excerpt from today's devotional...it really made sense to me, struck a chord with me.
"This raises my heart, Lord: to bring out of my treasure new things and old. I do not have to abandon or reject the parts of my life that seem to have nothing to do with you, the people I have loved and lost, the seemingly irrelevant skills that were half learned. All my past belongs in that treasure. It is not just the religious experiences, but even the moments that seem sordid or horrible or selfish, have played their part in bringing me to where I am with you."
things are okay. not good, great, or bad. but they are okay.
