hanging out in nashville
Wow, thanks to all the comments on the last post. I’m thankful for this community of wise people. We are talking as a staff about how to take the next step forward in this, and much of what you have told me i have repackaged as my own and talked about it to them. Never underestimate the value of other people’s perspectives. A wise [wo]man surrounds him/herself with counselors.
On another note, i’m at a conference for people who spend their days doing the same thing I do. It’s been very encouraging to hear the victories and struggles of others around the nation. The victories have been more encouraging to me than the struggles this time around. It’s catapulted me forward in my heart…that there are things I’m not doing that are possible and are needed, and it’s up to me to start doing those things.
And I been exposed to myself by my creator. He’s showing me things about myself that He didn’t create me to do. And things i’m doing that are hurting the family I’m in community with. I just needed to be called out on it, instead of getting permission to keep on doing it.
I feel ready to die. And ready to live.

I feel like maybe you haven’t told me everything that this post is talking about, but I’d love to hear about it if you want to tell me!
And thanks Ash for the prayer!!
