I shared some of this with a group of teens and it was amazing - to me - how quickly they can resonate with emotions. They've had much less time to learn to deny their feelings and fears. Keep rocking! Awesome TUCKER! I shared some of this with a group of teens and it was amazing – to me – how quickly they can resonate with emotions.

I feel like only now that it's possible after years of just trying to find community in the dessert. But having a more secure identity in Christ since the retreat gives great clarity. One of the things that continues to shock me is how muddied my vision was in the midst of insecurity. Security brings clearer vision and through that, peace in silence and solitude. Not that I still don't have to remind myself to be ok with stillness. Read Psalm 46 a few days ago and verse 10 (be still and know) comes at the end of a psalm that preaches security. On another front- I'm teaching students through their core fears and it's amazing to see lights comin on. Learning about my identity was amazing but teaching it to others is doubly fulfilling.
