One of the tasks we had this week was to write ourselves into the story of God. Here’s my attempt. I think that God that God speaks with tenderness over our lives and celebrates the good in our lives and is grieved by our pain. I hope that people would sense and be aware of the connection between their sacred story and God’s Sacred Story. What do you think comes to mind when God thinks about you? Psalm 139 is a profound reflection on the ways in which God intimately knows and loves us.
The date was April 16 1986 and I still remember it as clear as if it was yesterday. Curtis Ross Love was welcomed to my embattled yet precious world through the arms of his mother, Lorraineand his father Bazil. I was filled with great joy for I saw within Curtis, as I do 
with all my children The Potential. The potential to love and heal, bring peace and joy, hope and light, life and friendship. I am filled with great pride as I see Curtis try and be apart of my hopes for my sacred creation.
I have celebrated more moments in Curtis’ life than he will ever know; every joy and good thing that has happened to him is etched into my mind for all eternity and every kind and loving act will never be forgotten, no matter how small and insignificant he might think they are. I know that Curtis has often felt like he was drowning in the dark waters of despair and many times I shed tears as I saw him being overwhelmed by hurt. I find consolation now that Curtis has begun to unravel one of the great mysteries of the universe. When you suffer your heart is softened to others suffering. I think that Curtis might have a small glimpse of the suffering I feel. I am often filled with grief as I see what has become of my world that I breathed my very life into. I can sense now that Curtis is seeing into my heart more clearly and though we have only been together for 23 years I really have enjoyed his company. I look forward to spending more time with him and enjoying him as he navigates his way through life. I know that he will be one of my children who seeks to work together with others to bring about my hopes for this world. Precious child know that you are loved and that I see you as you stumble and fall and try to love and be loved, you are my beloved.
