing up for the job, commit to showing up for loved ones, too. 3. How to Be More Intentional with Micro-Decisions Ask yourself: “If I keep making this choice daily, where will it lead me in 5 years?” Don't let bad habits build. Small negative patterns turn into major career obstacles. Pause before reacting. A single moment of emotional control can prevent long-term consequences. Seek mentorship. Experienced officers can point out blind spots before they become costly mistakes. 4. Why This Matters Every first responder's career and personal life is built on tiny decisions made daily. Some lead to strong leadership, long-term success, and personal fulfillment. Others create bad habits, career-damaging mistakes, or avoidable stress. By being more intentional about micro-decisions, officers can shape their careers instead of just reacting to circumstances. Listen now to learn how to take control of your small decisions today for long-term success!

Send us a textWe're diving into the concept of disenfranchised grief—the “silent sorrow”, as I sometimes call it. This is grief that's often not openly acknowledged, socially validated or publicly mourned, which makes it especially challenging to navigate.In this conversation we're chatting about various examples of disenfranchised grief that are long overdue for some validation—think: the loss of an ex-partner or estranged family member, unrecognized or invalidated relationships, losses that are considered “less significant” than a death, stigmatized losses, losses of a job or sense of identity, major life transitions, and more.This is truly such an underrated yet incredibly important type of grief to acknowledge, so I'm also offering some insight into how to cope and navigate this. And, as always, giving you some practical coping strategies along the way.My mission with this topic is to validate your experience and loss, and provide you tools, support, and mindset shifts to help you navigate this complex form of grief. Start your next evolution and transformation here: https://losses-become-gains.showitpreview.com/transformation Start finding relief here: https://losses-become-gains.showitpreview.com/relief-in-griefWork with me: Micro-Moments for Transformation: https://lossesbecomegains.com/transformation 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Challenge: https://lossesbecomegains.com/relief-in-grief Work with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-tara Connect with me further: Leave a voice note through Speakpipe! https://www.speakpipe.com/LifeWithGrief Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifewithgriefpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/losses.become.gains Website: https://lossesbecomegains.com/ Shop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journal By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.

Key Takeaways: *Understanding Church Hurt: Church hurt can arise from personal issues, sins committed by others, and failed leadership. It's important to recognize that while people and communities can fail, Christ remains a steadfast focus. *Navigating Church Hurt: Michelle emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with a supportive, biblical community and seeking guidance from scripture during times of hurt. *The Role of Leadership: Leaders should model confession, repentance, and humility, acknowledging their imperfections and striving for restoration within the church community. *Forgiveness and Healing: Forgiveness is a command and does not always mean restored relationships. It requires personal work, often without acknowledgment or change from the other party. *Moving Forward: It's crucial to maintain faith and commitment to God's word, even when church experiences are painful. The journey involves seeking a church community that aligns with biblical truth and provides a place for spiritual growth. *Personal Reflections: Michelle shares her journey of having lost a sense of purpose within her church community and her ongoing pursuit of finding a new church home, highlighting the complexity and emotional layers involved in such transitions. Intro/Blog Post: I'm so appreciative for my guest Michelle Nezat and her courage to talk about what is often termed as church hurt. In the intricate tapestry of human relationships, church communities hold a unique place, often serving as a haven of support, spiritual growth, and community. However, church communities including the leadership are not immune to the imperfections of human nature, and at times, they can become a source of profound hurt.  To Michelle's heartbreak she and her husband are in between churches. She shared her very transparent, humble journey and what it's like in their current waiting period of leaning into the Lord to direct and confirm a new church family they can be folded into. Her willingness to look at both sides of the equation was refreshing. Whether it was through the lens of church responsibilities or the responsibilities of the believer she had a fair, biblically informed perspective. As I listened to Michelle, I became aware of the various ways church hurt affects so many aspects of one's spiritual grounding. We looked at what are some of the causes of church hurt such as personal sensitivities, past traumas, and individual mistakes. As human beings, we bring our own emotional baggage into every relationship, including those within a church community. Additionally, failed leadership or sins committed against members can definitely be the most significant contributors to church hurt. Even well-intentioned leaders can fall short in their responsibilities. When they do it can lead to a deep sense of betrayal and hurt because as Michelle states, the leadership is not just someone you like or hope likes you, they are someone you have put your trust in, whom you look up to for examples and modeling of God and His word. The conversation also touched upon the options available to individuals experiencing church hurt. While leaving the church may seem like the immediate solution, Michelle emphasized that leaving might not always lead to healing. Instead, she advocated for seeking greater holiness and aligning one's actions with God's will. This could involve choosing to stay and work through the issues or leaving with a heart open to finding a new community where spiritual growth can continue. The decision ultimately rests on discerning what leads to greater holiness in one's life and seeking the Lord's guidance in the process. Finally, our discussion highlighted the role of forgiveness and the importance of maintaining a focus on Christ. Forgiveness is essential for healing, but it does not always mean restoring broken relationships. It involves letting go of bitterness and entrusting the situation to God. By fixing our eyes on Jesus and embracing how He modeled forgiveness, we can navigate the complexities of church hurt and find peace and purpose. Michelle helps us keep our focus on the fact that the church is the bride of Christ, and where man fails, God himself will reveal His truth. In whatever context we pursue Him in, He will reveal Himself to those who earnestly seek Him. If you're navigating church hurt today, this episode is a must. Michelle will encourage your heart, help you stay on the right path and give you hope for your breakthrough in Christ!

