refocusing

so the TAP house has been having some problems lately. actually, there have been problems since the beginning, but many of us tried very hard to make it work and to still build community.

there's been tension and stress, and just overall bad vibes in the house for the past month.  we've tried mediated conversations between all of four of the TAP interns, but it quickly became apparent that those weren't working either.  grace was given, but not received in return.

unfortunately, Maryls has decided to leave the Abraham project. I know I speak for the rest of house when I say we hope for the best for her, and I hope she finds what she is looking for.  she deserves it.

a big sigh of relief has gone through the house. tension and stress has been lifted, and divisions are falling apart.  it finally feels like home.

prayers and sayings have gone up on the fridge, praying together is happening more often, pancake breakfasts are happenings.  happiness is finally spreading, and I can see how much we are going to learn from each other this year. instead of falling apart because one person left, we're getting closer. it's honestly been awesome to watch, and so reassuring.

we're refocusing.
