This... Still... Again... Always. I hate that it is a much needed reminder in my life. And yet, I am thankful to know it to be true that the status quo is not worth protecting and that the God I serve is big enough to move outside of the systems and structures that have done harm to try and maintain it. April is ending. Two years have flown by. In May, we move on. What lies ahead is unknown. But there will be both time for grieving what was not to be, and space for growing into what is. Thanks be to God. Be kind to yourselves today. Drop your shoulders. Relax your eyebrows. Lower your tongue from the roof of your mouth. Breathe deeply. Change is often both sad and good. And that's okay. I love you, friends.