Amidst our fast-paced, modern lives, the notion of taking a moment for stillness might seem daunting or even frivolous. However, I argue that embracing this quiet awareness could be the key to achieving a healthier, more balanced mind and body. The relentless busyness of everyday life often leads us to prioritize distractions over introspection, and in doing so, we overlook the profound benefits that come from simply being present in a peaceful environment. I explore the reasons behind our resistance to stillness, notably the pressure we feel to remain constantly engaged and productive. In a world that often glorifies busyness, it's common to fill our schedules to the brim, leaving little room for rest. I share a personal experience of having to decline social invitations, which illuminated my own craving for quietude. This reflection underscores the importance of granting ourselves permission to step back and seek moments of stillness—something that is particularly vital as the hustle of the holiday season approaches and our natural need for calm becomes increasingly evident. The session emphasizes that stillness is not synonymous with idleness; rather, it is a powerful state of being that fosters clarity, intuition, and self-awareness. I discuss how cultivating stillness helps clear the mental fog that can cloud our perspectives, providing space for creativity and insight to flourish. #Stillness, #Silence, #AnxietyRelief, #StressManagement, #Meditation, #Mindfulness, #SelfAwareness, #InnerPeace, #MentalHealth, #SelfCare, #MindfulLiving, #StressRelief, #Intuition, #MentalClarity, #PersonalGrowth, #CreativeHealing, #CalmMind, #MindfulnessPractice, #SelfReflection, #RestorativeStillness, #MentalWellness, #GinaRyan, #ACP, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

We're thrilled to re-broadcast an insightful episode from the Sinica Podcast, where host Kaiser Kuo sits down with Bryce Whitwam to delve into the ever-evolving world of Chinese livestream e-commerce. Bryce's latest research highlights a fascinating shift: Chinese consumers increasingly gravitate toward smaller, more personalized livestream shows that foster greater interaction with hosts. While large-scale shows with millions of viewers still exist, they're gradually being replaced by micro-targeted streams on platforms like Xiaohongshu and Douyin, which offer a more authentic and engaging experience. This evolution carries significant implications for brands looking to connect with highly targeted audiences in China. It could hint at the future of livestream shopping in the West, especially as TikTok explores similar trends. 1. How did you first engage with the livestream e-commerce trend in China? 2. What's the history of livestream commerce, and how has it evolved since its inception? 3. How does livestreaming contribute to consumer engagement compared to traditional retail? 4. What differentiates Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and Taobao as livestream platforms? 5. What role does authenticity play in driving consumer trust in livestreaming? 6. How do demographics like age, gender, and location influence livestream shopping behavior? 7. What are the key differences between China's livestream strategies and the U.S.'s early adoption of TikTok Shop? 8. How are niche and microtargeted livestreams reshaping consumer behavior? 9. What challenges or disruptions could affect livestream commerce's growth in China? 10. What does the rise of livestreaming tell us about broader changes in Chinese consumer culture? 11.

