Leave Room
When it comes to how we perceive the “flavor” of our seasons of life, do we leave room for God to interpret what we’re tasting? Or do we refuse to entertain any reality other than the one we can see?
You know those moments where you’re sitting with a close friend, and before you know it, you’ve totally spilled your guts about whatever crazy/scary/amazing/terrible thing is going on in your life?

They told us we could have both. They lied.
