Day 21 – 3/9

“The Akan principle of Sankofa holds that it’s not wrong to go back to get what you need to move forward.

Do we welcome the Savior’s authority, even if it upends everything around us? Again and again, we are shown the way. May we fearlessly and with gratitude receive what we’ve already been given.”
— Rev. T. Denise Anderson
