“We often don’t have the patience to wait. We want some control over the outcome. We want to know the outcome. We believe deeply that if we could just know the outcome we will make it through.

“God loves to meet us in that messy middle of the tunnel. And at the end of the tunnel, as well as the beginning of the tunnel. I’ve learned that it is in that messy middle that God becomes particularly “loud” in our lives. God never tells me to get over my emotions and just get past them. God meets me there in my emotional mess. Sometimes I’m so emotional I believe God has abandoned me. Until I get through that tunnel and I realize how present God always was.”
