| i am learning that.... encouragement & truth telling are the only things that will make community work. "committing to the shit" or bearing conflict and seeing one another on to who we are becoming is the only way to sharpen one another.
i am praying that He will use all our motives, good or bad, and everything we breathe into our lives to unify us into one body.
do what you can, with where you are & what you have. & be thankful.
& most importantly: do not worry. & sleep in peace. {in the calm company of our God}.

| “Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself
completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved
person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also
of little love.” –Erich Fromm
“Love a man, even in his sin, for that love is a likeness of the divine
love, and is the summit of love on earth” — Fyodor Dostoyevsky
“When love beckons to you follow him,Though his ways are hard and
steep.And when his wings enfold you yield to him,Though the sword
hidden among his pinions may wound you.And when he speaks to you
believe in him,Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north
wind lays waste the garden.” –Kahil Gibran
“The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea” –Isak Dinesen
love always hopes...

| 10 My lover spoke and said to me, "Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, and come with me.
11 See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone.
12 Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.
13 The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me."
