There is room for all of us.
Imagine a space with no capacity.
Imagine a space that shifts generously to compensate for growth and every square foot has your name on it. Your name. My name. Our names.
Yes, there is room enough for all of us.
There is room for your dreams.
There is room for your voice.
There is room for your gifts.
There is room for you.
Christ calls us beyond the limits.
Christ crashes through the overhead; the low ceilings that box us in.
Today, Women, Sisters, lift your eyes. Look up. SEE your value.
Today, Men, Brothers, lift the women in your lives up through your words, lift them up. We must do this work of rising-up together, men and women working together in the rising.
TOGETHER, men and women working together to push beyond the limitations placed over our lives; to raise the ceilings that have been set at a lower height. This work is not just for women to empower women, this rising-work is for men to contribute in the activating, in the lifting, and in the empowering ALSO. –We need you. We need you in the voice of value-lifting.
May we be life-givers together, working symbiotically on the waking of dry bones.
On this day as we celebrate International Women’s day, may we remember that to truly be empowered we must also empower. Activators in the waking of value.
Your voice matters…You are valued. Your contribution is especially worthy. Your gifts are especially unique. You are especially loved.
When the doubt of “who do you think you are” sets in, remember, there is room for you to activate your hearts-call… for it has been planted there for a reason and for such a time as NOW.
On this day, a day that honors women, my hearts-call is that we rise up together. Not us and them. Not some. Not others. — My hearts-hope is that we rise up together in a sisterhood and a brotherhood. As a family. As a church. As a bride. As a people that choose to lift our eyes up and over and beyond the limitations of low ceilings placed on our women! Globally, cross culturally and locally.
May we be people that act in the mind-set of victory. The work of Love is limitless and there is never a set capacity, there is always room for more. There is room for your voice.
May we be people that crash through the limits. Audacious in our progression of Love. Bold in our declarations of freedom. Leaving no one behind.
Not just today…but always.
