trust

“The dominant characteristic of an authentic spiritual life is the gratitude that flows from trust—not only for all the gifts that I receive from God, but gratitude for all the suffering. Because in that purifying experience, suffering has often been the shortest path to intimacy with God".
–Brennan Manning

trust (march 2nd)

I was closing down the coffee house and sweeping the floors like I always do and as I was sweeping, the pile of dust and coffee grounds and crumbs collected at my feet. I looked down and right there in that gross pile of garbage was the word trust. I was so thankful for a perfectly placed reminder.
