As we prepare for the NavPress/Emerging Women’s Leadership Breakfast on Friday, we are hopeful that our time together will be as impacting and meaningful as our first breakfast in San Diego on March 24, 2009.
Jen remembers this moment:
The highlight for me was at the very end when we passed out small rocks. Each rock had a word on it which we hoped would be a word or a blessing to help each person move forward on their journey. I just loved handing out the rocks. It felt like communion, holy and sacred. One man told me as he was leaving that when I spoke at the breakfast, for some reason he felt like crying and he didn’t know why. He said it felt like a call to his spirit somehow & that though he didn’t understand it, he wanted me to know. I handed him a rock, saying I didn’t know what word was on it, but I hoped it would be a blessing to him. He looked at his rock and filled up; he said, “This is perfect for me because I’m leading my church in a process of opening up the doors to women being elders and it’s been such a hard road. This tells me I need to keep going.”His rock said “Try.”
