Mother-daughter conversation on faith and belonging: Morgan asks Misty if there's a seat for her at their Puerto Rico women's retreat.
"Do you think it will be okay if I... like..."
Morgan asked me that halfway through our conversation. And I didn't see it coming.
Last week we told you about Rooted & Reaching... seven women, five days, a house on the beach in Puerto Rico this January. This week we talk about WHY.
Why Puerto Rico (it's where Morgan and I found our way back to each other).
Why the table.
Why seven women instead of a conference room full.
Morgan is coming to cook and to teach yoga in the mornings. And then she asked the honest question... would there really be room for her at that table?
Would it be "Jesus light"... or "Jesus heavy"?
Would she get to be a participant, or just an observer?
We didn't rush past it. We stayed right there with it, a little tender and very honest, until we both found our way to something true.
We also talk about the strengths work on day one, long hours by the pool, a little rappelling 😉, Morgan turning 40, and why everybody in Puerto Rico claps when the plane lands. 🌊
And we talk about why this matters so much to us.
You can journal on your own, and that's good.
But something different happens when you're sitting across from someone who's curious about you... asking the questions you haven't thought to ask yourself yet.
