A blessing for the one who is staying:
May you find comfort as you say goodbye to friends and teammates as terms finish and you remain.
May you find contentment in the constant, in the everyday gifts as days march forward.
As you keep hunting through the import grocery stores for a taste of the familiar, weaving through traffic and adding new words to your vocabulary, may joy overflow.
In the places that feel dry and cracked open, may Jesus meet you with His grace.
This week, come join the conversation as we offer hope and encouragement for those who are staying. As always, you can add your thoughts and photos on Instagram with the hashtag #VelvetAshesStaying, and meet us at The Grove.
