After a great day of working on the service project and the kids club we had an amazing speaker and an awesome worship. Jerome High Horse was are amazing speaker. He was talking about his life and all the difficult times he has been through. He works so hard to not just provide for his family but for others in his community. One of Jeromes main points was that everyone with the same complexion was family. He talked about how in this community they care for everyone as family. He told us a story about when he lived in California he had a friend talking about people with the same complexion in not the best way. He told him that he was his family and if he was going to talk about him that he was also talking about him self also. The friend was very confused but he understood where he was coming from.
He took a part of are lives and showed us that we need to care about more than just ourselves and more about our community. He put his vision in are eyes on how he wants the world to be and we took all that in. He went through a rough time in the past few days. He had to go to a funeral in which this amazing women committed Suicide. They didn’t know exactly why she did what she did but her family decided to call Jerome and wanted him to speak at the funeral. He went and told us all about it but the biggest thing that stuck with me was that he was going to morn her death like she was a loved one. Since as he said before the same complexion he considers them as family.
Another big part of my day was worship. We sang amazing songs and really hit us hard. We all went to the place in are hearts that meant the most to us and sang as loud and as proud as much as we could. I love how the songs we sing are so familiar that they mean to much to us. We love worshiping God and to know that he is with us. We also did a prayer after singing the music that let us express the feelings we have been bottling up inside of us and made us feel way better. We carry so much silently and it burdens us and holds us down. We appreciate Gods presence and the love he has for us. God’s love frees us from this burden so we can love others
