Know the problem or fix the problem. What faith is required if we know the problem then choose to fix the problem. Maybe I want the problem fixed but I don’t want to waste the time or energy required to know the problem. Maybe it is not wise for me to know the problem. Sometimes knowledge of the problem comes later. Knowing the problem can help make better use of resources. Trusting others with resources of the unknown requires faith. Sometimes the pursuit of the cause can magnify the effect. Don’t worry about that? Not wise? God and others know things I do not. How I would have it? Life and love for all. I think that is how God would want it as well. An excuse to abuse the trusting nature of others? No. A sign I want others to be free as well? Yes. I never need instructions and directions? No
know the problem = waste crucial time? Sometimes? Always?
mercy without reason? Sometimes? Always?
greater priorities? Sometimes? Always?
plan in advance? Sometimes? Always?
change the course? Never?
The solution must look pretty? No room for refinement after fixed? Is it odd that clean can make me miss the sand and the dirt? A hike can’t make a beautiful house better? True appreciation without blood, sweat, and tears? Never? Sometimes? Always?
Thankful, grateful, and still want more? Heart rate is up, the punching bag (not the person) gets out the rage, return to the gym again? Kickboxing, not amazing? Clean air and boulders to climb, not amazing? Problems from family, friends, community, nations, and worlds, not amazing? Opportunities, not amazing? Yoga and calm, no need for that in a storm? Music, art, and encouragement, can’t lift us all up?
My art on its own, amazing? Maybe not. In composition on the world stage? With support and love? Not amazing? I like missing voices and missing puzzle pieces? No
Trust me with things I don’t understand? No. My voice can still add value? Yes
My hope is what I write brings mercy, love, encouragement, and faith. Read in part? Maybe not
