I’ve been gathering my thoughts for the past week. Trying to figure out what this aching, unrelenting feeling I was having. On top of the absolute TERROR I was experiencing for obvious 🧊reasons.
On Tuesday, the gorgeous girls in my weekly prayer group helped me hash it out.
I’m tired… mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually. Just tired.
Not because what is going on is new… but because it’s familiar. And it seems like people of color are the ones who share that sentiment.
And that’s… frustrating… exhausting (to say the least).
So this week, I chose rest and rejected guilt.
And encouraged those I support in my community to assess what they need (and do the same if that’s what they feel called to do).
And I’m here to do that for the part of my community that doesn’t sit with me intimately weekly.
Please. Take a step back… seek God… accept God’s invitation to rest… and let yourself be guided through these absolutely dreadful times.
I love you and I’m praying for you, Black girl, and for all of the beautiful beautiful Minnesota people… for the undocumented… the melanated (and the un-melanated)… for the brave (and the cowardice) in positions of power. But most of all, I am praying for protection from our very own government. Which is nuts to type but it is what we need. This is not the time for pretty, PC prayers. Help us, God. Help us all. 🤎
PS: I’ve shared a few diff ways to engage if you have capacity from . They begin on slide 7. And thank you thank you thank you for your beautiful, intentional work ❤️
