“It seems to me this is much of what life is – trusting God, but also (and this is harder) learning to trust myself. It’s all leap after leap in the dark. Sometimes God seems to open a door, but just as often there is no door, no foreseeable route. It’s then I feel like God must be telling me there is no designated thing I’m supposed to do, I just need to move forward using the intellect and experience I have, make the best decision I can, and trust that God will be there in the beauty and brokenness that comes out of it. I’m lost and found at the same time.”   (from my forthcoming book, “Benediction”)
