I can feel the shifting in my heart…. There are so many voices and books out there telling me what to do… but I’m learning God’s ways are not my ways of trying to figure things out…. Love is not neat and tidy..it is a beautiful mess…thank you for being the love of Jesus in this crazy world….. Kathy,

How countless many long for that?! I am also very much " a willing participant in this glorious mess." There is, no doubt, no where else I would rather be. :) xoxo We are so living the dream, and as hard and messy and uphill that it may sometimes be, the *theory* of the gospel actually meets reality in refuge life. How countless many long for that?! I am also very much ” a willing participant in this glorious mess.” There is, no doubt, no where else I would rather be. :) xoxo

I needed a reminder that what I'm doing is worth it. So, I can't tell you what it was like to wonder if you had a new post up and breathe a sigh of relief when I saw that you did. Thanks for your words, thanks for being on this journey, both beautiful and hazardous.

But Jesus is in the darkness with us, in our fear, and in our pain as we seek redemption and reconciliation with each other... Thomas Merton says it well "But love, by its acceptance of the pain of reunion, begins to heal all wounds."
