I've been having lots of conversations with myself lately.  I think one of my biggest problems in life IS myself.  Funny the things we learn as we get older.  I want to make sense of things, I want to know what and why, I want to have a measure of control, I want to choose. . . . and much of the time we just don't get to.  I KNOW that. . . and yet I continue to struggle.  Oh, the patience of God!

I quote this to myself often. . .(Hebrews 11:1). . . "Now FAITH is the assurance of things HOPED for, the conviction of things NOT seen."  If we could see, know, and totally understand it all. . . if WE had control. . . it wouldn't be faith . . . and, it would surely be a MESS!
