Among

To be with, surrounded by, in association with-together.

Like the playground ball with it's tether,
to be beside, locked in with.
To lock eyes with, eyes.
Coexisting with intention.

Always seasoned with salt and spoken full of grace,
let our conversation be

AMONG.

In association with, included and inclusive.
A walking church. Making space.
Vulnerability surrounds and relationship happens...
As it would, 'cause God moved into the neighborhood.

AMONG.

There is such beauty in the tapestry,
No matter how slowly woven.
Each strand playing a perfect part naturally.

We are broken, and we are busted, but His beloved--
Loved beyond compare.
Be aware,
The closer we are knit, the stronger we become.

Your kingdom come.

AMONG.



Blessings,
Angela Scalise
















At-Home Study: adapted from 'Advent: Born is The King' plan from She Reads Truth

Pray: ask God to reveal Himself to you through the scriptures, to help you receive the message He has specifically for you today.

Read: each passage twice in 2-3 different translations.


{Day 1} Job 1:1-22


{Day 3} 2 Samuel 7:1-17

{Day 4} Esther 5:1-8

{Day 5} Jonah 1:1-7

Observe: What is happening? What catches your attention? What is the message of this passage?What thoughts or feelings does it provoke?

Reflect: Why do these things catch your attention? Why do you feel or think certain things from reading it?



Apply: What does this say about God? What does it say about people? What does it say about God's plan for us? What does this mean for you? How can you apply what God is saying to you?