Summary - *RevelationShip Concept: Kathy Garland discusses the concept of "revelationship," a term that emerged from a teaching session at her father's church. It emphasizes a dynamic relationship with God through ongoing revelations, exploring how God reveals Himself through various ways, including scripture, creation, and personal experiences. *Suffering and Faith: Kathy shares her personal journey through significant life challenges such as divorce, child loss, and a severe car accident. Despite these hardships, her faith remained strong, and she questions why churches often fail to teach believers how to suffer well and glorify God through their suffering. *Authentic Faith and Deconstruction: Kathy talks about the importance of authentic questioning in faith, drawing from her own deconstruction experience. She highlights the value of testing one's beliefs and the dangers of adopting a consumer-like approach to religion by picking elements from different faiths without deeper understanding. *Attributes of God: The discussion touches on God's holiness as the foundation of His attributes, referencing a quote by Stephen Charnock. Kathy emphasizes that every action of God is inherently holy and serves a purpose, even if difficult to understand. *Upcoming Works and Study Guides: Kathy mentions her upcoming book "The God Who," which will further explore how God reveals Himself. Both this and her previous work, "Revelationship," include study guides designed to help readers apply theological insights practically in their lives. Podcast Intro: My guest Cathy Garland introduces us to the word and concept of revelationship. She shares her journey of faith, which has been tested through numerous hardships, including divorce, child loss, and a car accident. These experiences have led her to develop a concept called "revelationship," which she explains as an evolving relationship with God through revelations. Cathy emphasizes the importance of seeing God in all aspects of life, including the painful parts, and how this understanding forms the basis of her book titled Revelationship - Transformative Intimacy with Christ. Cathy discusses the shortcomings of the church in teaching believers how to suffer and mourn well. She critiques certain prosperity-driven teachings that suggest hardships are solely a result of personal failures. Instead, she argues that suffering is a part of life and can serve as a profound teacher that draws individuals closer to God. Cathy stresses the importance of authentic mourning and the discomfort it can cause others, highlighting the cultural reluctance to face and share pain openly. The conversation also delves into the topic of deconstruction of faith, with Cathy sharing her own experience of questioning her beliefs and how her parents, her father was a pastor, supported her exploration. She emphasizes that true faith can withstand questioning and that deconstruction should not be feared. Cathy advocates for the importance of surrender and obedience to God, suggesting that these practices help train us to resist the our human tendency to choose lesser things over what God offers us and Cathy even points out how we would easily and consistently choose the very thing that will kill us if left to our own understanding and our own desires. Finally, Cathy discusses various ways people can experience God, such as through worship, nature, and service, noting that these are legitimate pathways to deepen one's faith. She highlights the significance of repentance, not as a means to earn God's forgiveness but as a process of personal growth and sanctification. As we wrapped up you'll hear Cathy's passion for people to understand that God actively pursues a relationship with us, and that He's eager to reveal Himself, driven by His unwavering and holy love for us.

I want to talk about micro-moments in marketing! In marketing, "micro-moments" refer to the small instances when consumers turn to their devices to act on a need, whether it's to learn something, do something, discover something, watch something, or buy something. These micro-moments provide opportunities for a jewelry brand to engage with customers by being present with relevant, helpful content or offers at the exact time they're needed. As a jewelry brand, it's crucial to be present during micro-moments because these customers have a clear intention. Instead of interrupting them, you're connecting with them right where they are. In this episode, I'll share examples of micro-moments and offer guidance on how you can tailor them to your brand and storytelling. This approach will help you connect with your ideal customers where they are, offering them more than just a product—providing real value and fostering an emotional connection. In our "Gold Mine" segment, I want to talk about the importance of kindness and humility in business and how these qualities can take you further than you might expect.

Podcast Episode/Transcript: This is going to be a short episode but it was important enough for me to make it an episode because I had to share this study with you. It's titled, Do You Love Me? Exploring our relationships with God and others by Debbie Swindoll. Published by Grafted Life Ministries. From what I can discern it's been around since 2014; I have the 3rd edition published in 2018. Have you ever had the opportunity to participate in this particular bible study? