Our friend Julie (Girl Growing) writes the most amazingly real and poetic blessings (there is one included in our Liturgy book)... She's part of the Wellspring Community in Tomball Texas, whom I had the honour of visiting almost Two years ago, and where her blessings emerge from and are used... the one for The 6th of April seems written specifically for where Safespace is at this moment...
bless you as you travel down the road of 'meaning', stopping along the way, trying things on as you seek to find who you are and who you want to be.bless you as you engage in community,
finding both the safe place to be just as you are
and challenged to be a part of a body-
the hands, the feet,
all with their own prints and never duplicated.bless you as you connect with something bigger than yourself.
bless you as you delve into God's agenda for the world.
bless you as you lose your life so that you may find it.
bless you as you search,
and above all,
bless you as you continue to hope.
