shelter blankets

clean freak that i am

















i'd rather sit around in a small circle of brothers and sisters than be alone in a crowded room full of strangers. while dwindling numbers may be on their minds and dwindling numbers begins to equate to poor fellowship, i don't think i would have found this place to be a home had this not been the case. i came in broken and hurt and had it been a larger group, i could have blended in as just another face. but here, my presence as a full person was impossible to dismiss. that is what i like about us. we welcome in the stragglers, the ones that know they want community, but simultaneously are acutely aware of the dangers that come with vulnerability.