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts, your takeaway. This is the first time I've ever described a bible study as sweet. The most tender hearted bible study I've ever been a part of. When I say tender hearted, it's because of the way it reveals the Father's love for us, His heart to know us and for us to discover Him. The point that was highlighted for me, was the simplicity of what God requires of us in order to know Him more. Then I was perplexed because I treat it with such difficulty. Because of the way I've grown in my intimacy with Christ (after doing this bible study) I wanted to make you aware of it as well. Should you want to participate I can definitely get you in contact with my friend who is the founder of Breathe Deep Ministries, Amy Hellman. I don't receive any type of compensation for connecting you with her. Her contact info will be in the show notes. She's not the publisher nor the author but she facilitates this study. You may be familiar with Amy's name because she has been on my podcast a couple of times. A few years back she was a guest and we talked about her book Soul Stripper. It's a free download online. It is her personal story of how God works with us to strip us of (by way of healing) the various ways we're attached to this world. As well as the ways we attempt to satisfy our flesh or people please etc. and she moves us into finding our identity in Christ, a strong identity in Him alone. Also, she did one other episode where she took the mic to interview me about my first year of podcasting, asking me questions about all that I had learned through the messages that my guests had shared. That would have been in Sept. of 2021, which reminds me, I'm putting together some pretty exciting things for my 4 year anniversary in September of this year! I'll keep you posted. And then lastly, real quick with Amy you may have heard me speak of finding, what I considered and it has proven true, my last layer of healing from abandonment issues. Part of my journey with finding healing for various things associated with my childhood. Amy walked me through Theophostic Prayer and using that healing model the Lord gave me a vision. I've talked about the vision before so I won't repeat it again, so we can get to the purpose of this episode but engaging the Holy Spirit through Theophostic prayer and the vision of the Lord's presence (in a very scary time as a child), broke off the last bit of pain associated with abandonment. All that to say this, the reason I even know anything about this study is because I'm currently seeing Amy for Spiritual Direction counseling and she offered me this study and I gladly joined in and boy am I happy I did. The Lord has been calling me into these pockets of quiet time with Him. As He's doing that it's never been more obvious to me that my challenge is to slow down. Rest. Rest in Him. Rest with Him. I actually thought I was slowing down because my typical pace and the fact that I was making time to engage the Holy Spirit showed a marked difference in my life even from a couple of years ago. I'm thinking I'm doing the thing and knocking it out of the park but something just stayed under the surface that simply did not sit right. A feeling of doing the thing but still missing out. Not getting the full expression, the full experience. However, I simply couldn't put my finger on what was possibly missing. I'm reading the word, I'm making a joyful noise unto the Lord singing praise and worship music, praying for my family/friends, I go to church etc. I'm checking off the good Christian girl checklist. Well, I did the Christian checklist for many years but at this time in my life I would not have called it that because my heart is head over heels in love with Jesus. I love my time with the Lord. I'm no longer trying to perform to earn His affection or make sure I'm maintaining His approval. He has seen me at my absolute worst. And not just once. But countless times. He has yet to turn away. As an example of my affection for the Lord, in this particular season of my life, I am very content, very happy and I have a deep rooted peace in my soul. I need nothing and I want nothing. He has my full attention and I wait on Him to direct my life. So it was in those quiet times with the Lord, that the missing something seemed to be more prominent when I rushed the wrap up of my time with Him. I would enjoy my bible reading and prayer time but in the mornings I'd get to a certain point and then I'd be up and into something else so quickly I was left wondering if I even told the Lord, "I love you?!" When I'd have my quiet time with the Lord in the evenings, it often ended with me going to sleep and not remembering if I even finished my prayers. I would fall asleep in the middle of praying or simply talking to God about something or reading His word. It's not that I felt condemned because if you have children, is that not the sweetest thing you can experience; your children so content with you that they will let their guard down, and surrender to the day, falling asleep with you nearby. However, I just couldn't shake the feeling that I'm missing out on something. That Jesus intended more for me. But what was missing? It's intriguing to me that the simplicity with which we have access to the heart of God as He sits on His sovereign throne and yet in real time our actions say it's incredibly difficult. Maybe on a subconscious level, we believe it to be a, too good to be true, scenario and so our heart discredits it so that it carries no weight in our life? Or maybe it's that God's goodness and kindness are always available and so we take it for granted. It'll always be there so it's no rush, I'll get to it when I can. I know I've treated God that way. The Creator of all things wants to know me and I have “better things” more pressing things to do. As I say that out loud it's incredibly humbling. It's mind boggling that I pass up these moments with such ease. Even if I experience a flash of guilt, it's simply that, a flash. Because the truth is, as a daughter of the One True King of kings and Lord of lords, the One who has no rival and no equal that you can picture yourself running up to the throne room doors and not only do the armed guards step aside they open the massive doors without a question. You run toward your Father. No one stops you as you climb up the steps, probably stepping all over His royal train that fills the throne room. Into His lap you sit and you begin to tell Him about your day and He is absolutely delighted that you have chosen to come and sit with Him. If you're a parent, you can imagine or maybe you know the feeling when your children chose to spend time with you OR when your children choose lesser things (like video games or being on their phone). We've all heard it said that one of our biggest mistakes is that we think we have time….but time is a resource that quickly evaporates. Many times