This is beyond us. This is more than personal. What we are being called to do is to live freedom. Be freedom. Don’t apologize for being radical. Be it. Live it. Push it…because it’s what is needed to survive. Bring up the heaviness that has sunk to the bottom. Mix it in. Blend the hearty […]
A lot has happened in the past year. In retrospect, many things have shifted for us where at the time it felt like change was slow. It was wonderful to sit and reminisce about where we have been this year, and get excited for where it is we’re headed! According to my WordPress annual report, […]
