Bravely RISE

So recently I got the opportunity to work with RISE, the sister branch of Pass the Rock (www.passtherockteam.com). If you're wondering what exactly RISE is, it's "a space where girls and women would come to shed the lies that have been spoken over them and pick up instead their true identity in Christ Jesus." Besides covering part of the final meeting, I got to be a fly on the wall for the whole thing. It was beautiful thing to be able to watch these strong, beautiful, amazing, women come together and lean on each other without being fake or casting judgement. They were able to be 100 percent who they are -battle scars, wounds, and all- with each other comfortably. That to me alone was amazing to me. It isn't too often you see someone genuinely be themselves without fear like I saw with these women. It was heartwarming to watch Maxine Roca (Momma/Ms. Roca to me :P) create such a comfortable and warm space for them. It even gave me a bit of high school nostalgia but hey, she's always been amazing soul! I could feel the love between them as well as the love they rained on me.
