It has been such a pleasure getting to know you and Michelle on a deeper level during this Soul Flourishing Community experience.  I didn’t know quite what to expect, but it checked every box I would have hoped for.  Thank you for all the prayer, time, and effort you put into creating such a rich and unique soul ‘flourishing’ experience.  I feel that my life has been enriched deeply because of it.

To me, the Soul Flourishing experience has meant peace. Reflection.  A deliberate, scheduled time to allow God to speak, through Kim, Michelle, and other members of the cohort by a word or a picture.  One morning prior to our gathering I had penned in my journal asking God if all the little things I had done mattered.  During our all too brief time together Michelle says to all of us, “Every little thing you do matters.” She then used a story and picture that underscored what she had affirmed.  I thanked God for that moment and have shared her illustration countless times with friends and clients.  The group makes an invaluable contribution to my own well-being.

Soul Flourishing provided time, space, and prompting to be still and tune into what God is doing in my life. Taking time for my own soul care is essential to be able to serve others. It enables me to be more in tune with the Holy Spirit’s leading and empowering rather than relying on my own wisdom and strength. That allows me to be more present, authentic, and safe. It helps me remember that God has invited me to join him in his work, rather than me trying to convince him to join me in mine.
