I am grateful for how God connects moments that seem unrelated to bring deeper clarity.
Two conversations today—one before a board meeting, the other after a concert—seemed unrelated. But spiritually, they were aligned.
The first reminded me that leadership is not about the quick applause—it’s about staying power when things get hard. The second—an old friend sharing her financial struggles despite being highly educated—reminded me of the realities many face.
There’s so much I can’t control. But I know what I can do: count it all joy, show up, and keep praying.
Let’s keep praying—
For our city.
For our people.
For our leaders.
For those silently suffering whose names we may never know.
