sharing her awesome life and her desire to have community while doing it!
Through the lens of a
few that I tribe with:
"To me, Tribe Life is
living out the description of true, authentic love. It's the kind of life
that proves that if you can't dive down deep enough to get tangled up in
another person's messy, raw, and intimate issues — then your pool is just too
shallow. Tribe Life is accepting one another, for the good and the bad. It's
the confidence to know that you will always have someone standing right beside
you on the highest mountaintops of life and they will still be there, deep down
in the darkness of valleys. It's the assurance of acceptance, no matter how
ugly or unpolished. It's a covenant between you and your tribe, to walk
through this life — together, no matter what comes your way. We were made
for healthy community. We were made for genuine love. We were made for true,
authentic Tribe Life." ~Amy
"Tribe life is the life
that you do and live with those God strategically placed in your path, and you
in theirs. My tribe is whoever I can be myself with. The people who accept
every part of me, the good, and sometimes, unfortunately, the bad and the ugly.
My tribe is who makes my spirit and soul come alive. My tribe is my breath of
fresh air. Tribe Life means having a community, a guardrail of accountability,
and just an overall sense of belonging. I believe you can be born in a tribe
and/or find your tribe, and I also believe we belong to people and tribes
across the nation who we've never even met before. We all have a tribe, and we
all have people, we just have to trust God that we will cross paths with them
when the time is right and purposeful. And when we do, we are to do what we can
to protect those relationships." ~Rochelle
"#tribelife always
makes me think of a tent; it’s a tent or covering of friendship. But it's not a
place for acquaintances, it's a place for friends that can go deep, share tough
things and know they are still welcomed into that covering of relationship. A
covering that isn't earned, you're welcomed just by being authentic and
trustworthy. It's in that tribe that a person knows they don't go through life
alone, because their tribe is in it for the long haul." ~Leslie
"Tribe Life is the idea
that life is better when it’s done together. Community enhances every facet of
the human experience, from the sharing in each other’s joys to leaning on one
another during the lows. Tribe Life champions honesty, accountability,
transparency, and authenticity. But, more than that, Tribe Life is an
invitation. Tribe Life welcomes you in and says 'There’s room for you here'." ~Sarah
"Tribe life is a
connection of people purposely joined together. The bond between the tribe is
effortlessly made. Whether it is born into like family, or a friend who you
knew would be in your life forever after a few times of meeting, tribe is a
connection that cannot be shaken. You feel what the other feels, sometimes
without words even being exchanged. Your tribe life is transparent and strong
even in times of weakness... it is honest and bold, continuously making you a
better you." ~Ashley
