This week we were blessed specifically by a group from Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky. They prayerfully, and skillfully, created a time for the teachers to share our hearts with one another. We learned more about each other in one day than we thought possible. We spent the entire day telling our stories. The good, the bad, and the ugly. I will never forget what I learned about my brothers and sisters, and how God has used so many experiences of ours to create a work of art, a symphony, a perfect equation, a masterpiece of His own.
One of the ladies blessed us with her art. Using her calligraphy talents, she drew signs for anyone who wanted one. She asked for a name and a word and/or Bible verse to go along with it.
Here is mine. You may recognize the verse.
On day two of our time, the SCC ladies took us to Incredible Pizza for a day of childish, rambunctious fun.
Here is the proof.
I am so thankful for the people out there who see what we do and partner with us to give an amazing group of young people an opportunity to see something more than the hurt and trauma of their pasts.
