Bless this Wait
Learning to be patient in the midst of a crisis
As life spins out of control
we lose sight of you, O Lord.
As everything falls downhill
It's hard to look towards the reward
I don't know what you see in me
or why You care if I succeed
you are good, O Lord
so very good
Bless this wait
As the world tries to relate
To find the joy we have
In the middle of a crisis
As we try to be brave
I swore to God he had a weird sense of humor
Taking away my security in this life I knew
everything vanished in a day, stuck in my home
because of this plague, what's there left to do
Bless this wait and teach me to be content
Lord give me patience through this wait
Teach me to see how I can relate
Bless this wait

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
