4. The voices of young women. Did you hear about those six teenage girls who planned a multi-thousand person protest in their city?
5. Rest
Do Justice. Love Mercy. Walk Humbly–in Beauty!
“In times of uncertainty, the most difficult thing to do is to stop searching for detours.

Instead, consider this an invitation to deepen your trust, to renew your committed heart to its course. After all, every creation was first seeded in an absence.” —Toko-pa Turner
