This past week, I was sharing with a friend that I have an overwhelming peace knowing exactly Who is in control. I often snicker at the way our daughter free falls off the couch knowing she will be caught. 

            Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

            There is a lot rocking our hearts, our homes, and our world right now. Watching our toddler fall back off the couch was a perfect reminder that we do not have to do a trust fall with God because he is already holding us.

The Church at RB is beginning a dialogue to listen and learn from black members in our congregation. We want to use this time to lead with our ears and not our mouths as the whole country is leaning in to understand an injustice that began long ago and is real today.
