It is such a comfort to think about God. Life doesn't always go the way i think it should, but it's nice to remember that there is something much larger, a force more powerful, a never ending supply of warmth, love, forgiveness, and beauty. Someone else who is ultimately responsible for the way the world works. Someone else who created us to be the imperfect beings that we are. And God probably has a purpose in that, although it beats me exactly what that is sometimes. It is a comfort to think maybe, even though we enjoy free will, that God has put down a path to follow (although I must say that it feels pretty dimly lit and is full of surprises). So often, like right now, I feel like I'm stumbling along that path like a drunk, weaving back and forth into the brush and thorns on either side, but I think I'm still moving in the right direction and think I'm mostly following the right path. I hope so, anyhow. Even in the dark parts, I don't think I'd have life any other way.
Julian of Norwich is responsible for one of my favorite quotes. I'll leave it with you as I keep singing it to myself...
God once said to Julian, "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well!"
Goodnight!
