Fuel You Capacity

The capacities in which each of us hold is sort a like a car and fuel it needs to keep going. Cars are not meant to run on E constantly. When that happens, it’s really not good for the engine and we can tend to stress out, hoping we make it to the gas station in time before the shameful feeling of getting stuck on the side of the road.

We are meant and designed to honor our capacities, too! There are certain elements or ingredients to our day we can make sure to keep up with, which will in return honor our capacities and keep us fueled up!

When we are fueled up well with capacity, we are them much more likely to minimize any potential relational blow ups, we are more likely to keep our relational joy on, and quite honestly, our quality of life will probably increase, too!

So join me, let’s learn to fuel our capacities well and let’s be a people who normalize honoring our capacities.

We want to spread joy, let’s make it happen!

Ideas for staying fueled:

• Incorporate “play” into your day

• Add in rest times

• Socialize with people who are “glad to be with you” and help you grow into the best version of yourself

• Allow yourself space to spiritually grow

A poem appreciating honoring capacity:

Fuel your capacity

before travesty

Minimize the blow ups ❌❌❌

That’s pretty tuff

Balance is essential

Good for the mental

Protect relational joy

We learn how to balance

Safe, whole, steady

Fuel yourself well

Many things go swell

Let’s be a people

Who honor capacity

Learning the Dance of Heaven here on Earth

I am so happy I could cry

wanna soar high

in intimacy with Him

Jesus, you are my win

nothing comes close

To your friendship

u know me most

just what I need

you are the seed of hope, joy, peace, love

You teach us how to shove

the enemies lies

tie em in a knot

& make it stop

throw em out the door

of our hearts

gives us fresh starts

with truth, identity, & grace

no need to chase

less than what you desire

you take us outta the mire

gives us a sound mind

so we can be that inside dime

we’re all made to be

can’t wait for full on eternity

but until then

we learn the dance of heaven

here & now

step by step

true joy in you

Riding the Wave Song

Cuz I’m riding the wave riding the wave with you

Let me take your hand

Let me show you how to stand

And stay youuuuuuu

Whatever tide may come

Towards the prizeeee

Closer together

lovers forwverrrr

Best friends

It only gets better

with time

Cuz we’re riding the wave, riding the wave with you

Joyful Noise

Music to my ears

happy tears

a fine beat

a sweet melody

smiles, sways, close my eyes

feel that joy come to rise

music is a gift to our souls

we hear something good

& crave more, using it as a tool

to regulate our joy levels

when we feel disheveled

we have music to hear

Even better we get to share

the good stuff

& spread that musical joy

to the ones we love

& care for

I will live and not die

I will live and not die 

I will learn how to thrive 

In the unknowns and to be’s 

He’s the only one I need 

You are truer than true 

No one is more important than you 

Yahweh is for today 

Tomorrow and longer term

I’ve got so much to learn 

From his tenderness

He takes my hearts mess 
And wraps it like a bow 

Shows me where to sow 

I will live and not die 

I will learn how to thrive

The unknowns do not scare me 

I take courage, under His wing

That’s where I look and see

The beauty 
Of what He’s doing 

And will continue to do 

I will live and not die 
My joy, in Him 

Authenticity

authenticity is key

but what is it

how do you know

when you hit the gold

of being real

keepin it genuine

cuz that’s what’s we need

no more filter

no more mask

how do we achieve

the task of creating safety for everybody

where they feel free to show up brokenness and all

still welcomed, loved, and beloved

wouldn’t that be cool?

building some glad to be togetherness

is one tool

that can change guarded to open hearted

that can change fear to drawing near

that can change water into wine

bringing new life

dining together

feasting on joy with eachother

A perspective on Riding the Wave

Sometimes writing hits differently when it’s poetry!

Writing poetry might just be the exact outlet your brain needs to function its best & healthiest, in return, providing greater space for joyfully connecting with self, God, & others.

“God would you give me spiritual vision to see the mission of what you’re calling me to

not gonna lie, this is a trial sometimes I don’t know if I can do

But in you, I am strengthened, in you, you are my source

you revive me, my capacity is lengthened

your genuine grace I see

I can do days on days of this

Bring it on if that’s what it takes

As long as I have you to show me new ways

To move, groove, and ride the wave

Trial me all day, I’m not gonna cave

Cuz your love sustains

Even adds new membranes

In ways I need to succeed

In this mission, vision, & reality I think you gave

& if it’s true, I’ve got no better choice

Than to ride the wave with you

I’m finally surfin with you

Surfin on your peace

Surfin on your joy

Surfin on your love

May it be so for others, too”

A Refreshing Perspective on Attachment Pain

Attachment pain

It stresses your joy vein

Sadness, grief, loss

Connection feels like it’s been tossed

What to do it’s overwhelming your best you

Thankfully there’s hope

A different way to soothe

Making all things new

Freshly re-entering that joyous feeling of youth

But how to do it

Here are a few tips

If you choose to commit

Surely good things will grow

Out of the sorrow you’re holding

Sing, pray, dance

Connect with those friends

Where loss doesn’t stand a chance

Go on that run

Soak in some sun

Tell yourself “this feeling will subside”

