It’s amazing how simply being in community with others who care deeply can lift the weight of the world’s brokenness. Hope doesn’t always come from fixing things immediately but from knowing we’re not alone in the work. Your words are a reminder that God moves through people, and together, real change is possible. Thank you for sharing!

Sometimes I try to skip that step and jump into action… I feel like that will be one of the blessings of this group, it will help to make good soil where the seeds can grow strong and rooted in the earth. Thank you for these words, Katy!

It’s me. Hi. I’m the poster its me. 🙂
Good ingredients make a good stew. May it be so.

Yes please. May we find it with each other, and may we find it with those suffering. I used to fear that would swallow me up and add to my suffering. But by some miracle, it does not. Perhaps the idea that spiritual gifts increase with use (in contrast to tangible ones decreasing) is real.

I wonder if we can use them as a fitting definition for the word “solidarity”?

Such hope in gathering with big-hearted, clear-eyed Christians. Surely God can renew and birth beauty and justice as we work together. (I’m not able to see who posted this, and I’d love to know.)
