Over the past several months, I've been sort of wrestling with God. Not violently or combatively, just kind of a struggle.
It seems like God is really trying to bring me along. Sometimes it is understanding a concept and sometimes it is just moving deeper into something he has already been working on me about. Frankly though, I haven't been able to put all the pieces together. It's like a puzzle. I've fit together a nugget of wisdom here or a personal breakthrough there or a conviction at another turn. I have possession of several small pictures with jagged edges which have been helpful and praiseworthy, but I think there's more.
I don't think that all these lessons or pictures are independent of each other. I haven't connected them, but there is a sense that they all fit together.
Anyway, during this time, I've started writing or pondered writing about several topics for this blog, but every time I sit down to write, something interferes. So I have multiple unfinished thoughts written or just rattling around in my brain and while I usually like to wait and post after I have already processed through an idea, I'm struck that this time, maybe I should post in order to process through them. My hope is that if I write them out, the pieces will start to fit together.
The most recent picture is on parenting. This one is earth shattering... Ready? And here it is:
Parenthood is important.
