Our lives fall into patterns sometimes. While the patterns may not always be easy to discern, looking back you can find patterns more easily.

What are the patterns in your faith? Can you see a straight path or a jagged collection of stops and starts?

Perhaps you like putting puzzles together. I haven’t put one together in a long time but always start with the corner pieces and the those with a straight edge.

I wish the patterns in my life followed that straight edge sometimes. But I know that God will use whatever pattern we have in our lives for a rich and beautiful experience of our faith.
