"It's almost indigestible: death, divorce, old age, drugs; brain-damaged children, violence, senility, unfaithfulness. Good luck with figuring it out. It unfolds, and you experience it, and it is so horrible and endless that you could almost give up a dozen times. But grace can be the experience of a second wind, when even though what you want is clarity and resolution, what you get is stamina and poignancy and the strength to hang on." ~Anne Lamott, "Help Thanks Wow"
Jen Hatmaker had this as her FB status today. I NEED to remember and be reminded of this... even in the little everyday life moments.....
My favorite part, "..........even though what you want is clarity and resolution, what you get is stamina and poignancy and strength to hang on."
Who can even argue that God does not have every little detail taken care of?
