"You meet God in people."
You're the one others lean on. Warm, present, faithful — you notice who's missing, you stay when it's hard, and you hold a circle of people together without ever needing the credit.
"Feed my sheep."
John 21:16
Portrait
You count heads. In any room, at any table, some quiet instrument in you registers who's missing, who went silent this month, who said "I'm fine" in the wrong tone. People are never a crowd to you. They're names — and you keep the list without trying.
You're the one who stays. When it gets awkward, when it gets long, when the meal train ends and everyone else moves on — you're still there, remembering the follow-up question from three weeks ago. You hold circles of people together with texts and meals and memory, and you'd be embarrassed to hear anyone call it ministry. It is exactly that.
You're the one who…
- notices who's missing before anyone else does
- remembers the follow-up question three weeks later
- is the quiet reason the group still exists