I have questioned, you've heard me ask on my podcasts, why-oh-why do we choose lesser things than the perfection that God offers us. After engaging this study I have the answer! Many of you already have the answer but God is so kind to us in the way He brings revelation to us as the individuals He created us to be. Sometimes, things just click and you have a DUH moment. Like, I knew that part and that part but now it's all come together for a much clearer understanding. Maybe that's when you move from the duh moment to the ah ha moment. Why do we choose lesser things compared to what God has for us? Because in this life we will deal with the flesh and yet our soul knows there's something more. We are made mind, body and soul/spirit. We're trapped in an earthly body, with a soul that longs for heaven and our mind is the battlefield. We straddle this world with our flesh and the spiritual world with our spirit. There is an intentional action, an intentional choice, in the battleground of the mind that takes us from being controlled by the flesh to walking in the fullness of who God created us to be but let's look at the details of what we're working against first. In this place between discovering what we were created for and heaven, we fight against the desires of the flesh because the flesh that we're wrapped-in is broken and sinful; it wants what it wants using the quickest, least resistant path to immediate gratification and yet our soul intuitively knows there is something more. In our DNA, God placed His image and therefore a natural desire for Garden of Eden moments. Our soul longs for beauty, truth, life, relationship, love, joy, etc. etc so the soul searches and its first access point is to use the flesh to find it. Our emotions, our 5 senses, the world around us…it's natural to us, God gave us those things….but this is why the Lord says we must be born again, that we need to die to our flesh, that we need to pick up our cross and follow the Lord. As uninviting as that sounds always remember you are never alone in the process. You have the very presence of God and our biggest trials bring the most beautiful rewards. In the midst of choosing lesser things over taking those incremental steps toward discovering and fulfilling what you were created for, which is rooted in discovering God's heart for you, you can be encouraged that God is never offended, never mad, nor does He want to teach you a lesson. We can learn plenty of hard knock lessons from following our flesh…God doesn't need to do anything to us, there's plenty of teachable moments in one days time based on how we personally engage life….one micro decision at a time, throughout any given day. In the moments when our feelings and/or our emotions are driving us, it's time to take breath, maybe a couple of breaths, and grab a few minutes with Holy Spirit. This juncture (of environment and our emotion) is the place where we can interrupt old patterns, challenge lie based thinking and negative reactions. Because the truth is, if we do not create a space in which we give God our emotions and allow Him to filter them with His truth we will, without fail, end up creating survival skills and self-coping vices (based on our own limited understanding/experiences) that we think are helping or at the very least, protecting us. When we don't take responsibility by way of making time to heal from our past traumas, emotional and mental scars, all the affects of living in a broken world and with our self-imposed survival skills and self-coping vices we will stay in our own dry, dusty desert for 40+ years just like the Israelites. God is with us but our eyes are never seeing and our ears never hear. Sadly, trauma never leaves on its own. The grip of that which seeks to steal, kill, and destroy has to be evicted. You have to break agreement with it, cast it out when necessary. You've heard me say this before, we're not responsible for what has been done to us but we are responsible to find the healing we need and to not give up until we are walking in God's peace, healing and redemption. When you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and invited Him to live in your heart, you gained access (through Jesus) to now discover who you were created to be. Something that had been hidden from you as a prior enemy of Christ. Now with direct access to the throne of God, you have the opportunity to discover how He knit you together in our own mother's womb. What is it about you that is most like God? What gifts and talents mirror His creative heart? What are your core charateristics that align with Him? As you go on this adventure with Christ and He reveals your gifts, talents, skills and He begins to open doors and create certain connections and relationships, He will reveal this things and teach you how to steward them with Heaven's value system vs our own value system. He will reveal it little by little so that you can digest and apply what He is showing you. Hence the lifelong adventure of relationship and His revelation after revelation. The simplicity with which we can know the depths of God's love for us and who He created us to be, what we were created for, the different seasons He's calling us into, what our gifts and talents are… comes down to this, time. To make time, is the intentional action, the intentional choice in the midst of the emotional and mental battleground of the mind that takes us from being controlled by the flesh to walking in the fullness of who God created us to be. Not time checking off the good Christian girl to do list with the just get it done heart posture. The result of that type of investment is fake at best and you can expect your return to be empty as well; ask me how I know. Take the time to be still and discover the type of Father who loves you. Intimacy grows over time and engagement. In every circumstance of your life and in every micro moment that you have an emotion or a question about who you are, maybe you're being challenged in an area where you're weak, or your moments when you feel disconnected, overwhelmed and you're loosing hope. Pause, be still, breathe, turn your heart and mind toward Jesus. Engage