Extravagant Love

I'm really thankful to have a sister who is passionate about racial reconciliation. I'm grateful for her joy and our shared excitement for what heaven will be like and for a world with reconciled relationships. I'm so lucky to have a relationship with my sister where I can share honestly and vulnerably about the ways God is healing my ethnic identity.

I'm really blessed to have a dad who is learning about racial reconciliation & is leading a men's group on that very topic. He always gets really excited to tell me when someone else wants to join the group, and that he's trying to get a really diverse group so that they can discuss it together. I felt so affirmed in who I am when my dad called today and told me he was writing a sociology paper for his Bible class. My parents are actually incredibly ethnically aware. I'm encouraged to watch them grow and deepen their faith.

I never thought I'd talk so much about race and ethnicity with my family. I have been asking God to show me how he extravagantly loves me and is fighting for my healing...if this isn't a picture of God's extravagant love and care for me, I don't know what is.

Thanks Jesus. Thank you for being so good.
