The Sweetness of the Shared Struggle

have you ever experienced the blessing of the shared struggle? not anything that comes with solutions, answers or strategies. no, it's just the sweet realization that someone else is wrestling with similar questions too.

i had one of those today when i met up with a friend that i don't get to see all that often. in the course of conversation, we both switched into uber-real mode and found that we are both on very similar messy, scribbly pages...and that feels so great.

it means that i'm not completely insane...or that my lack of sanity has company. i think god wanted me to know that for some reason.

you know what i've decided???...active wrestling (the kind that doesn't always look pretty) is its own move towards surrender...and the life that comes out of it.
