Let's listen well to their stories

People of color have endured racial inequality in our country for hundreds of years.

April 28, 2020 by Seana Leave a Comment

Look Closely

Sometimes I walk through the day without looking closely. Some of the people in Israel during Jesus’s time missed looking closely too—and they missed recognizing the Messiah. How can we behold the beauty in our daily lives and God, who is at work?

When I tell my faith story, several pivotal moment When I tell my faith story, several pivotal moments have @calebwilds in them.
.
He was the guy God used to welcome me back into the church when I had strayed.
.
Quirky. Funny. And absolutely one of the best pastors I know.
.
He sees straight through your junk to the person God is forming in you. And does what he can, to draw that out.
.
My first job in ministry, was a door that he opened for me.
.
He encouraged my husband to ask me out.
.
He stood as the best man at our wedding.
.
He encouraged my husband in discovering his calling as a pastor.
.
He invited us to visit Dallas, which changed the projection of our ministry lives.
.
He cheers me on to write for ministry and create resources for the Body of Christ.
.
And most recently, he connected @jsonscot to the church that we are now serving at.
.
So when January 19th comes around, I think about the impact his life has made in our family.
.
Both Jason and I are blessed to have a friend like Caleb.
.
Happy birthday Caleb! The Scotts love you.
The trees in the back finally have snow. . So I wi The trees in the back finally have snow.
.
So I will sit here and enjoy my coffee as long as the silence lasts as the kids play outside.
.
How I have missed snowy branches!

Why I always round up when asked to donate to Rona Why I always round up when asked to donate to Ronald McDonald House.
.
We lived there for a month when my son struggled to survive his birth defect.
.
The floor of the bathroom became my altar.
.
And I am thankful for that room only a few blocks from my baby boy.

#neverforget
I miss my dad. . He's been gone 13 years, today. I miss my dad. 
.
He's been gone 13 years, today. I miss the way he would wrap his arms around me with one of his daddy hugs—that made everything okay.
.
He taught me that dreams take sacrifice and hard work. But if you dream big enough and work hard enough, dreams become your day job. 
.
He was an immigrant from Iran.
.
He came to the U.S. with $200 and a dream for a good education and a career as a civil engineer.
.
He served as an engineer in Vietnam and worked with a team that constructed the Port of Saigon—I have a copy of his commendation from the Navy.
.
And he landed his dream job that he worked for more than 30 years—rebuilding Los Angeles through the city's redevelopment agency.
.
His job was his career and his art. He dreamed of ways to preserve the old and meet modern uses. He enjoyed coordinating teams of architects, contractors, and designers to revitalize what some might see as places that should just be bulldozed. He was the ultimate nerdy re-purposer. 
.
We would go on dates and look at at his projects. He explained the challenges of using modern materials. The glimmer in his eye explaining his art taught me the pride of good work. And the joy of sharing creativity with others.
.
But most of all, he was my daddy. He believed in me. He cheered me on and sacrificed anything to help me reach my dreams. He wasn't perfect, but his love was deep.
.
Any time I called him at work—even if he was in a board meeting—he picked up the phone. His career took much of his time, but I knew I was his priority.
.
Letting go of him has been one of the biggest challenges of my life. Letting go and holding on.
.
If he could only hug my children.
.
At his funeral, a colleague of his said to me, "Greater than any building he built, you are his legacy now."
.
Those words seared into my soul.
.
So I dream. I work hard. I take the provision mom and dad left us, and I burn my candle at both ends studying and doing my art.
.
I may not build buildings. But I hope the thousands of words I craft in my lifetime, will build hearts.
.
LOVE YOU, DAD.
I used to pop these with Dad as a kid. . I could a I used to pop these with Dad as a kid.
.
I could almost feel him as we introduced our kids to jiffy Pop tonight.
.
What I would give for one more shared bowl of popcorn.

If you stand along the edge of the Grand Canyon, y If you stand along the edge of the Grand Canyon, you see the power of sustained rhythm. ⁣
.⁣
Rush. Flow. Rush. Flow. ⁣
.⁣
Thousands of years of the Colorado River rushing and flowing over rock  formed a 6,000-foot-deep canyon. ⁣
.⁣
That canyon leaves even the cynical in awe. ⁣
.⁣
And like that river forming the land, our rhythms affect us.⁣
.⁣
God knows that—he created rhythm.⁣
.⁣
In Genesis 1 we learn that the rhythms in nature were created by God. The sun rises and sets. Corn grows and withers.⁣
.⁣
In the Old Testament period, God’s people practiced the pattern of work and rest (sabbath), seasonal festivals, and sacrifices.⁣
.⁣
In the New Testament, we also see God-directed rhythms. ⁣
.⁣
Jesus and Peter practiced regular prayer, possibly the Jewish hours of prayer.⁣
.⁣
Jesus left the disciples with the rhythm of discipleship: to make disciples by baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything Jesus commanded.⁣
.⁣
And New Testament writers encouraged believers to sustain healthy rhythms such as: meeting regularly with other believers, confessing sins, practicing good works, and sharing the gospel.⁣
.⁣
Like the ancient fathers and mothers of our faith who practiced disciplined spiritual rhythms, we too can commit to practices that light our direction and provide space for lasting change.⁣

We join them and insist this year we will slim down. ⁣

But a few weeks later, we skip the gym for the comfort of our cotton sheets, and our determination sleeps—until the next January.⁣
.⁣
New Year’s Resolutions have a lazy reputation for good reason. ⁣
.⁣
Resolutions are energized goals, but unless met with livable rhythms, they curl up under the covers of good intentions.⁣

So, this year with the flip of the calendar, let’s consider making New Year’s rhythms instead of lazy resolutions.⁣

Rhythms shape us.⁣
