Intolerance to Uncomfortable
Winter reminds me of my intolerance to being uncomfortable. Specifically, to being cold. As you might imagine, the past two days have not been my favorite thing.
It is my broken, worldly nature leading me to believe I should not be uncomfortable. I can come up with a long list of things I “deserve”. I “deserve” to have things go my way. I “deserve” to be warm. I “deserve” to not be inconvenienced. I “deserve” to get what I want.
But wait! There's more...
No Need to Rush
The world is geared towards rush, loss of opportunity, and missing out. The push is to get ahead at all costs. “The early bird gets the worm”. We "fight rush hour” traffic. We eat “fast food”. We order groceries from “Instacart”. We call the activities of daily living a “rat race”. Every message we receive tells us to hurry up, do more, and be more.
In contrast, Scripture encourages us to “Be still, and know” (Ps 46:10), “the battle is not yours” (2 Chr 20:15), and to “wait patiently” (Ps 37:7).
Let's talk about changes to Juniper & Oak Wellness Co...
You may have notice things look a little different on the website and blog.
After much prayer, Juniper & Oak Wellness Co. has placed a pause on its Nurse Practitioner Well Care Services.
The good news...we will continue to offer Christ-centered Wellness Coaching Sessions. And...coaching session fees have been adjusted to make them more affordable while still providing expert education and encouragement to discover and address root problems, enhance your overall well-being, optimize your health, improve your quality of life and cultivate long-term wellness.
We are learning to leverage our God-given resources to care for our God created body.

What I am loving...
Spring is finally here!!
This expanded my view on the crucifixion.
Interesting discussion on the Lord's Prayer.
But GOD!
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:19
With love,
Dana
