Us + Me (Family)

It is inescapable. We all came from somewhere. Even if you don't know the people that brought you into this world, looking in the mirror is a reminder that they existed and that there is no way you exist without them. This is often a hard thing for us to make sense of. Family can be a place of incredible safety and assurance, or the place of our deepest wounding. We inherit, are imprinted by, incorporate their way of being, and inflame our world as a result of their impact and our response to it. Fortunately, Jesus has adopted us into his family and sends us out to be family for those who are orphans, and sometimes even back into our family to be a place of healing and restoration.
