The Name Juniper & Oak

Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. Isaiah 55:13

The name, Juniper and Oak Wellness, comes from the promises of God, His intentions towards His children found in Isaiah 55 and Isaiah 61. The Lord promises joy and peace in Isaiah 55:12, so much so all of creation celebrates. He will take what is painful, ugly, and undesirable converting it into something beautiful, steadfast and valuable. “Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.” (Isaiah 55:13) But the Lord does not stop there, in chapter 61:1-3, we are told of His watch care over those who are hurting, marginalized or oppressed. We are promised He will replace captivity with freedom, comfort for mourning, beauty for ashes, and praising for those who despair.  Those who experience this transformation will “be called oaks of righteousness”.  

He is a kind and trustworthy God who wants us to be whole and well. He wants us to know we are cherished and seen. Isaiah 55:12-13 and Isaiah 61:1-3 are the perfect summation of the vision He has given for Juniper and Oak. The mission is to meet each woman where she is with the unfailing love of God. To ensure she identifies herself as God sees her, not as the world wants her to see herself. To maintain and improve overall health and wellness based on His principles and His perfect plan for her life. To allow the Father to “sanctify her through and through” so the “whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless”.  1 Thessalonians 5:23

It is important to note, however, the remaining portion of Isaiah 61:3 “oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor”.  As Isaiah 55 notes, this transformative love is given “for the Lord’s renown, for an everlasting sign, that will endure forever.” Ultimately, what is for our good is for God’s glory.  And we know and can be encouraged, “the One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it”.  1 Thessalonians 5:24
