I spent this weekend with Friends for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and Queer Concerns. It was so much fun. I felt like it was truly a leading to go. I was taking part with the adults as felt lead as well as my own age group. It was exciting to get to see all these friends that are part of my up bringing while I am at Friends General Conference.
I learned that sometimes we need to come away from a situation with spirit and look at it a different way. Spirit is not always going to allow us to get through a conflict our normal way. Sometimes conflicts need to be dealt differently.

I think I must have had my head under a rock to have missed this post, Rebecca.
I'm glad you wrote a little bit about Midwinter. ...I never felt clear to write about it; I think I needed a lot of time to digest some of what I myself went through.
For one thing, since I had a bad leg--and still do, weeks later--I felt I couldn't sit in the front or the middle of the room because I needed an extra chair to put my leg on. So that meant I sat in the back nearly the whole time, and I ended up feeling VERY isolated.
For another thing, the programmed worship shifted something very deep in me, and I still can't put my finger on what it was.
So rather than put all that in a post of my own, I decided not to write about Midwinter at all... only here I am, writing about it to you on YOUR post!
It was fun to see you, Grace, and Traci there--very out of context for me, but I loved how many allies were around.
Blessings,
Liz Opp, The Good Raised Up
