Last week, we talked about our attempt and desire to respond in love during a time such as this where feelings and emotions are all over the place in response to the longstanding issue of systematic racism being brought more apparently to the light. After we acknowledged that there are many emotions we feel and that flesh can get in the way, we were able to take a step back and recognize that we need God's help and that we have to continually run back to God again and again and again for direction. Our conclusion was that we FIRST, start with God. Then, we take time to educate ourselves to receive understanding. Then, we can respond in action through love. Since we have acknowledged that action is required, I want to share how God has helped me in understanding that as we are uniquely created, we all have a different part to play. Understanding how God has created us individually for such a time as this to be a solution to a problem, gives a better understanding of how we can "be the change". As we continue to be and do what God has called and created us to be and do, we will see how he uses each person with their unique differences to make a change as a whole. Below, I have attached the resources mentioned in this episode. Stay encouraged! God is still at work...for you, for me, for US. Love you all -Kea
