"It's as if God is allowing us a rest while he does the heavy lifting. We don't have to navigate or figure; we don't have to calculate. He expects that we'll trust his heart and his intentions and lie down as clay on the potter's wheel. It seem as as if this posture of trust and submission is the only way we can rest, really rest, with inconsolable things roiling in our hearts."
~Christine Hoover, "Searching for Spring: How God Makes All Things Beautiful in Time"
My mom sent this picture to me: my lovely mama's hand holding her mama's hand. My grandmother is in "comfort care", waiting for Jesus to take her home. Being on this side of the world is hard when I really want to be in Arkansas to help my family, but we're choosing a posture of trust and submission even in the midst of "inconsolable things".
