It can be difficult to see the positive in our upbringings--but you did a beautiful job finding God's leading through your parents. Thank you for sharing this.
Answers to Reflection Questions:
What do you love the most about your city?
I love the rise in diversity and seeing different people experience the same struggle in different languages and contexts and responding relatively the same even though they don't know it.
What do you dislike about your city?
It stinks of religion--it's not a loud obnoxious smell but a quiet undertone that makes you wrinkle your nose ever so much and keeps you quiet; a stale smell that if anyone raises a question towards it nobody else claims to smell it.
Where do you see God in your city?
I see God in the bodies of my neighbours and the shoppers and friends. In the offer to allow someone to skip a que, or offering up their spare change to the elderly woman who is 6p short for her shop. I see God in quiet catch-up conversations and in people witnessing one another's humanity.
