I decided to take a leap: a BIG leap. As I am maneuvering through the waters of this new adventure, I started asking myself why. Why am I putting myself out there like this? Why am I living my comfort zone? Why am I taking awkward videos of myself for all the world to see?
Why? Because I want to create community.
Life is a journey: a messy road where faith and life intersect. I want to create space for that mess. I want you to leave your dirty laundry on the floor and possibly step on some Legos.
"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." 1 Thessalonians 5:11
My desire is to build a community where people can come together and be real, vulnerable, and raw without be judged or condemned. I want people to feel safe when they have questions about their faith because let's face it, this whole God thing can be hard and if you claim it's all sunshine and rainbows, you are a big fat liar.
Here's what I am learning. We need each other. If any time, now more than ever. We all sit behind our computers, phones, and tablets more connected than ever yet more lonely and hurting more deeply than anytime in history. This is not okay with me.
I want to be a safe place to land and I believe you do, too. My heart is to create a community where we can fall and others will be right there to pick us up. A community in which we talk to each other about the hard stuff without getting offended or judgy. Life, to me, can mimic a preschoolers drawing where they scribble all over the paper. You can't see where one crayon mark begins and another ends. Faith, well faith can be like trying to sift through manure sometimes. We need each other. We desperately need each other.
So, why did I jump off the cliff? For you. For me. For community.
We wear so many hats: single, wife, mom, friend, sister, career women, Christian, non-believer, etc, etc. We need a place where we can lay those hats down because they got too heavy and overbearing. We need space to hear, "me too" or "that is totally normal." Community is a safe house where you can laugh until you pee and cry until the tears are all gone all in the same breath. This. This is the space I desire.
I pray you will join with me to create community with those around you where you can be exactly who you are and they can be exactly who they are no questions asked, no eyes rolled, no whispers behind backs. My goal is that you will join me in creating a safe house for people where we can question and doubt knowing there is hope on the other side.
That's my why. My heart beats to create a place where women feel fully valued and deeply loved no matter how many suitcases they bring packed full of junk. There's no overage fee here. Only love.
Love & Blessings,
Meg
