Fix it, God: The weight of motherhood in a broken world
Confronted with school shootings and stale prayers, new mother Meagan Kelly pleads: Fix it, God.
Meg Kelly earned an M.Div. from Union Presbyterian Seminary. She currently holds a pastoral residency with Ukirk Greensboro and joint youth ministry with Parkway Presbyterian and St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Confronted with school shootings and stale prayers, new mother Meagan Kelly pleads: Fix it, God.
“Each week we will bring our hard to you and we will ask you to bring your hard to us and we will do what we were all meant to do down here: help each other carry the hard so we can all live a little bit lighter and braver, more free and less alone.”
It is no wonder that so many of us feel full in the wild. God as Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer is so evidently seen in nature. It is almost as if the wilderness is a not-so-subtle reminder of the character of God.
