Today’s challenge: Pray for your spouse, and then do something that makes them feel valued and cherished—not because they earned it, but because the Lord gave them to you as a gift. 🤍

Some of us might feel like our spouses already know we love them, so isn’t that good enough? God intended for marriage to be a lifelong commitment and therefore it requires a lifelong input of effort and intention. Read more for five practical ways to love your spouse well.

We are excited to welcome one of our newest additions to the team, Alicia Burns! She shares, "Many years ago, I was asked by our dear friend, John Kuebler, to serve on the Board of Directors of Journey, and I was able to serve in that position for two years. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for this ministry! When it was time for me to find a site for practicum and internship, this was where I wanted to be. It feels like I am coming full circle in getting to work for Journey Counseling Ministries, and I am thrilled to join their team.

For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for counseling and healing from brokenness. Fifteen years ago, I founded Cross Keys Equine Therapy and have been the Executive Director and one of the equine professionals that walks alongside clients on their journeys toward healing and growth. After seeing counseling from the sidelines and much prompting from the Lord, I decided to return to school to obtain a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University."

We are so grateful to have Alicia with us! You can find out more about her, and information to schedule appointments here: https://www.journeycounselingministries.org/alicia-burns

🪴 Is Self-Care Always at the Bottom of Your To-Do List?
Between work, parenting, ministry, relationships, and the everyday responsibilities of life, it can feel nearly impossible to slow down and care for yourself. Many people know self-care is important… but still struggle to make space for it consistently without guilt or feeling “selfish.”

The truth is: caring for yourself is not selfish. It is part of stewarding the mind, body, and relationships God has entrusted to you. When we neglect our own emotional, physical, and spiritual needs for too long, it often impacts every area of life — including our ability to care for others well.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, emotionally drained, or simply trying to find better balance, we hope this encourages you. 💚

When is the last time I checked in with myself and practiced self-care?
