Matthew 7:7 when I'm trying to wrap my head around who God is and it should be my arms....perfectionist or not I think we all struggle and I also believe God sent Christ to make it easier in these times, more relatable till I realize they are 1 in the same. So I complicate thing. The article this and others are so on point. Keep laying those words to paper. I for one love them. Thanks.

I empathize greatly with this piece. Over time, I tend to find that one of the people that I disagree with the most is myself. Bygone Me has been much too sure about much too little. Bygone Me has vehemently defended the indefensible and rationalized the unthinkable. Present Me has to learn how to have grace for Bygone Me all while learning from his mistakes; Present Me must learn malleability. Few ideas are certain. The rest are open questions. One lesson that I have had to learn is that if someone is sure of something, they haven't thought deeply enough about it (although I'm not sure if I believe this completely yet or not 😄).
