The Purpose of Flight
There's nothing better than finding that one word, that perfect word that was meant to describe what you're feeling or thinking. Sometimes you need that one word to make sense of a whole journey; a series of flights...sometimes you don't. This blog is for those times that I do.

Giving Up Too Quickly
"God Knows." These two words seemed to be freakishly programmed to placate any misgivings or worrisome events that presented themselves to me today. Don't get me wrong. God does know, but I realized how easily I stop there. What if those hard times when cultural norms pull out the proverbial rug from underneath you, or the even harder instances when you watch loved ones go through hard times that tears at your heart, what if those times were suppose to be a jumping point for an actual conversation? "God knows...please show me." "God knows...but I still don't understand." "God knows...please take away the pain." God does know, and there are those times to realize the mystery and power of a Creator who knows all and you don't, but there are also those times when not knowing is His way of opening up that continual conversation a bit more. Maybe it will end with a not-knowing scenario. Maybe by the end of the conversation you will know what God knows. Maybe sometimes it will simply end in knowing Him better. Kinda makes you want to not give up so quickly doesn't it?
