Diaries from Detroit, vol. 7: Moving On, Never Gone


It’s difficult to collect my thoughts here at the end of this experience. Being back in Little Rock, Arkansas, it’s difficult to think that it’s only been about 7 weeks since we were here for training. I am a changed person—changed by love, community, faith, and an overwhelming sense of peace that had fallen over me in Detroit. Stepping out of my City of Love and into the rest of the country and world with all its problems, shortfalls, insecurities, and misunderstandings is like not knowing the ground under me in soil my shoes have trampled many times before.

There are emotions here that are more than I’m willing to share on this blog. But if we meet for lunch or sit down for coffee I’d be more than happy to discuss my time here and converse over all the amazing things that have happened to me, to Detroit, and to the people I know there.

Peace and Love, forever and always.
