We had an empty Pringles can this weekend. Ellie covered the top with a plastic baggie, used an entire roll of tape to secure it, and made a slit in the baggie. She then used this as a “water bottle” for three hours.
Space to create.
A seminary intern at our church preached for the first time on Sunday morning. He did fabulous. The congregation sat lovingly, so excited to support him through this milestone.
Space to try new things.
Ellie and Josiah created the great lego vehicle race this weekend. Complete with a March Madness like bracket. We made our predictions. I went for Captain America. Three hours later, the race is not yet completed. I’ll have to let you know later who the real winner will be.
Space to dream.
In these moments, I felt very thankful for this space and for you.
I may never become a published author, but you still give me space to try. In that space, here, we can make a difference together through sharing, encouraging, and learning. For me, that is more than enough in reaching my dream.
Last week, when I needed voices for an article I was writing, you responded with such beautiful ideas on facebook. The love your voice series has encouraged and strengthened my resolve. If you want to share your voice. Please email me. aboutproximity@gmail.com. You all have such special things to contribute about how you place yourself in the proximity of renewal, that I know.
I am very grateful for you.
Let’s continue to support and encourage one another to dream, create, and try new things. Who champions you to do these things?
