Day 18 of Write 31 Days and Five Minute Friday for this week. Today’s word prompt is “active.”

Music playing, youth worshipping, stories told, talent show, and so much more. I’m at our synods youth gathering and it has been very active. An awesome keynote speaker in Rachel Kurtz.

It always amazes me how God uses this time and space to bless people. Lives are changed. People come away feeling not so alone. It is one of my favorite events, watching the board plan the event from start to finish.

I got the privilege to share a story, my story and leading a workshop on grief, loss and mental illness. It is such holy space to share in these kids lives and for them to know and trust they are not alone. Thanks be to God.
