So, this past week I was sick...all week...Monday-Thursday. Basically, I slept most of the day, was up for a couple of hours at night, got up in the morning & did the same thing the next day. I hated it. I felt like I was letting everyone down...even though I couldn't do anything about it. Ugh!
...and in the midst of all that God was re-defining all the things I had thought about leadership. When I was on staff this past year, God was teaching that I am capable, that I am a leader. And now, He's put all of it in a blender to separate all the stuff that I had built so that He could rebuild it. *sigh* After breaking me down, though, He's started to re-build it. In John 21, Jesus re-instates Peter after he denies even knowing Jesus 3 times..and the kicker is that Jesus knew Peter was going to do it, and decides to use him & reinstate him anyway. And I think that's what God has been doing in me. On Saturday morning, He reminded of what I care about (People) and why & how I want to care for them.
I still don't have it all figured out, but I know that after hitting bottom last week, God's starting to build the foundation back up so that I'm starting to rise...but I'm rising re-built.

Welcome to our blog!
We are Morgan and Alicia Martin, cousins starting at similar crossroads, and off on similar yet geographically-unique adventures! Morgan, 22, is living as a nomad, off to St. Louis Los Angeles
After a childhood and adolescence of closeness, we have drifted apart, rarely seeing each other more than once a year. And so, distant though we will be physically, we’ve decided to use this marvelous “series of tubes” to stay in contact. We will commiserate in our trials, celebrate our triumphs, and have something to point to every time a family member says we never tell them what we’re doing.
