"Empowering the Next Generation"
/ Autumn McKenzie JacksonSuper excited to be invited back to my alma mater Colgate University for a conference “ Empowering the Next Generation.” I asked if my little girls could be by my side and they did not hesitate to say yes. Was it extra work? Yes! Was it worth it? Yes.
So grateful for so many things. Grateful to be welcomed back to campus. Grateful for the time to be present. Grateful for new relationships started with alumni and students.
The kickoff was a dinner in Colgate’s Hall of Presidents. While I mingled, I gave my girls an assignment to meet 5 people. They stole the room. Super impressed with their ability to embrace new situations and tackle challenges. I teach them and they teach me.
All of my senses get a treat as I take in the magnificence of God that is most evident for me in water, especially oceans
I have had to do all sorts of learning, relearning, and unlearning during my life journey. My goal has been to get to some level of proficiency, ease, and mastery with whatever I am doing.
I am now
I have experienced the peace of God that passes understanding. It is because of that peace that I am walking bolder in my faith.
The last post I wrote was nearly two years ago. I have been grieving, slaying giants, raising champions, and growing in faith.