“I just need to flow with the tide”

“Tomorrow will be a new day”

“So today I ride the wave”

“Tomorrow I will do the same”

“Til this pain subsides”

“& a fresh tide, shows me a new wave to ride”

Attachment pain. We all feel it. We all experience it. We all have access to solution for it. Let’s learn, together how to ride with the wave of attachment pain so we can live into our most joy-filled, best selves.

a spontaneous afternoon

a candle lit dinner

we are growing

learning how to rest

to be His children

is truly the best

A God who designed us

to be filled up on Him

He’s perfect, fun, creative

It’s the biggest win

Shabbat we will grow in

Shabbat we will live from

endless eternity

“nothing will stop you”

from pursuing me, all eternity

it is your prophetic destiny

enjoy and share, like you do

Worn

full schedule

many friends

loving people

it’s not a a trend

It’s a way of life

that breeds joy and light

but in my own might

I become worn

but I get torn

because people

waiting to be loved

the needs are great

the resource is few

so I try to be two of me

but that can’t possibly be

cuz God made me one

He says rest

I’ll take care of other’s stress

you need only be still

Go play

Go create

Go enjoy my playground

nature is the world’s renown

of beauty, strength, and opportunity

to spend time with the majesty

of all creation

Go play, Kailey

imagine, dream,

let me remind you, of who you are

my wild child, full of adventure

never let up

just let me fill your cup

enjoy, and spend time with me

cuz I love you

Daughtership

Love affair

To be His Bride

I can wade through any tide

I can love wide

and sit side by side with danger

and not be overcome

Because my lover won

My heart

Long ago

There’s no stopping his daughter

from becoming

Who she’s made to be

Loved, redeemed, free

I belong to the one who made me

Fearfully, wonderfully, chosen

His affirmations of me are woven

in my inner being

through my mind

I hear His voice

“you’re one of a kind”

Daughter, friend, lover

You start a trend

on true identity

looking to me

as the one to show you

Who you are

Those scars you have

They’re lovely

They tell a story

of strength, resilience, victory

The growth you’ve done

Is preparation for what’s to come

I will not stop the good work

till its complete in you

On the day I’m coming through

to make all things new

Daughtership

It’s true

You’re mine

I am yours

I am secure with you

SONS AND DAUGHTERS

For His glory

We can trust in everyway 

He’s here to stay 

Not goin anywhere 

He says draw near

Childlike joy

childlike with adult friends, is a beautiful feeling, leaves me reelin, in the best way

why do we loose childlikeness when we do adult things?

we’re not meant to loose it, yet if we don’t choose it, the work swing runs hard, & our inner child get’s marred

sorta lost it once, but it came back more true,
& if you’ve lost it, not late for a do over, it’s in you

freedom, love, adventure, and to belong, my hope for all, please come along

the God who created us, is one we can trust, for goodness, safety, peace, and joy

he’s the one who designed us, let us enjoy

the work of his hands, is beautiful

he designed you wonderfully, too

cmon let’s be childlike, the world needs you

Joy Bonding verses Fear Bonding

Joy bonding is the way to go

Fear bonding is a blow

The health of relationships

Is dependent on our awareness

It’s time to slow down & go to town on reflection

Am I creating joyful connections or fearful bonds?

You’re made to be a joy maker, not a joy stealer

In our perfect designs, who we’re created to be, we help set others free

With love, with joy, with peace, with goodness to share, with abundance & generosity

You’re portion is meant to be sharing the things that are good, right, and true

Let’s keep this going & help make broken things newww!

It starts with relationship & how you interact

Let’s take time to counteract fear with love, fear with joy

Cmon we can grow together & watch this garden of goodness flourish

A poem on Depression

A hole you stumble down
Until you hit the bottom
And can only hear the sound
Of despair, an emptying, numbness

You are broken
You are worn
Fatigue moves through your veins
The will to live is dwindling

Yet the way out of the pit
is to climb up
How tho? When will to exist ceases?
Wounded you are
It is time for rescue

That life line, that voice that says
You do not have to do this alone anymore

There are hands extending a ladder
From the top of the pit, life awaits
Offering Steps towards wholeness
Standing in the gap
Making effort to help you back
To where you’re made to be
Shooting for the stars
& life, full of color

One step at a time they say
One good habit, One small change
Becomes investment over time
We will climb out the pit of depression, together
One step at a time

The steps are like a ladder
Each new habit
takes you out of the internal cage
It moves you up a step
And day by day, you’re getting closer
To where the light shines on you
To where hope, purpose, & brighter days shine on

You will surely see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living, out of the pit

Depression does NOT have its last say
Your life is valuable, more precious than gold
We need you, to come alive
