A blessing for your weekend: May there be a respite, a pause, a space between two important things. A place to say, “I am not the Christ and I need him.” May you learn something new and also, perhaps, very old that you didn’t know before today. May you rest your eyes today or rest your hands or your mind, whichever needs it most. May you know you have done what you could and can’t do what you can’t. May you praise God for watermelon and toast with peanut butter, but also for chicken on the grill and s’mores in the evening. May you remember to drink water (go and get some now). May you not feel the days slipping like sand between your fingers, but feel them like bundles of wildflowers held in your arms, sweet, colorful, and blooming, but also sometimes a little scratchy too. May you have time for a bath or a swim or a long shower or a kiddie pool with your littles. May you read a good book.

I used to think I had to "get good to get God," that I had to earn it and keep earning it. I was a slave to the hustle of faith. So I'd keep my prayers light. Safe. Proper. I'd hide the parts of me that weren't shiny and successful, holy and good. I'd hide my questions and shackles and shame. Then I came to know the truth- you can't hide anything from God AND there's no need to hide. God sees it all AND welcomes us just the same. All can be opened to the Light and made new. So dear ones, come as you are. Bring it all and bare it all. Come with God to the wide, clean wilderness of prayer. The Eternal One, Our Maker, knows We are seen and we are searched No need to harden your defenses No need to hide It changes nothing All that is found is loved The blessings and the brokenness The wins and the worry The success and the sin All is found and all is loved So rest Rest in this promise and blessing Rest in God in the wilderness Release it all Surrender to your Beloved As clay to the Potter As song to the Singer As seed to the good, dark earth buried, but made ready to burst forth with New Life Breath Prayer: Here I am... Psalm 139:1-3 O Lord, you have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. #lent #selfreflection #honestwithyourself #nomorehiding #godsgrace #godsgraceandmercy #youbeyou #graceupongrace #godsgraceissufficient #restingod #soulcare #selfcare #spiritualcare #spiritualpractice #mindfulnesspractice #restingingod #encounteringgod #blessingofgod #godsblessing #stoplooklisten #fullypresent #godisnear #christianspirituality #christianprayer #scriptureprayer #newbirth #newlife #righteousness #spiritualmaturity (at Sarasota, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9T6N5DFWAT/?igshid=189n7o3uhu8tm
Br Agedo graduates CPE & completes degree In graduating from his Clinical Pastoral Education course Agedo has now completed all the requirements for his Bachelor of Divinity degree. The graduation ceremony was held at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne where Agedo completed a 3 month Spiritual Care Internship on 31 January this year. Matthew Tonini and David Hofman also attended the graduation ceremony. Agedo says that the CPE was ‘very challenging; I learnt a lot about myself; how to work in a group and how to care for people of different religions and no religion.’ #carmelite #vocation #faith #spirituality #graduation #bachelorofdivinity #community #prayer #mission #religious #jesus #christ #catholic #christianity #support #spiritualcare #brotherhood #priesthood #carmelites #carmelitespirituality https://www.instagram.com/p/BthFcZmH16z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nc5w9fqmqa9r

Repost from @thenapministry • So, in 1918 white folks got together to create an ordinance for Black Women to work or they would be jailed or heavily fined. They already had an ordinance in place for Black Men. Why leisure and radical rest for Black people is a racial justice issue. Why we must rest without shame or guilt. Why we resist. Why we rest. A reckoning for this American history must happen. This Archival find from (BaelockHolmes on Twitter)1918, Greenville, South Carolina. It documents the call for an ordinance to force black women to take jobs. #napministry #thenapministry #restasresistance #restisresistance #sleep #rest #spiritualcare #healing #naps #napping #soulcare #selfcare #chicago #atlanta #performanceart #naptime #community #archive #spiritualdirection #reparations #joy #socialjustice #racialjustice #justice #communitycare #womanism #restisreparations #blacklivesmatter https://www.instagram.com/p/CGI2EKZBsgs/?igshid=14iszg054zjwr
Today I'm remembering who I am, and who I am not, as a follower of Jesus. This true me cannot be co-opted by hate-driven, foolish white supremacists who wave confederate flags while also waving signs saying, "Jesus saves." This true me "resists evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves" and will keep on praying, learning, repenting, and acting for the common good of all, especially persons who face prejudice, violence, and discrimination every day. #dothework Who I am is beyond the crush and crash of insurrection. It's anchored to the name God gives me, "This is my child, the beloved." Every year, on the second Sunday in January, Christians all over the world read the story of Jesus' baptism, that moment when he heard these words of belovedness. We hear the story again and we remember they are for us and they are for all. All means all. In the remembering, we re-member and invite others to the same grace. Yes, Jesus saves. Salvation means wholeness, not superiority. Re-member. And so, dear ones, be still. Touch the water. Be dead to sin. Alive to God. Remember who you are and who you are not. #rememberyourbaptism #baptism #baptismofthelord #identity #trueself #soulcare #selfcare #spiritualcare #stoplooklisten #imageofGod #rememberwhoyouare #remember #encounteringgod #spiritualpractice #meansofgrace #fullypresent #listeningtogod #godisnear #christianspirituality https://www.instagram.com/p/CJyT_DzFZg1/?igshid=15vq8p2wcvqai
