Beauty & Bitterness

Every season has beauty and bitterness. Moments of joy when we feel like we're who and where we're supposed to be. And moments when we're caught up in disappointment, longing, and struggle.

It takes a phenomenal amount of grace to ask the question, "Where is God?" in whatever situation or circumstance you're in. It's hard to embrace our identity as children of God sometimes. When we face the unexpected it's so easy to feel like an orphan, forgotten and abandoned, rather than a child deeply loved and cared for.

May we "walk with grace our feet and faith our eyes"* as we navigate beauty and bitterness with the hope that we are loved.

*From Derek Webb's "Faith My Eyes"
