We aren’t into public gushing. 💀
If I want to give this man a compliment the last place he would want me to do it is here. Just have a look at @coylindsey ‘s IG and you’ll see, he doesn’t invest over here as much as he invests one-on-one. So, this isn’t meant for him as much as it is for me to tell a special part of my story. I am a better person because of this person. I am married and we are not the best. 😆 We are all sorts of up and down. But together, that’s something we’ve always been. I like the story we get to write together, the one where we show up as humans constantly growing. Every turn of the page, I grow a little bit more grateful for his personality and support. Last week he was gone caring for his family in Ohio with the passing of his grandfather. And YOU KNOW IT we felt the impact of him being gone. The house was missing our metronome. The nights were missing his natural pull toward bedtime. Our hearts were missing the sound of his voice. He’s home now and things feel more complete. For the man who makes us breakfast and remembers what day it is, I am grateful. For the man who dries his girls hair (he’s done it for all of us), we are grateful. For the man, who runs a 3:30 marathon to show us and our church that there’s really nothing too far out of reach, we are grateful. I’m just freaking grateful. 25 ish years of knowing someone sure does show you what they are made of- and this one is made of so many things that make the world a better place.

GOOD GRIEF: much of the grief I’ve experienced in life wasn’t given room to be, to breathe, to break into the flow of life so it could do it’s painful yet good work. But these days are different than those days and I’m learning that grief can be good when it’s given time and attention. What are you grieving? For us, it’s saying goodbye to another grandparent. But it could be anything for you. Grief is a common emotional response to an externally and consciously recognized loss. What that means is this, grief doesn’t make you weird or different. Grief makes you human. And grief can be felt over anything that feels like a loss to you. So, if you’re feeling it, you have won the prize of the vulnerable and entered the community of the common. It’s a sacred place. You can stay there or come and go. You can take your time or press pause. You can read a memorial prayer. Yell like a wildcat. Diffuse the heck out those oils you bought but forgot about, the essence of plants and roots and flowers. You can lay on the floor with a jar of empty peanut butter in your hand. Dive into an entire series of books. Give dairy a chance again. The point is, whatever you do begs to be done. It will help. I promise. Even a pain avoider (me) recommends the process of grief as something to be entered rather than avoided. And if you’re in it, look through the puffy blurry openings that hold your precious eyes. There are a bunch of us on the floor being a little scattered or sad or something different than what we usually are . . . right here with you. Sending love from the floor. ❤️ B

My entire life I’ve lived with the “7” personality type that leans towards boredom and a tendency to not finish things. Maybe you’re enthusiastic like me? So what?! That doesn’t mean you can’t be a finisher. You can and will finish things. I know this because I’ve dug deep and found ways to stay focused and not loose my heart and spirit in the process. You. Can. Too!
Today was my second try at the 26.2. I had an emotional moment at mile 22. Charlie horses kept coming and going in one muscle near my knee. I’d get it worked out mentally then the arches of of my feet and toes would take a turn. 🙃 Cool! 🤪😳 I worked so hard to beat 4 and realized I wasn’t going to make it. Got so sad. For like one minute(maybe five). Had a bawl fest. Totally breathless and hobbling@this girl was barely making it. Then a couple of runners helped me get going again. Runners are so special like that. They pushed me to be extra kind to myself. We were going to finish. I was able to take breaks the last three miles. Overall, I was having the absolute time of my life. I loved cheering for my speedy—out of this world—husband when I’d see him on the turns. I loved praying for friends and family members at every mile. It was magic and wonder and grace lifting me. So, I’m happy I shaved a little over an hour off my personal record (and also a little disappointed because I know I could have beat four hours minus the cramps). But, guess what? It was the best day ever. And I love the process and finishing feels. ❤️😍Maybe your heart is reaching for something big. Go for it. There will be people on the path to remind you who you are and why you are here.

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up.

Hey there, I’m Brooklyn. 🦢Some might say I’m a church planter, pastor, youth ministry expert, author. But I like to think of myself as someone in love with folks. 🎈 I like people and try to love them too. I mean, I really try to love (even if I do so messily and I’m truly sorry if you’ve ever been on the messier side of me trying). I’m thankful for saints who haven’t given up on me mid try. I want to be like you with all my heart. 🎈
I’ve been married to my high school hero for a little over 21 years and we have two daughters 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧, a big gentle dog, and a tiny ferocious kitten. ➕
This is a video of Christmas with our family. @somoschurch is the community we lead in Lakeland Florida (the place we have lived for about 13 years). It’s such a privilege to get to help people find something feeling like home, a place all of us can grow in grace together. ➕
It’s only 2020 but I’ve picked a part of Scripture to guide me toward 2021. It’s John 20:21 (I did not plan that- but isn’t the 20:21 every day until 2021 an interesting idea?) 😊
➕
After Jesus has risen, it says, “Peace be with you, as the Father has sent me, so I send you.” The question then becomes HOW? How did the Father send Jesus? In human form (oh hi Christmas!). John 1:14 says, And the Word came to us in human form and lived with us. (I’m paraphrasing over here.) To break it down for my own heart this means that God sent Jesus in human form and this is how Jesus sends us. Jesus sends us to be with each other. We can be radically present with people. I want to be here, to see my family, to listen to our community, to hold the babies and the hands of the aging. I want to walk beside and cheer for students and young adults. Conspire with people in the mid life. 2021 is 363 days away but we can be WITH each other today. ➕
This is a video that the talented human named Matty made to capture the WITH-Y-NESS of Christmas. I hope you have a place that feels like home to you. And if you don’t, start looking for folks who just love people. They’ll lead ya to where you need to be. Love to you and yours. Have fun giving this life all you’ve got. 2021 will thank us for every day we chose to love.
