"I mean, I don’t know how the world broke. And I don’t know if there’s a God who can help us fix it. But the fact that the world is broken - I absolutely believe that. Just look around us. Every minute - every single second - there are a million things you could be thinking about. A million things you could be worrying about. Our world - don’t you just feel we’re becoming more fragmented? I used to think that when I got older, the world would make so much more sense. But you know what? The older I get, the more confusing it is to me. The more complicated it is. Harder. You’d think we’d be getting better at it. But there’s just more and more chaos. The pieces - they’re everywhere. And nobody knows what to do about it. I find myself grasping, Nick. You know that feeling? That feeling when you just want the right thing to fall into the right place, not only because it’s right, but because it would mean that such a thing is still possible? I want to believe that."

i want to believe that too. to believe that one day the chaos will start reversing and all those countless "right things" that i've been watching for will start coming together. and so i wait. not for the right answers, because i don't think they always exist...right and wrong don't always live in each circumstance. no, i wait to see that there is a purpose for each and every episode of brokenness. i wait for those days when He shows me just how He's going about fixing the brokenness. He's doing it, i just don't see it all the time. if i did, i would have little use for this thing called faith. so here's to a new week of hoping more fragments fall into place, of waiting for the "ordo ab chao," because i know who can fix it and i know such a thing is possible.
