I'm leading a small group at Encounter Church NY and wanted to open it up here as well.

✨ Identity Through Movement™ | Saturday Gathering Reminder ✨

Life has a way of pulling us into our heads—our schedules, responsibilities, worries, and endless to-do lists. But God invites us to return to the present moment and remember that He is here, even now.

Join us this Saturday from 10:00–11:00 AM at Encounter Church as we slow down, breathe deeply, move gently, and make space to encounter the Lord in our bodies.

🌿 This Week's Mindfulness Practice: Hand-to-Heart Breathing

Take a moment today to pause.

🤍 Place one hand over your heart and one hand over your abdomen.
🤍 Inhale slowly through your nose for a count of four.
🤍 Exhale gently through your mouth for a count of six.
🤍 As you breathe, quietly pray:

"Abba, I receive Your peace."
"Abba, I release what I was never meant to carry."

Repeat for 3–5 breaths, noticing the rise and fall beneath your hands and allowing your body to soften into His presence.

📖 Scripture Meditation

"Be still, and know that I am God." — Psalm 46:10

Stillness is not inactivity. It is an act of trust. It is choosing to rest in the truth that God is holding what we cannot.

Whether you're feeling strong, weary, anxious, or simply in need of a reset, there is a place for you here.

🕊️ Identity Through Movement™
📍 Encounter Church
🗓 Saturdays
⏰ 10:00–11:00 AM

Bring water, a yoga mat if you have one but not necessary, and faith to see God move in your body as we reconnect with the One who formed us, loves us, and calls us whole.

It’s here. His Banner Over Us now has a home online.

This space was created for women who are ready to reconnect with their bodies, restore their identity, and move under the love of Abba — without pressure, shame, or performance.

You can now explore offerings, download the free Move Into Wholeness reset, and learn how to bring HBOU to your church, retreat, group, or organization.

I’m ready to begin:

God says you are way more capable and amazing than you give Him credit for…read that again Beloved. 💗

Your body isn't betraying you—it may simply be asking for movement.

Many women over 40 assume stiffness is just "part of aging."

The truth?

The body often responds to gentle, consistent movement by improving mobility, reducing pain, and increasing energy.

Movement isn't punishment.

It's nourishment.

"In Him we live and move and have our being."
— Acts 17:28

✨ Gentle movement can be one of the ways we honor the temple God has given us.

🌿 His Banner Over Us believes movement is more than exercise—it's an invitation to reconnect with your body, renew your mind, and remember your identity as God's beloved.

✨ Follow along for weekly encouragement, practical movement tips, and faith-filled reminders that it's never too late to move into wholeness.

What is Identity Through Movement™?

Identity Through Movement is a Christ-centered practice of gentle movement, breath awareness, Scripture, and reflection designed to help people reconnect with God, their bodies, and their God-given identity. While some movements may look familiar to practices found in other disciplines, our purpose, foundation, and focus are rooted entirely in following Christ.

Your Body Was Never the Enemy

Sometimes we think we’re lazy…
unmotivated…
too emotional…
too tired…

But many women are actually living in a CONSTANT state of stress response.

The body was designed to protect us.
And when life has been heavy for a long time, our nervous system can forget how to rest.

That’s where the vagus nerve comes in.

The vagus nerve helps regulate:
-stress
-anxiety
-breathing
-heart rate
-digestion
-emotional safety

When we gently stimulate it, we help tell the body:

“You are safe now.”

And sometimes healing doesn’t begin with striving…
Sometimes it begins with slowing down enough to breathe again.

Here are 3 gentle exercises I use to help calm the nervous system and reconnect with the body God lovingly designed.

✨ Save this for stressful days
✨ Share with a woman carrying too much
✨ Join me Saturdays at Encounter Church for movement, mobility & restoration

To every mother…
The ones who carried babies.
The ones who carried burdens.
The ones who carried families, grief, dreams, disappointments, and prayers no one else ever saw.

Today we honor you. 🤍

At His Banner Over Us, we believe motherhood is more than a title—it is movement.
A constant pouring out.
A stretching.
A strengthening.
A becoming.

Some of you nurtured children from your own womb.
Some mother through mentorship, friendship, leadership, foster care, ministry, teaching, caregiving, or simply through the healing presence you bring into the lives around you.

And some are carrying silent ache today.
Missing mothers.
Longing to become mothers.
Grieving children.
Healing from hard stories.

There is space for all of us here.

May today remind you that your value was never tied to perfection, performance, or how much you were able to hold together.

You are already deeply loved.
Already seen.
Already worthy.

“His banner over me is love.” — Song of Songs 2:4

From all of us at His Banner Over Us, Happy Mother’s Day to the women who continue to move through life with courage, tenderness, resilience, and grace.

Keep coming back to yourself.
Keep coming back to Abba.
Keep coming back to the beautiful truth that there is still purpose, strength, and joy ahead of you.

With love,
HBOU 🤍

At His Banner Over Us, we believe healing and identity are often revealed layer by layer. 💙✨

This weekend, we had the incredible honor of participating in the Power Her Forward Girls Conference hosted by the Women’s Foundation of Genesee Valley.

Thank you to Krystle Ellis and the entire WFGV team for creating spaces where young women can encounter mentorship, creativity, leadership, and authentic encouragement.

HBOU founder Glenda Miller led an Art Expression session titled “Layers of Who I Am,” where participants created textured tissue paper artwork symbolizing their identity journeys.

Each layer represented something different:
✨ Experiences
✨ Emotions
✨ Strength
✨ Healing
✨ Dreams
✨ The parts of ourselves still unfolding

What made the session so powerful was that no two pieces looked alike — yet every single one carried beauty and meaning.

Events like this remind us why creative expression matters so deeply. Art can become language when words are hard to find. It can help young women process who they are, where they’ve been, and who they are becoming.

We are especially grateful that all three of Glenda’s daughters attended this year, including Lashae Mino who served as moderator for the “Life After High School” panel discussion. Watching multiple generations of women grow, lead, and support one another is exactly the kind of legacy-building that changes communities.

Thank you, WFGV, for pouring into the next generation with such intentionality and care. 💕