God/Jesus/Holy Spirit (you can start with any one of the 3), invite Him in, ask Him what is this I'm feeling. Why am I feeling this? If He reveals it (because sometimes He simply gives you encouragement in the moment to endure and/or He offers His reassurance that He's with you and He'll see you through) ... so when the time comes that He reveals it, ask Him to help you. And maybe this might be the most challenging part of the process is to accept His grace as you are stepping into who He's called you to be. Most of the time it's not a flawless transition. Here's what I think is the perfect example of this journey we're on. Adam and Eve started off living in intimacy with God. They had daily, face to face conversations with God. He was present 24/7, and they rejected Him. We're born in the condition of having rejected Him and we're on the journey to return to the benefits of the Garden of Eden. Daily, direct access spirit to spirit or heart to heart with God. He's present 24/7 and He waits for our invitation for Him to join us in our darkest, most painful places of life. Nothing about this life, our existence, our challenges, how we use our gift of choice etc. has God concerned, confused or disengaged. Nor is He overwhelmed or disgusted. No. God knows marriage is hard. God knows that the various types of handicaps or physical illness will cause us to question who He is. He knows the evil that people do to one another. Heat breaking yes, but He's the God who walks among His people He's never taken off guard and you know why? Because He's already put those things to death in the spiritual and He wants you and I to know and experience it too. He wants those Garden of Eden moments with us. He's saying, babe, will you bring that to me? Will you trust me with that pain, that emotion, your reaction? I've already healed that on the cross but I want you to allow me to walk you through your personal pain because I want you to experience, first-hand, the healing I've provided. I want you to see how much I love you as you let me dismantle the lie based thinking or the painful memories you have. I give double for the what the enemy has robbed you of. I take the very thing that satan wanted to destroy you with and I flip it producing good things in your life. I bring redemption, I bring restoration. Allow me to remind your heart of Matthew 11:28-30, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your soul. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Making time is a challenge. Accepting God's grace as a way of life is humbling and therefore it struggles against our pride/our flesh, but there may be an even bigger challenge for the flesh and that is to have the courage to see God for who He really is. Not who we want Him to be and not who we think He should be. It threatens our flesh because we may have to redefine some foundational things we have been building our life on. I actually think it might even be more scary to change direction when we realize that some of our foundational blocks have been lies. All the more reason to give God space (by being still) and allow Him to reveal Himself to us in every context of life, most especially in the context of pain and suffering. If we can do that and actually embrace who He is even though it may be in direct opposition to what we thought would be, or what we want it to be … that's the place of transformation, where we step into more and more of who we were created to be. Where we find the kind of purpose that even if it's the hardest thing we've ever done, we've never felt more alive, fulfilled and rewarded. (side note: God moves in unique ways with us as the individual He created us to be but what we experience or the revelations we receive with Him will never contradict God's character and nature. If you feel that God is revealing Himself and it is in opposition to His word, question the source. If not inline with God, it is not of Him). Do you have the courage today to give God those micro moments of engagement with the emotions or feelings that need some healing, maturing; things that need a closer inspection even though it will challenge the way you perceive yourself? I would encourage you to start today and try to catch yourself in those type moments. Interrupt where those emotions will take you. Pause, breathe and engage God with these 3 actions steps/conversation that were in the study (I've added some of my words for the way I shared this message but they are in the same in nature). God, what is happening with regard to what I'm experiencing or feeling? God, help me to perceive what you reveal and give me courageous ears to hear. God, show me what your grace looks like in this moment. And I'd even add this question for God ... Who do you want to be for me in this situation? The more time we spend with God to process the impact or purge the residue of this life, the more peaceful, and the more beautiful life becomes. We don't have to wait for heaven to enjoy the heart of the Father, the joy of the Son, Jesus nor the wisdom/revelations of Holy Spirit. We can know a slice of heaven, a small taste of the Garden of Eden in the here and now. All it takes are micro moments of pausing, of investing our time in the heart of God. When we do, we watch our meager offer, our 5 loaves and 2 fish if you will, multiplied beyond our imagination.

In this episode of Parents Understood, we discuss the importance of micro moments in parenting, and how they can positively impact children and parent-child relationships. We emphasize noticing the good in children's behavior, using soft and gentle touch paired with praise, practicing active listening and validation, incorporating mindful moments to build self-regulation, and setting clear boundaries to promote distress tolerance. These small but meaningful interactions foster a safe and secure environment for children, leading to stronger connections and better communication within the family. We give examples of how these micro moments can be integrated into everyday activities and routines. We also acknowledge the challenges of implementing these strategies consistently, especially in stressful situations.
