Marriage...⠀
"You're with the love of your life forever!"⠀
"It's a crazy awesome experience!" ⠀
"It is one thing you cannot truly understand until you are in it!"⠀
"It's like having a sleepover with your best friend every night!"⠀
⠀
Have any of you heard these sayings before? Even if you're not married, I'm sure you've heard one of these! And they are true! BUT the other true moments are the harder, non-glorified moments that we don't talk about or really see in movies or romance novels. These are the things that deepen your marriage, that build intimacy and love in places you didn't think that it could.⠀
Tobin and I love each other very much, but with that comes a lot of butting heads and conversations that frankly I would rather not have! ⠀
The other day I wanted to take a picture of him while we were out for breakfast and he gave me attitude because he was hangry, and resulted in a silent breakfast because we were too mad to say anything! ⠀
Another great one that happened the other day my husband yelled from the bathroom, "Dear! I need some TP!" ⠀
Or even everyday when Tobin or I get home from work, we always kiss the other hello and give each other a hug⠀
Guys, THIS is what marriage is!⠀
It is those everyday moments that make up the intimacy, deep connection, and intentionality behind those bigger well known quotes I said above. Those little non-glorified things are what actually make those quotes true and full of meaning!⠀

How will you be intentional in your relationship today?⠀
⠀
Tobin and I love writing little notes to each other. Especially on the weeks where we are really busy and seem to only see each other briefly for dinner before going to bed. This is our way of being intentional in a busy season. ⠀
⠀
Now you may have a different love language, and that's ok! Think of what your significant other's love language is and then do something for them with that in mind. You'll be amazed at how much they will feel loved and how that will deepen your relationship.⠀
⠀
Also, this doesn't even have to apply to a romantic relationship, this applies to alllll relationships! You need to be intentional with your girlfriends or your guy friends so that way your community around you is also flourishing and deepening. ⠀
⠀
A little intentionality goes a long way! So again I ask, how will you be intentional in your relationship today? ⠀

Communicate and Date Idea jars— @lisaoliveratherapy inspired the Communication jar! We will pull from each on Sundays- one topic of discussion or a growth opportunity, and one date idea for the coming week! We left some extra papers to add to them both when we think of things too ☺️

I’d be lying if I said Kid’s Church always went smoothly. But these moments are what it’s all about. I get it...not everyone feels called to children’s ministry, but we’re all called to make disciples. Some people tell me they don’t know how I do this every Sunday or why I would want to. Well...because this. #Repost @kidsinaction_libertydowntown with @get_repost

So this is what Kid’s Church looks like. This isn’t babysitting. This is encouraging a 7 year old that he can open our service in prayer in front of 27 of his peers. And when nerves try to sneak in, we’re there. We’re there to gently remind him that he’s got this. That God has made him bold and he’s ready. He doesn’t have to wait until he’s an adult to lead. He’s already a leader. #kidmin #leadershipdevelopment #diciplemaking #intentionalrelationship @liberty_downtown
#ABCsofOT with @shannenmarie_ot #seemystories// Each day in April for OT month I am adding to my OT Advocacy Alphabet! Please join me if compelled.
U is for Use of Self.
The phrase “use of self” refers to the ways that a therapist reflects or uses their own feelings, thoughts, or experiences to enhance the process of therapy. Use of self should be utilized thoughtfully and with intent. The purpose of use of self is to both build and develop rapport as as well as to increase patient engagement and thereby facilitate a better outcome during the OT process.
I think, like with everything else in this world that matters, it takes practice combined with a little luck and kindness to develop this skill set. Within every person is the innate ability to use/incorporate their thoughts and personal revelations for the betterment of others and/or for the purpose of creating an even opportunity playing field as such in the case as a therapist that is trying to help the patient help herself rather than the patient continuing to be dependent on the therapist for decision making.
With intentional practice it becomes easier and more natural to incorporate use of self in clinical practice. It can be a serious game changer in your OT Toolbox❤️! It might be the tool that illicits readiness to participate fully in OT treatment in a patient who is on the less than motivated side.
I used to think that a soulmate was only the person I ever fell in love with but now I know it can be the person that is the most intentional with me, the person that will give their life for me, the person that has an everlasting love for me, the person I would do the same for.

Intentional
One week since I left my wee green island. It is scary beginning again in a country far from my homeland. I am grateful for intentional people who have been present and helped me start to find my sense of home. I’m wired to find home in people. There aren’t many who can live into that role for any of us. Only a few can lift their gaze above their day to day and create opportunities to connect. These are the ones who not only help build, but are, the nest around this ‘far flung bird’.
Cape Town, I’m ready to celebrate a week of being in your company and the courage it continually requires to mine out the gold you have in store for me.
