On My Mind

 Peace in acceptance
Acceptance is not a sign of weakness, but is a place where peace can dwell.  God sometimes uses our pain and struggles to show us just how much we need to depend on Him.  It can also provide a bridged gap in which we can reach others.  This doesn't mean that once we accept, we have everything figured out or live perfect lives, it just means that through the tears, pain, doubt there is a purpose and a greater cause that we couldn't possible imagine.

"So, I am praying while feeling restless, at peace while tempted, safe while anxious, surrounded by a cloud of light while still in darkness, in love while still doubting."                              ~Nenri Nouwen
