thank you for your honesty in wrestling with God. We think we shouldn't wrestle, argue, doubt, or be angry with God. But I think that is exactly the way of faith formation. Whether we "go to the mat" for personal issues or community issues, our wrestling makes us stronger, more alert, and more capable of being there for others.
There is much in this world to be angry about. But things don't get resolved thru anger. We need to take the anger to God, wrestle about it, and in our exhaustion, listen. Listen to our own breathing, listen to what God is breathing into us.
Somehow, in that way, God gives us the courage, the strength and wisdom to do what she wants us to do.
Through the shards of glass we see eachother. Thanks for sharing the journey and listening for what God is doing in and through you.
