Statement Regarding Hannah-Kate Williams
https://t.co/kvgnHb0cb9
“With my whole heart, I want her to find the healing, peace, and justice that she so desperately wants and deserved as a child. But I cannot want those things for her and look the other way as she continues causing destruction to others and to herself.”
So much of American Christianity has lost its grasp on the gospel of Jesus to the extent that when you say “welcome the immigrant,” “feed the hungry,” and “help the poor,” you get condemned for being “liberal” rather than simply identified as a follower of Jesus.
@abby_e_o top 10 funniest things I’ve ever said was after going through this when he asked “what do you guys think about all this stuff?” and I said “honey I’m home!”
the class erupted, absolute glee 😂
This year, normalize loving the other side of the aisle well.
When the media sources aim to rile you up for a buck, do not misrepresent, betray, lie about, nor slander these humans, but defend them, speak well of them, and say the kindest things we can about all they do.
came to a coffee shop to get some work done but unfortunately I recognize someone across the room and cannot remember their name or where we met, so I'll be pondering that instead
Stay an actual person—complex, conflicted at times and ever under construction by your merciful Maker—a person who, like your fellow people, does not always even understand yourself. Don’t let these culture wars turn you into the mere embodiment of a side or an issue or agenda.
Dear All,
This holiday season,
May you be given the gift of feeling complete & being in perfect peace. Lacking nothing.
Emotionally, spiritually, physically, mentally.
Needing nothing. Wanting for nothing. Gratitude. Unspeakable joy. May you receive the text/call that you’ve been hoping for. May you smile from ear to ear. On the inside & out.
May you trust God’s timing. He has you. Tell him you can no longer do it w/o him. Then watch. Sit back. Be still. Allow yourself to be surrounded in the awesomeness that is God.
Be encouraged. May the ppl who genuinely regard you highly & want to see you at your best, be in your life from this day forth. May you have the discernment & the wisdom to know who those ppl are, and the strength to say goodbye to all others. It’s your time to be happy & free. Free from guilt. Free from all the burdens you’ve carried that were never your cross to bear.
Oh magnify the Lord!
For he is WORTHY to be praised.
He and ONLY HE
is WORTHY
to be praised.
🎀🙏🏾
