It's All Coming Together: Grief, Praise and Trusting the Holy Spirit

Two weeks ago, Jay Love was in mourning, and she didn't want to show up. In this Tuesday Thoughts episode, she takes you into that season. It started with a thrifting trip, where grief, isolation and heavy thoughts followed her from store to store.

If you're grieving, feeling distracted by your own thoughts, or learning to trust God when life looks unstable, this one is for you.

What if the signs you’re waiting for are already here - in the tree, the wind, and the river you keep overlooking? Jay Love unpacks a powerful revelation about Bara-"God as Creator" and shows how hidden movement, measured growth, and fresh water point to the kind of breakthrough you can’t always see at first.

Drawing from Bishop Jason Nelson’s "Leaves Are Not Enough," sermon -Psalm 46, Isaiah, and Ezekiel 47, Jay traces a deep spiritual thread through Scripture: leaves are not the full story, the river keeps flowing, and what looks barren can still be on the edge of revival.

If you’ve been waiting in silence, wrestling with what God is doing, or trying to understand your current season, this message meets you there.

What starts with a conversation, a resurfaced older episode, and a quiet morning devotional becomes a deep walk through Psalm 37 and Isaiah 40.

Jay unpacks what it really means to hope, why "fret" is more than just worry, and how the wrong posture can keep you from seeing what God is already saying.

Action items

• Examine where worry and distraction are crowding out rest.
• Practice humility instead of striving for recognition.
• Treat waiting as spiritual preparation, not inactivity.
• Ask whether your life is making Jesus recognizable to others.
• Focus on walking as Jesus walked in daily decisions, not just in belief.

Language barriers aren’t always about words; they can come from misunderstanding, pride, assumptions, or a lack of shared purpose. This episode explores how clarity, humility, and unity can strengthen our relationships, faith, and work together. Not every disagreement means it’s time to walk away; sometimes it’s an opportunity to grow.

A short solo encouragement about spiritual clarity, using the image of dirty glasses to talk about how negative thinking, distractions, and toxic situations can cloud judgment.

Most of us don’t realize that the pauses, pruning, and slowdowns in our lives are actually signs of growth ...if we choose to see them that way. In this powerful episode, Jay Love uncovers how what feels like setbacks or delays are, in fact, strategic steps toward your next level.

Inspired by biblical wisdom and practical business principles, she reveals how to identify when you’re merging into your destiny versus being abruptly cut back, and why both are essential for healthy growth.

In this episode, Jay Love shares insights on returning to life's basics and embracing imperfection in pursuit of excellence. Whether you're navigating personal growth or creative projects, these reflections encourage simplicity, presence, and trust in the process.

Practical Reflection: Take a moment today to pause, breathe, and notice one thing through each of your senses. Ask yourself:

• What do I hear?
• What do I see?
• What do I smell?
• What do I taste?
• What do I feel?

Then consider how this small reset could help you return to a calmer, more grounded version of yourself.
