Processing comes through pain. Understanding seems to come from places of confusion and weakness. What a crazy paradox. Knowledge, wisdom, and understanding come from confusion, disorder, and chaos within my head.
Crazy.
Thank you for understanding. Thank you for putting up with my complaining when all you're trying to do is help me understand things more. Thank you for being bigger than I think You are. Thank you for the gospel and laying our sins upon Your Son so that we may live. Thank you for showing me sin. Thank you for faithfully working within me.

2through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.

4and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
