I greatly enjoyed my conversation with Regina this month! I first heard Regina share her story at a Story Tellers Live gathering and loved getting to hear more in our conversation together. Regina shares about the importance of having a good tribe. That we are better together. She said, “Not just being in proximity but building intimacy and relationship over time. That is what being in community and living life together really, really looks like.” Regina shared how community really helped her during some hard times like navigating the criminal justice system for years and pleading her brother and best friends innocence. Regina said that good and hard can co-exist and God doesn’t waste a thing. She shares a time when her daughter and all girls of color at their school got a threatening text message filled with hate during lunch. Regina decided to follow the Holy Spirit’s guidance instead of her flesh. The way her response impacted the community and brought unity and change still has positive effects to this day. We talk about how our responses teach our kids and how she really wants to reflect God well in all she does. Like Romans 8:28 talks about, He will use all things to work together for our good and His glory. Regina’s life is evidence of this.
