Reading this in the dark morning hours and reminded of the words somewhere in Isaiah " I keep a grip on hope". Also reminded of Richard Rohr's teaching about "reward/punishment" and how thankful I am to have walked out of that graceless theology with friends. writers and strong women like you my friend. Thank you for these words and for the challenge to "Sit in the dark room of suffering. grief, pain" until we can see ourselves clearly.
Beautifully vulnerable Katie - as usual.
Also - how many quotations should one use in a comment??
There is no limit on the quotes! I love it. And also it feels like honor when my words spark others'!
I'm so grateful to have walked out of that theology too, and grateful to have you as a friend to keep walking out of it. Thank you for your kind, kind words.
“I grew up thinking that if I wasn’t hopeful, I wasn’t holy. I wasn’t doing something right in my suffering.” Thank you for this poignant, timely share Katie!
